The World Series of Poker is back on ESPN.
On Thursday, ESPN and the World Series of Poker announced a multiyear agreement to bring the competition back to the media outlet’s platforms this summer. The new deal is highlighted by more than 100 hours of coverage of the main event beginning on July 2, culminating in a three-night linear finale for the final table from Aug. 3 to 5.
Early-round coverage of the main event will include three simultaneous featured tables, allowing viewers to see more hands from the top players as they make their way through the tournament. World Series of Poker CEO Ty Stewart touted a “high-paced viewing experience” with the new broadcasts.
