This Sunday, ESPN will begin its coverage of the World Series of Poker Main Event. Following the conclusion of the Big One for One Drop coverage, which aired until August 12th, poker on ESPN took a brief hiatus.
The pause in poker-related television content, particularly following the captivating high-stakes moments during the million-dollar buy-in event, such as the most devastating loss in history and the media’s exaggerated reaction to a champion refusing an interview, has certainly left a void. Now we can all look forward to the build-up to the championship, the revelation of this year’s November Nine, and all the thrilling moments that come with it.
Every Sunday night, the leading sports network on television will provide two hours of coverage leading up to the Main Event championship, featuring regular commentary by Norman Chad and Lon McEachern. The final table will be broadcasted live on Monday, November 10th and Tuesday, November 11th.
The coverage guarantees to captivate viewers as they witness all the exciting stages unfold, such as the victorious comeback of one of last year’s finalists or how Brazil secured representation for the first time. The final showdown will be intense as the starting chip counts are closely matched and the first place prize has swelled to a cool ten million dollars.
In this section every week, we’ll dissect and analyze highlights from ESPN’s coverage. All this while enduring my Brazilian neighbors’ constant praise of Politano as the greatest ever, and repeatedly ensuring the correct spelling of Pappaconstantinou.
We assure you that all the must-see moments will reach you. To reiterate, the first two episodes will be aired on September 28th, beginning at 9 PM Eastern Time. Keep watching.
