ESPN has announced plans to expand its coverage of the Main Event and the $50,000 buy-in HORSE mixed-game tournament at the 2007 World Series of Poker (WSOP).
“We’re delighted that ESPN is bringing even more depth to its already superb coverage of the WSOP,” said Jeffrey Pollack, WSOP commissioner. “No-one produces poker better than ESPN, and its powerful audience of sports fans will see all of the thrills, drama and excitement that make us so unique.”
Although the final schedule is subject to change, ESPN plans to televise 16 hours of coverage of the WSOP Main Event, as well as 10 one-hour programmes covering other bracelet events.
The $50,000 HORSE Championship will receive six hours of airtime and the format of the final table will include all five games.
Full dates and air times will be released in the coming months.
