Third Annual WSOP Europe Prepares for September 17 Start

For many poker players and fans, it seems as if the 2009 World Series of Poker only recently wrapped in Las Vegas, but in truth it has been nearly two months since the November Nine were determined. As players got some much-needed rest before hitting the global tournament circuit and planned their fall schedules, many of them began to realize that the third annual World Series of Poker Europe was just around the corner. With just over a week left before it begins, they will soon begin their descent upon London and the Casino at the Empire in Leicester Square. Read more

ESPN WSOP Coverage Review – 9-1-09

The last two weeks of telecasts took us through the four days that made up Day One of the Main Event. The focus, not surprisingly, was on well-known professionals, such as Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth, and Mike Matusow. The only one of the November Nine that we got to see was, again to no one’s surprise, Phil Ivey, who was as much under the spotlight as a player could be while playing at a table in the hinterlands of the tournament room. Tonight, ESPN moved on to Day Two, with tonight’s two hours being devoted to Day 2A. Read more

2009 WSOP November Nine Make Sponsorship Decisions

It has been well over a month since the November Nine was determined at the Rio in Las Vegas, and one of the major points of speculation since then has been the sponsorship of each of the players. While the focus of most of the fans will be the skill level of the players and who among them have the best chances of winning the 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event, it has been interesting to watch the sponsorship deals emerge.Sponsorship of players at any final table can be a lucrative business.

ESPN’s WSOP Coverage Review – August 25, 09

ESPN’s coverage of the World Series of Poker moved to Days 1C and 1D of the Main Event. With the crowds for the two days greatly eclipsing those of the first two sessions, a number of questions hung in the air. Would the network spend any time on the controversy surrounding the closing of registration on Day 1D? Would it even address the wide disparity in the number of players from day to day? Would there be some mention of the different number of levels played on the various first days? Read more

ESPN’s WSOP Coverage Review – August 18, 09

Over the next two months, ESPN will be setting up the stories that it hopes will play out for the November Nine, when the final table finally takes place. With two new episodes each week between now and then, all of them focused on the Main Event, they have plenty of time to develop the characters that will battle it out for the crown in a little less than three months. The next two weeks will trace the four separate first days of the tournament, beginning with tonight’s telecast of Day 1A and Day 1B. Read more

ESPN WSOP Coverage Review – August 11, 2009

With the dramatic reduction in the number of events ESPN chose to cover this year, it was a bit surprising to find that one of the ones that made the cut was not a bracelet event at all, but the Ante Up for Africa charity tourney. On one hand, the decision was quite understandable, because the number of celebrities that participated in the event added an aura of glitz to the telecast that attracts more casual viewers.

2009 WSOP Review: Successes Far Outweighed Failures

It has been nearly a month since the 2009 World Series of Poker found its November Nine and wrapped until the ESPN coverage catches up. The Rio hallways are now filled with random convention goers instead of poker players, and the poker world focuses on online poker tournaments, cash games, and live events from New Zealand and Kiev and from Los Angeles to Atlantic City. But the WSOP only recently concluded and is still fresh in most people’s minds and a summer full of poker news and events should be reviewed, if nothing else but for the mark it has made on the poker world.
