WSOP Main Event on ESPN Begins Tonight

Filed in Arts and Entertainment by on August 18, 2009

Will Brunson’s pocket queens hold up against Nguyen’s big slick? Like me, I’m sure you’ll all be glued to the TV for this awesome sporting event.

“Starting on August 18th, the Main Event will air every Tuesday night on ESPN. Each of the four starting days will receive its own two hour block of coverage over four consecutive weeks. Day 2A and Day 2B will air on September 15th and 22nd, respectively. Each of the remaining days of play in the 2009 WSOP Main Event will play out over the course of one week, culminating in the final table, which will air on Tuesday, November 10th. The “November Nine” will once again experience a 100 day delay in the final table playing out.

Last year, ESPN television ratings boomed by 50% as a result. There are 31 episodes of WSOP coverage in total.

    I guess you weren’t following all this on ESPN.com as it was actually happening. I can tell you who is at the final table that resumes in November. Hint: it ain’t you.

    I keep forgetting you are into this game. We should play sometime. For points, of course.

    The computer gives the dry facts. The TV reveals the poetry. As for us playing, DV has also mentioned getting a game together. I think it is doable.
