Altogether, ESPN plans to show at least 130 hours of coverage during the event, which includes 90 hours of produced content and at least 40 hours of poker action. Poker Central\u2019s PokerGO<\/strong> will offer additional coverage that ESPN does not broadcast.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the third-straight year, Poker Central and ESPN will deliver expansive coverage of the WSOP Main Event to a continually growing audience across multiple platforms,\u201d said Poker Central Chief Digital Officer<\/strong> JR McCabe<\/strong>, in a statement. \u201cWe, again, look forward to bringing poker\u2019s pinnacle event to fans around the world.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Both WSOP and ESPN management echoed McCabe\u2019s statements. Both stressed how essential the coverage is to both groups.<\/p>\n

The plan is part of an ongoing partnership between ESPN and Poker Central. PokerGO will also broadcast several other WSOP bracelet events through its streaming service.<\/p>\n
