Online Casino Fans Turn to ESPN for Poker
5 Oct 2006
ESPN, the leading sports broadcasting channel, is quickly becoming the place to watch televised poker. Online casino fans who are interested in watching the top poker pros play their game turn to ESPN to watch, learn, and to be entertained with great poker play. The ESPN broadcast of the 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event once again outclassed all the other televised poker programs. Although it seems that other poker shows offer a more critical analysis of play, ESPN brings a more entertaining aspect to the tube. Online casino players can learn from the best while watching top-notch poker. Then they can take their newly learned skill to the online casinos.
'If you are really quick with math you might notice there are more than US 2 million dollars in extra chips in play that may be due to a miscount during the color up of chips. So now there's a little more than US 90 million dollars chips at the final table,' said Lon McEachern, a commentator. By weaving in expertly-crafted player biographies between hands and adding short entertaining features like 'The Nuts', ESPN created a show that anyone can enjoy - including online casino fans and novices. The witty commentary adds to the broadcast for all viewers - online casino and land-based alike.
So if you love poker and you enjoy watching good competition, ESPN has the broadcasts for you. Everyone knows that ESPN brings great sports action and coverage to fans all around the world, and now poker players and online casino enthusiasts have a little sector of their own that is watched and loved. So check out ESPN during one of the WSOP shows and see how you can bring the new knowledge you learn to the online casino.
