Exclusive: WSOP Exec Ty Stewart Responds to WSOP November Nine Changes
Ty StewartThe World Series of Poker and Poker Central announced the formation of a new partnership in a media release May 15.
Under the agreement, the WSOP will be broadcast live via a combination of media outlets. PokerNews spoke to WSOP Executive Director Ty Stewart about the changes.
What's the exact situation with the November Nine this year?
The November Nine is staying put through 2020, only now it's just being played out in July. What I mean by that is TV coverage of every hand of the final table and a spectacle unlike anything else in poker is here for the long haul. Creating mainstream attention for poker is what has always been important to us. Not a nickname.
