Poker Central has acquired the global television and digital media rights for the World Series of Poker.
Poker Central and ESPN have reached an agreement and together will oversee live* televised coverage and original episodes throughout the year. The arrangement marks the first time ESPN will air same-day coverage of the WSOP from Day 1 of the Main Event to the conclusion of the final table. The model of coverage has been agreed upon for a period of four years.
The tournament will once again play out in the summer.
