At least ESPN is trying to compete, instead of throwing 20 year old boxing against wild card games like they did this past weekend. I've got a feeling this "Mobile Hole Cam" is going to be incredibly hokey, if I'm reading from the updates from Pokernews correctly. It appeared that when players won a pot, they'd then show the cards to the camera. If that's the case, it looks like the 2002 WSOP when they allegedly had cameras, but for whatever reason, you only saw these cards when players were all-in.
