We\’re no TV experts here — when is Gilligan\’s Island gonna get the trophy it deserves? — but we knew we were looking at something special on the small screen watching Joe Cada upend the hopes and dreams of Darvin Moon and logger poker players everywhere. (Phil Ivey probably had something to do with that, too.)
Sure enough, for the second year in a row, ESPN\’s WSOP coverage got an Emmy nomination.
Specifically it was for the November Nine coverage in the category \”Outstanding Live Event Turnaround\”.
I think they\’re referring to the fine TV production work of Dave Swartz, Matt Maranz, and the 441 Productions crew, moreso than the chipstack turnaround of Cada.
