Apparently ESPN would make it easier for me to set my Tivo … here\’s the episode-by-episode schedule of the 2009 WSOP on ESPN. My only question — and I can almost bet they\’ve had this fight internally — is can\’t they get at least one extra hour (or preferably two) for the semi-live coverage of the November Nine? I mean shee-ot, we want poker to be treated something like a sport, and yet poker\’s version of the Super Bowl can\’t even get as much airtime as an NFL pre-season game? Gives the producers so little to work with …
Anyhow, until then … coming up next: Tom McEvoy becomes \”the Champion of Champions\” by winning a car that he will sell before the end of the WSOP:
