Got a press announcement about a week ago:
WORLD SERIES OF POKER EUROPE DEBUTS SUNDAY, FEB. 1 ON ESPN
ESPN’s first ever coverage of the World Series of Poker Europe will begin on Sunday, Feb. 1 with the first four episodes beginning at 6 p.m. ET, followed by an encore presentation of episodes 1 and 2 on ESPN2 at 10 p.m., co-hosted by Lon McEachern and Norman Chad.
I figured, cool … new WSOP events that really I knew nothing about … would be just like old times. They should be able to do a pretty good editing job on this one, too — with way more time than production crews had for the November Nine. But I wasn\’t able to put 2+2 together to realize that ESPN decided to debut the WSOP-E up against the Super Bowl! So it\’s on right now. Anyone watching?
As they say in Britain … Brilliant!
UPDATE: So what\’s up with the Euros laying out the flop one card at a time? That doesn\’t seem right, does it?
