The pay-per-view telecast will be offered in addition to ESPN's regularly televised presentation of the WSOP and the Circuit championships.

cardplayer.com does a live radio broadcast, or close to it might be delayed a few minutes

Nope, you will not catch me ordering that PPV. I wonder how much of this PPV they will sell. It will be interesting to see the figures if they release them.

Im talking total sales on the ppv. Not the price of it. Would like to see how many would actually pay to watch that stuff.

Since ESPN delays the telecast, does that mean the ppv won't be live?

It's hard for me to believe anyone would watch let alone pay to see it. No offense to all you card players out there.

I'd watch, or more accurately, I'd watch some while I recorded it. It would be boring, but far more instructive than the edited versions we see on TV now.

If it was live you wouldn't see any card cams.

You're right. Let's hope for about a 10 minute tape delay.

That would be pretty cool, but I doubt that even happens unless they ban cell phones in the poker room.
