New look WSOP episodes | Poker Bonus Club Marawa
With most of the attention is on the here and now of the WSOP Main Event -the players at the final table- ESPN begins with the broadcasts of the WSOP 2010. The first episode of the 50K Players Championship is now available on YouTube and what is most striking is the new design.
Some things in the WSOP have been the same for a long time. Take for example the comments of Norman Chad and Lon McEachern. The duo has been linked to the annual poker championship since 2003. McEachern has been providing commentary since the late nineties.
What is changed this year is the ‘look’ of the episodes. Everything looks just a little tighter and more modern. Also new is that for the first time we see good poker television where attention is paid to the position of the players. Of course usually you hear a commentator say that sometimes a player raises from the button, but at the World Series of Poker broadcasts on ESPN you can now see at what position the player is at a glance. At the poker table indeed the same principle as between the sheets holds: Position is everything!
These are the positions at the table as they will be shown on ESPN for now:
