ESPN2 Airing WSOPE
It was held a few months ago, but ESPN2 will be airing coverage of the World Series of Poker Europe starting this weekend.
Though the tournament was just in its third year last year, it has quickly become one of the most prestigious tournaments in Europe. Held at the famed Empire Casino in London, England, the tournament ran from Sept. 17 to Oct. 1, 2009.
Some of the biggest names in the poker business will be seen playing the tables, including Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth, Annette Obrestad, Patrik Antonius, Phil Ivey, Doyle Brunson and Gus Hansen. To add to the allure, the tournament featured Ryder-Cup style events which included a Team Americas vs. Team Europe series of matches.
