They actually extended the WSOP TV broadcast on ESPN from 2 hrs to 2.5 hrs because of so many great/exciting/suck-out hands that were played. Keep in mind that the
live final table lasted about 14.5 hrs on Saturday and another 2.5 hrs on Monday. No way are you going to be able to show every hand in 150 minutes (less commercials). It was certainly a HUGE improvement over the 2008 telecast which only showed 1 or 2 hands when heads-up.
Watching the ESPN broadcast is akin to watching your favorite baseball team on Sports Center. You just get the highlights. To see it all you need to follow the live broadcast presented by Bluff Magazine.
