PKR In Live Coverage Deal With The WSOP

The British online poker room PKR.com announced this week that they have agreed a blockbuster deal with poker publisher Bluff Media that will see PKR.com act as the exclusive sole live broadcaster of 24 bracelet events from this year's World Series of Poker in Las Vegas.

With ESPN no longer broadcasting many World Series events across Europe, PKR.com will be the only place for poker fans to watch some of the biggest bracelet tournaments unfold. Even better news for

European fans is the fact that they can watch the live action free of charge by logging on to http://wsop.pkr.com/ – PKR.com's World Series of Poker micro-site.

PKR.com's live broadcast will include full coverage from the final table of the key $50 000 World Championship H.O.R.S.E. Other events certain to see many fans stay up late will include five $10 000 World Championship final tables of tournaments such as the Heads Up No Limit Hold'em (event number 29) and the Pot Limit Omaha (event number 41).

"The World Series of Poker is without doubt the biggest event of the poker calendar and it fills me with delight that PKR has managed to scoop exclusive rights to be the official broadcaster for these 24 bracelet events," PKR.com Marketing Director Simon Prodger said, commenting on the deal.

Prodger added that PKR.com will also become the exclusive non-US sponsor of the official World Series of Poker website. The announcement tops of a year of unprecedented World Series activity for the company with the recent announcement of PKR.com World Series welcome party on July 1st at the Palms, along with a range of $12 500 sponsored World Series Main Event packages for its players.
