Today I did the color commentary on the Pay-Per-View side of the WSOP Live broadcasts. It was the final table of Event 27 ($1,500 buy-in NLHE with 2,315 entrants.) This was my first color analyst gig, and I really enjoyed it (I hope the viewers did too). The play-by-play guy was Scott Lauer, who was easy to work with. In real life, Scott does play-by-play for the NBA Cleveland Cavaliers, but he loves poker and it shows in his broadcasting and the questions he posed to me.

I do not know if there are replays, or even if people can get to watch individual events. There is a subscription package available for I think $49.95,, which covers several WSOP events and most Circuit Final Tables as well. Due to a new way of showing final tables, viewers can see all hole cards in almost real time. (We had a slight glitch this evening and lost hole cards for an hour or so of the 6 hour final table.) With hole cards visible tot he commentators and audience, the broadcasts are far more interesting, and seeing all of the hands played out is quite educational. I think. These subscriptions are available at www.worldseriesofpoker.com.

I hope they invite me back, and if they do, I will try to provide more notice here.
