This year the cabler will offer its first-ever same-day airing of the World Series of Poker.
That's "same-day," not "live."
Here's the plan: Play between the WSOP's final two contestants will begin on Monday, Nov. 10 at 10 p.m. PST from the Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. The sports net will begin its broadcast at 9 p.m. EST on Tuesday, Nov. 11. Thus, the live event technically begins Nov. 11 in the Eastern and Central zones, and since play will likely extend past midnight Pacific, the broadcast will also count as same-day on Mountain and Pacific time.
Got that?
