Caesars Interactive  Entertainment, owner of the World Series of Poker (WSOP), announced this  weekend that it has tweaked the schedule for the upcoming November Nine  slightly in order to improve its television coverage.
 
 The  original schedule for the Main Event, which is still displayed on the  WSOP’s official structure sheet, was for the final table to run from  November 5th through November 7th.  Now, everything has been moved back  one day, with the final table starting on Sunday, November 6th at  11:30am PDT.  Then, instead of taking a day off and bringing back the  two finalists, they will take a day off and resume the final table at  5:00pm with the final three players.
 
 All of this is being done  so that ESPN can better cover the event.  The entire final table will be  broadcast virtually live, with just a 15-minute delay.  The action will  be shown, complete with hole cards and commentary, on both ESPN and  ESPN2, as well as online at ESPN3.com.  This is very similar to how ESPN  covered the rest of the Main Event, the main difference being that the  previous days of the tournament were shown with a 30-minute delay.  The  coverage generally received very positive reviews from the poker  community, with people enjoying the commentary of Lon McEachern, David  Tuckman, Phil Hellmuth, Antonio Esfandiari, and Olivier Busquet.  It is  unknown at this time who will be announcing the final table, but it  would not be surprising if it was this same group, or at least a subset  of it, along with special guest commentators.
