I came across the 2017 wsop and saw the final table will be airing this week. I'm a little confused. I fell behind in watching it this year because I've been busy. I also noticed it's airing in 3 or 4 hour increments. The one I came across seemed to be a mess. The graphics on TV doesn't seem to be in sync with the play. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

ESPN is doing some same day coverage on a 30min delay. PokerGo then has the rest of the coverage and I have no idea how that's been going as I didn't buy their coverage (it would have to be at least a 30min delay per Nevada gaming rules).

Hi. There is no 'November 9' any more so there is no big delay to the final table like there has been in recent years. As Jillychemung indicated, there is a block of programming on ESPN then it switches to PokerGo, both are on a 30 minute delay. I bought the PokerGo subscription and have been satisfied with it, but there are a number of people who have had a variety of complaints.

The hole cards being shown on-screen are sometimes slightly behind the run of play and there are a fairly sizeable number of times when no cards or only one card are shown....I guess this is just what happens when they don't have time to edit, showing it as it happens with just the short delay. It was a little off-putting at first like you said but after a while I stopped noticing.
