Recently I've become a bit of a poker on tv addict. Tonight I saw some wsop main event on ESPN but it was from 2007.

Does anyone know when I can see the world series of poker main event from 2008 on TV? (Why the hell don't they broadcast live!)

Haha, great point Seany. It's just very frustrating to turn on ESPN and see them showing a WSOP Main Event... only to see '2007', doh!

I wish I had a channel to watch poker on.
I don't.
I only watch on the net.

2008 episodes start July 22. And then of course they'll show the Main Event ones to hype up the FT, showcasing the players who made it to the FT.

Last night I saw Jerry Yang go runner runner for a straight to avoid elimination, reminded me what a luckbox he really was.

Yes, ESPN has a 2 hour poker episode every Tuesday night starting on the 22nd of July, but it is not the Main Event, it's some of the other events. The schedule was posted on other well known poker sites.

We watch a lot of the old stuff all the time on TV, will be great to finally see something up to date. Thanks for letting us know when- setting my DVR shortly.
