ESPN decided not to film the $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. event, which incorporates five poker disciplines. While the event has become prestigious among poker die-hards, it doesn't translate well to television and the ratings suffered.
Instead, ESPN will be airing coverage of three events from this year's WSOP: the 40th anniversary $40,000 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em event, the Ante Up for Africa event and the Main Event.
Coverage of this year's World Series of Online Poker Betting will be different from the last few years.
This year's Main Event will have unprecedented coverage, with more televised hours than ever. These changes haven't come without controversy, though, because a scheduling conflict has forced ESPN to scramble.
