Check Out the Live Stream and Television Schedule for All 10 WSOP APAC Events
From October 2-18, 2014, the 2014 World Series of Poker Asia-Pacific will host 10 gold bracelet events from Australia’s Crown Melbourne, and the first eight of those events will be live streamed online for the world to see. Furthermore, both the WSOP APAC AU$10,000 Main Event and AU$25,000 High Roller will be broadcast with hole cards on a 30-minute delay on ESPN in both the U.S. and Australia.
“With 10 gold bracelets on the line and video of every event, we are thrilled to be at Crown in Melbourne to finish what has been an exceptional year for the WSOP,” said WSOP Executive Director Ty Stewart.
Every hand of High Roller final table will air on ESPN beginning at 3 p.m. local time on Friday, October 17, and then one day later at the same time the final table of the Main Event will be televised. It will mark the first time in Australia that a poker event has aired the same day it is contested.
As for the live streams, which will be shown free of charge exclusively on WSOP.com, the scheduled start times are 12:10 p.m. local time daily from October 5-12, though the exact time is flexible depending whether or not the final table is reached in time. The WSOP will make periodic announcements via social media, so be sure to follow them on Twitter @WSOP.
The live stream will employ a four-camera system, and will broadcast on a five-minute delay without hole cards. Additionally, there will be no announcer, though viewers will be treated to audio from the tournament director’s microphone. Here’s a look at the WSOP APAC Live Stream schedule:
