PokerNews.com announced yesterday that they had entered into an agreement with Bluff Media to provide official chip counts and live updates for the 2007 World Series of Poker. This agreement reaches further than the Rio this summer, with agreements in place for future WSOP Circuit events and other WSOP-branded events.
"We are proud to partner with Bluff to provide what we believe will be the best coverage the World Series of Poker has ever seen. We look forward to covering poker's premier events, and fans of poker can count on seeing all the action as it happens," noted PokerNews CEO Damon Rasheed.
Many people we less than impressed with the live coverage supplied by CardPlayer magazine last year at the World Series, and hopes are high that the PokerNews.com team, having cut their teeth on the Aussie Millions tournament and the recent WSOP Circuit event at Caesar's in Las Vegas, will be more successful than their predecessors. PokerNews boasts some of the top reporters in the poker industry including Paul "Dr. Pauly" McGuire, Amy Calistri, Tim Lavelli and ace photographer and writer BJ Nemeth.
PokerNews also boasts a truly worldwide readership, with mirror sites in over 25 languages, making this coverage a truly WORLD Series of Poker.
"The strength in PokerNews is our worldwide network of foreign language sites" Said John Caldwell, Editor-In-Chief of PokerNews.com "The job of covering the WSOP in so many languages is a huge one, and we are working
nonstop with our editors all over the globe in anticipation of covering the WSOP on an unprecedented level. Poker is a global game, and we look forward to leading the charge by providing live coverage for the first time ever in many of the languages we cover."
