While the agreement is still subject to definitive documentation, Eddy Kleid, the co-president of Bluff Media, has announced that the firm is determined to provide the highest quality service to WSOP fans. “We are extremely excited to be working with Harrah’s Entertainment and Sirius Satellite Radio to produce complete radio coverage of the WSOP,” Kleid said. “The World Series of Poker is the premier gaming event and offers the largest purse in all of sports. Our ground-breaking coverage will bring the excitement of the WSOP to listeners live as it happens.”

Jeffrey Pollack, Commissioner of the World Series of Poker, has referred to the deal as a first, saying “Now fans can experience all of the color, thrills and action of our tournament on Sirius Satellite Radio and with expert perspective and behind-the-scenes access from Bluff Poker Radio.”

Poker fans can tune in to Bluff Poker Radio’s live World Series of Poker broadcasts on the Sirius Satellite Radio Channel 125. Broadcasts will run for a minimum of ten hours each day commencing June 29 and will continue through to the grand final of the $10 000 buy-in No-Limit Hold ’Em World Championship. The live broadcasts will include tournament analysis, tournament updates, live play-by-play action from most tables and interviews with top players.

A veritable who’s who of the poker world will be participating in the broadcasts, including former Monday Night Football radio announcer, Howard David, poker journalist John Vorhaus and current Bluff Poker Radio host Nick Geber. Commentary for the Grand Final will be provided by Phil Gordon, the former host of Celebrity Poker Showdown.
