WPT puts cards on table in court

The parent company of the "World Poker Tour" has sued its outlet, the Travel Channel, for allegedly interfering with plans to develop a new poker series on ESPN. WPT Enterprises Inc. sued the Travel Channel and its parent, Discovery Communications Inc., for alleged breach of contract and intentional interference. The case, filed Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court, seeks unspecified damages and various court orders, including a declaration that WPT upheld its side of the contract, while the defendants breached their obligations. Travel Channel spokesman David Leavy said the outlet continues to recognize that "WPT" is an important franchise. (Jesse Hiestand) FULL STORY
