Old School WSOP on now - ESPN Classic

Starting with the 1993 WSOP going thru 1998 (with the 1996 US Poker Championships replacing the 1996 WSOP). The 1996 USPC features classic Hellmuth moments, so fire up the Tivo.

From Conjelco's coverage of the event back in 1996: [ QUOTE ]
I did not see any celebrity announcer, nor did I see any ESPN cameras, or any other network that I recognized. Lots of cameras though.

"they must both have picture cards" is about the most in-depth, expert poker commentary I have ever heard.

Actually, I been watching these things all night while 2 tabling most of the night, and every time I turned my head to watch it, I think that the commentators normally did quite a decent job with the lack of knowledge of seeing hold cards. I think Gabe Kapelan and PhilHellmuth in the one did decent jobs commentating. I'm guessing the one that's on right now is the one in which Scotty Winn wins his title.
