Everything you need to know about 2016 WSOP main event final table
— -- The 2016 World Series of Poker main event final table kicks off Sunday, and we have everything you need to know about the final nine players right here. The broadcast, which will shift between ESPN and ESPN2 on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights, will also air online on WatchESPN all three nights. All action will air on a 30-minute delay to prevent hole card information from catching up to real time.
To kick things off, Tim Fiorvanti and Andrew Feldman recap the summer's action with several player interviews. Just a few days before the final table got underway, ESPN poker columnist Bernard Lee? had Fiorvanti and veteran poker reporter Remko Rinkema on The Bernard Lee Poker Show to break down each of the final nine players, the biggest moments and controversies of the tournament so far, and changes they'd like to see in the future, among many other topics over the course of almost two hours of in-depth analysis.
Here's what's on tap for the final three days of action at the 2016 WSOP, along with links to the WatchESPN coverage of the event:
