Web-Only Poker Show to Debut on ESPN

ESPN is the hot place to be right now for poker programming. The television station recently began airing the 2009 World Series of Poker coverage and now they have announced a new web-only show to begin airing next week.

The new show is called ESPN Inside Deal and will be a weekly show presented by PokerStars. The show can only be found at ESPN’s website and it will begin airing on Tuesday August 4th and will run for three months. As the show begins its first few episodes, poker pro Bernard Lee, ESPN The Magazine contributor Laura Lane and ESPN’s website poker editor Andrew Feldman will be hosting.

The new show will focus on the never before seen hands from the WSOP coverage from ESPN. The show will also discuss the latest poker news; respond to emails, Tweets and Facebook questions from viewers as well as interviewing special guests.

The first program will feature Chris Moneymaker with Daniel Negreanu and Joe Hachem appearing on later episodes. The Inside Deal will continue until November with the end of the first season covering analysis of the final table players.
