World Series of Poker on Twitch.tv

Just a couple days ago, PokerGO announced their plans for the World Series of Poker.

Today, the company announced it's doing a whole lot more than "just" the full feature broadcasts on their own dedicated streaming platform. They partnered up with Twitch.tv, the popular streaming video site mostly known for live streams from gamers and poker players.

"Year after year, our goal is to provide the highest quality poker content to as large an audience possible."

Twitch will bring live coverage of over 31 tournaments and 25 final tables, with live streams broadcasted June 2 through July 14. The action will unfold on twitch.tv/pokercentral and will be embedded in PokerNews' live reporting pages.

David Tuchman will be the lead commentator for the Twitch.tv streams with support from PokerNews podcast host and former professional poker player [Removed:139]. A rotating cast of Twitch poker personalities and poker pros will hop in the booth as color commentators.

��Year after year, our goal is to provide the highest quality poker content to as large an audience possible,�� said Sam Simmons, vice president of content at Poker Central. ��To that end, we��re proud to work with our long-time partners at Twitch to produce and distribute additional coverage of the WSOP - the preeminent tournament series in all of poker.��

Poker debuted on Twitch.tv back in 2014 and, according to the press release, poker viewership continues to grow year-over-year. Twitch has become home to some of poker's most notable personalities, such as Jason Somerville, Lex Veldhuis, Parker Talbot, Jaime Staples, and others.

��The Twitch community thrives on interacting with the best players and witnessing the best plays in poker,�� said Farhan Ahmed, head of poker partnerships at Twitch. ��Since poker has continued to grow significantly as a content category on Twitch and the World Series of Poker represents one of top levels of competition the sport has to offer, it��s exciting to bring it to our passionate poker fanbase.��
