All the walks, blind steals, checks to showdowns, and all that great stuff that usually gets cut will be on air.

Matt Volk, ESPN manager of programming and acquisitions said, “For the first time viewers at home will see a poker telecast from start to finish, with all the strategy of world-class poker players playing in real time and completely unedited,”

The main event final table (Day 6) should happen on Friday January 14.  Records should be broken this year in regards to the prize pool.  Last year the PCA champion was Harrison Gimbel who took home $2,200,000.

Who will be the 2011 PCA Champion?  See it live on ESPN2 and ESPN3.
