The core group of talent is back for another year: Lon McEachern as play-by-play and Norman Chad as analyst. Kara Scott returns as sideline reporter and break desk host. Over the course of the live two and a half week production, ESPN will have many of the biggest names in poker joining McEachern and Chad in the booth. The feature and secondary tables are equipped with RFID chip technology, interfaced with the graphics to reveal the players’ cards instantly. A third table, as well as the feature and secondary tables, are also equipped with the “hole card” cameras as a back-up. Additional RF cameras have been added to cover play in the outer rooms, where well over 6,000 participants are expected.
