As Simmons mentioned, the 2018 broadcast schedule is set to include a multitude of non-hold��em events, in response to fan feedback last year. Among these event additions are streamed final tables of $10K Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better, $1,500 Eight Game Mix, $10K No Limit Lowball Draw, $1,500 Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better, $1,500 Pot Limit Omaha, $10K Seven Card Stud, $25K High Roller Pot Limit Omaha and $10K Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw.

Poker Central and ESPN already released their preliminary live coverage schedule for the WSOP Main Event from July 2 �C July 14 as well as the $1 million buy-in Big One for One Drop from July 16-17. While much of these two prestigious events will air on ESPN, PokerGO will be offering exclusive coverage of the events outside of the ESPN broadcast windows.

��We��re looking forward to having Poker Central and ESPN tag team coverage for the WSOP again this year,�� said Ty Stewart, executive director of the WSOP. ��Fans can expect stellar storylines and wall-to-wall coverage throughout the event and during the ��Big One for One Drop.����
