World Series of Poker

ESPN began airing their coverage of the World Series of Poker last night. Perhaps one of my poker-playing readers can explain to me why they don't do same day or even next day coverage? Why do they wait until all of the WSOP events are over before they begin to show any of them? Given how popular tournament poker has become, it's almost impossible to avoid finding out the tournament winners. Yet ESPN continues to air the biggest poker event of the year on the same schedule a network shows episodes of a sit-com. It just doesn't make sense.
