PokerNewsDaily got the ESPN Producer Jamie Horowitz to tell about the preparations for WSOP Final Table. He tells that they have a lot to do before the grand finale.
WSOP Final Table will be played at November 7th. Play will continue until they have two remaining players in heads up. All the poker fans are eager to see who wins so ESPN needs to create the broadcast within 24 hours from the filming.
An episode within 24 hours
Jamie Horowitz tells that they have 40 HD cameras running at the Final Table along with massive amounts of labor and other equipment. To get the episode aired in time will need quite a heroic task:
“The show that you normally see takes weeks to put together. In November, they’re going to play from nine players to two on Saturday and a couple of hours in, we’ll start editing. Sunday is a full-on edit day. On Monday, we play from two down to a champion.”
Horowitz also adds that even putting up the whole show in 24 hours will be a hefty task, the story still needs to be told in a “selling” way, with all the drama and intensity of the Final Table. They need to tell a story about the two heads up finalists, that they are both winners.
