Watch the 2011 WSOP final table tonight on ESPN or live streaming internet feed.Last night I watched the 2011 WSOP final table being streamed live online, well the first part of the final as I’m sure many others did. I hooked up a laptop to my 42 inch LED TV set up the cables and was all good to go, well at least that’s what I thought would be the case.

What unfolded was a bit of mixed feelings in regard to how the WSOP 2011 live stream was run and in general how much better coverage for the greatest poker event of the year could have been handled.

My first issue was I searched all my satellite channels which is really saying something as I have a Dreambox and access to most European TV channels via satellite which includes ESPN and ESPN America but sadly the WSOP was being shown on ESPN2 which I could not access.

My only means to watch the “WSOP 2011 live” was via a live streaming broadcast of the WSOP which was easy enough to find as we had previously posted about the 2011 WSOP Final Live on ESPN.

So after setting up my laptop TV combo I loaded the WSOP live stream only to find out that too many others had done the same thing causing the live feed to crash I then checked out the WSOP twitter feed which read “Sorry folks, we’re experiencing a minor issue with the feed. It should be up and running in 15 min. Players now on the 1st break of the day.”
