The World Series of Poker starts today, and ESPN's cameras will be there to capture much of the poker action. Starting only a dozen days after the WSOP's main event ends on Aug. 10, ESPN will begin to air the main event championship in 12 one-hour shows every Tuesday at 8 p.m. and 9 p.m.

If fans can't wait until September to get a glimpse of final table live action, ESPN is making the final table available for pay-per-view purchase for a suggested retail price of $24.95. The final table starts at Aug. 10 at 3 p.m. EST. and can be viewed through the cable networks or through computers.

Of course, if fans want to follow all the WSOP poker action for free, they should visit CardPlayer.com's full tournament coverage page here.

ESPN starts airing coverage of the rest of the WSOP starting Oct. 3. It will air 10 one-hour shows of various tournaments. Its WSOP broadcast schedule ends on Halloween.

But ESPN's Tuesday poker night coverage kicks off July 18, when it starts airing some of the WSOP Circuit events that have taken place throughout the year. The complete broadcast schedule is as follows. Each show is an hour long:
