Pokergo is gearing up for the upcoming WSOP tournament. Pokergo is going to air the coveted tournament as the official media partner. But, the media platform had another surprise in store for us. To make the tournament even more lively for all those poker lovers who won't be present live, Pokergo has got into an association with Twitch.tv.

Twitch will be responsible for the effective streaming of over 31 tournaments and 25 final table, from June 2 to July 14. The action will unfold on twitch.tv/pokercentral and will be embedded in PokerNews' live reporting pages.

Everyone's favourite David Tuchman will bring the action to live with his commentary on Twitch.tv. He will be supported by PokerNews podcast host and former professional poker player Jeff Platt. Variety will be brought into the commentary with the help of period commentary by Twitch poker personalities and other poker pros.
