It is kind of sad we can't see this on pokernews any more.  I can look forward to going there by mistake multiple times in the next month or two.

They do have selected coverage it seems

http://www.pokernews.com/live-reporting/2015-wsop/

But agree. Their website is so much easier to navigate for this sort of stuff.

Also, and this is a very early opinion and I hope it gets proved wrong, but it looks like whoever WSOP have got in don't know many non-American players, based on their selected coverage. The PokerNews guys knew everyone, in no small part because of their EPT coverage.

Pokernews sponsorship ended?

Yep, all in-house for WSOP.com now
