ESPN’s World Series of Poker coverage has earned itself another Sports Emmy nomination.

The network's WSOP coverage was nominated last year as well and is one of 54 nominations ESPN received this year - the most of any outlet for the ninth time in the last ten years.

Specifically, the WSOP nomination is for ESPN's same-day broadcast of the 2009 final table in the Outstanding Live Event Turnaround category.

Also nominated in the category are ESPN2's Bassmaster Classic, CBC/Versus' Tour de France coverage, Speed and Nascar Media's Inside the Headsets 25th All Star Race, and the PGA Tour's Inside the PGA Tour Deutsche Bank Championship.

ESPN has won a total of 128 Sports Emmy Awards in the past 21 years.

The Awards will be given out at Frederick P. Rose Hall, Home of Jazz at Lincoln Center located in the Time Warner Center on April 26 in New York City.
