WSOP highlights from your cell phone

Catch final table play on your mobile.

By Erin Warner

When Mike Matusow's face staring back at you from a computer screen just isn't real enough, tune into the World Series of Poker on your mobile phone.

For a second year, the WSOP has partnered with Verizon Wireless to bring two broadcasts of tournament highlights to carriers each day.

On the sports channel through V Cast, poker nuts can take in the WSOP action from the tournament floor, see top pro players being interviewed and get chip counts and updates from ongoing events.

Verizon customers with V Cast-enabled phones can access the highlights by adding the VPak subscription to their wireless calling plan. The package costs $15, which includes unlimited video from all the 55 bracelet events at the WSOP. Users can enjoy the video clips as many times as they like without worrying about extra charges and there are no airtime fees.

The event will now be available to millions of Verizon Wireless customers.

"We set out in our relationship with Harrah's to provide fans of the World Series of Poker with the most authentic experience available for the mobile phone," said Verizon director Robin Chan in a release.
