I've been doing my best to keep up to date on the latest goings on at the WSOP, checking chips counts etc a few times each day but and wondering what sites in your opinion has the best coverage?

You might try pokernews.com. They seem to have some live reporting going on.

Well the official WSOP site is a good place to start. It has all the events with chipcounts and live "blogged" updates during the event, including hand-by-hand during the final table (I think). It also has some video links. If you click to "view" an event, then you can go to various topics in the blue bar above.

But CardPlayer and Bluff seem to also have good info, plus Pokernews as Chipper mentioned. I go to CardPlayer a lot.

gutshot.com has coverage with a little more 'character' than some of the other sites. My site of choice FWIW.

David.

Thanks for the information guys. I've have been following the coverage of the WSOP on a combination of sites, mainly CardPlayer.com; PokerListings.com and the official WSOP site as each tends to offer sometime but will check out the one you mentioned.

bluffmagazine.com bought exclusive rights to give live updates and chip counts. Pokernews licensed the rights from Bluff so both of those sites will have the most up to date info. Any other site is getting sloppy seconds.

pokernews has the exclusive information this year.
And go to Tao of Poker, http://taopoker.blogspot.com/
it's got so much more than card histories and stacks and eliminations, it's got the color....

Pauly's blog is the best. He's working for the site that has official full access coverage, PokerNews, and he reports on the good stuff, too.

I don't think anybody of those guys (pokernews and cardplayer) are doing great job with the coverage. Yes, pokernews has the exclusive rights to the updates and chipcounts, but they seen to have problems with multiple names of the same person in the chip counts. It is not as user friendly as Card Players coverage. Can't see how many players are left too. Updates are pretty regular though. Maybe I just gotta get used to this site.

Card Player just can't keep up. The last update for the final table for the $2500 NLH tournament was an hour ago.

EDIT: It looks like pokernews has access to the holecards cam on the final table, so they are updating what the player had even though they did not have to show there cards. Looks like they will be sequesterd once they go on break so they don't get any information from anyone who is reading the updates on the net.
