Poker lovers will be able to see the World Series of Poker on ESPN until 2018, at least.

According to the new deal with Harrah's, ESPN will air a minimum of 32 hours of event coverage every year. A selection of bracelets events will be covered, of course including the Main Event.

"We are very excited to continue our relationship with Harrah's to deliver the largest, richest, and most prestigious gaming event in the world to fans across a variety of our platforms," said Doug White, senior director of programming and acquisitions at ESPN.

"This long-term agreement ensures that our content will continue to reach sports fans around the world through every medium that matters," said WSOP commissioner Jeffrey Pollack.
