WSOP is back on ESPN with AI features

According to Sportico (https://www.sportico.com/leagues/other-sports/2026/world-series-of-poker-espn-ai-predict-bluff-1234937847/) and other sources ESPN has brought wsop (https://www.casino.us/poker/tournaments/wsop/) back to its channel.

But it arrived with a twist...

AI engineer Luke Geel has come up with a tool analyze player's body language from a video feed. The aim is to analyze whether player is bluffing (https://www.casino.us/poker/strategy/bluffing/), having a strong hand, etc.

At this point the production company is going to use the tool cautiously and only on eliminated players. The point of this (along with bringing WSOP back to the channel) is probably peek the interest of masses toward poker again.

Wow, they're going to create a new database with that!

Some people prefer not to participate in these specific tournaments for fear of revealing their weaknesses!

Well good to hear that the WSOP is back on ESPN but im not a fan of that AI gimmick thats for sure. At least they are only using in on eliminated players so far.

Hey...this is important, it needs to be done. Who cares if AI is using up massive amounts of drinking water 😒

Oye... esto es importante, hay que hacerlo. ¿A quién le importa si la IA está consumiendo enormes cantidades de agua potable?😛recavido:

I wonder how long it will take before a war begins because of the lack of drinking water in the world
