I remember last year there was a live poker broadcast (I'm not sure if there was a live crowd or not). It was a one-off 6 person tourney - we got to see all the action (and inaction sometimes). The cards had embedded magnetic encoders so each card was known as it was dealt - including burn cards. I think it was held in Monte Carlo and it was definately live (there may have been a small delay I guess) - they even took breaks during commercials.

It was pretty cool, I'm surprised they haven't done it again - it was great fun to watch. It was not at all boring, even during a span where Devilfish stole the blinds 4 or 5 hands in a row...
