In a partnership reflecting an extensive cross-platform distribution strategy and the growing appetite for poker programming, Poker Central will produce 41 days of live coverage including 25 days of poker to stream exclusively on CBS All Access, with eight days of coverage airing exclusively on PokerGO and an additional eight days of live streaming to be aired on both CBS and Poker Central platforms.
