Who was collecting the information on the other players’ hands and sending her the “real time” information? That is where the axe needs to fall.

Players must (?) reveal their hand to the lipstick camera at the edge of the table, but measures are taken to insure the confidentiality of that data, or so we’ve been told. Most of the time, the commentators add their schtick after the game is over and they never get to see “live” cards.

If somebody figured out a way to intercept that data stream, then nobody will ever show their cards to the camera again, which would kill poker TV.

The two most watched Poker programs always show and comment on live hands.

However, the programs are delayed, so the impact is probably zero.

Without real time card display and No Limit Texas Hold 'Em, general interest in poker would collapse.
