The WSOP's November Nine experiment WSOP 2009 proves to be a big hit again

According to the latest viewing figures from ESPN, over 2.1m viewers watched Joe Cada battle through the WSOP final table and snatch victory from Darvin Moon.

Although figures for the final were slightly down compared to the audience which watched Peter Eastgate triumph over Ivan Demidov in 2008, overall viewing figures across the entire 15 weeks of WSOP coverage were up.

The number of households watching increased 9% to 1,024,901 and crucially the target demographic of males aged 25-54 jumped up by 13%.
