Jeff Platt, a renowned poker broadcaster, has taken on a broader role at the World Series of Poker (WSOP). His new position includes hosting, producing, and leading the global broadcast team. The move aims to enhance the way fans watch and engage with the tournaments.

Under Platt's leadership, the WSOP plans to improve the viewing experience. More tournaments, players, and storylines will take centre stage in future broadcasts.

The expanded role gives Platt greater responsibility in shaping WSOP's media presence. His work will focus on delivering richer content for fans worldwide. The changes come as the organisation looks to grow its audience and engagement.
