Las Vegas, NV, May 28, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Bluff Media, the publishers of Bluff Magazine and BluffMagazine.com, announced Tuesday a myriad of improvements to its coverage of the 2009 World Series of Poker.

“Poker fans should be very excited about being able to see these final tables live,” said Eric Morris, publisher of Bluff Magazine. “We’re very proud to be the official digital media partner of the WSOP and look forward to showing the world some of the world’s best poker players chasing those highly coveted gold bracelets.”
