The only difference in that regard was that they now had cameras that showed you the cards as the players saw them. Before, you would know the cards because it was taped and the commentary was added afterwards. You still knew what everyone had.
Here's a tangent -- does anyone know for certain how the play-by-play commentary for tournament's are handled now? Travel Channel's coverage appears live to tape, but I'm think that ESPN and Fox PBP is taped afterwards. Any idea?
