After the success of the 2011 World Series of Poker live feed (both in the preliminary events online as well as the final table of the Main Event on ESPN) 2012 looks to be the year of the live tournament feed, as PokerStars has announced it will broadcast both the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) Main Event and High-Roller tournament live on the Internet with hole cards and live commentary.

The “live” feed from the PCA will be available on PokerStars.tv, and will show both events on a 40-minute delay with hole-cards available at the featured table, according to the PokerStars blog. PokerStars will also be making the broadcast available in English, Spanish, German, and Russian.

PokerStars will be utilizing the talents of former Big Game host Joe Stapleton as well as James Hartigan in the commentators’ booth, with Team PokerStars pro Daniel Negreanu helping the duo call the action –assuming he is eliminated from each tournament.

Last year Galen Hall took down the PCA Main Event after an epic battle with Chris Oliver (chosen by PokerNews.com as the player most likely to get it in light) that saw Hall make one of the toughest lay-downs in poker history (Google Galen Hall folds straight for more info on the hand). The $25k High-Roller event was captured by Will Molson in 2011, after finishing in 2nd place in the same event the previous two years!

Who will walk away the titles in 2012? Well, you can wither read about the following day, or follow the action nearly-live at PokerStars.tv.
