What if someone was playing at a WPT final table or a WSOP televised event and didn't want to show their hole cards to the camera? Please only answer if you have concrete information to share.
It's not as silly a question as it sounds because I'm sure there are plenty of players who aren't exactly thrilled about exposing their poker strategies and tactics to anyone who might be watching (i.e. future opponents) by revealing what they have in the hole.

I often wondered that my self.I guess they eventually have to look at their hole cards so the camera is gonna get them one way or another.But then what if they are fed up and play the hand blind and not look at their hole cards makes you wonder

it's part of the agreement to play in the world poker tour. A lot of the pros hate it, and it is why some of them left the tour --- also they have a lawsuit against the WPT for their violations of the sherman antitrust act

When you play in a tournament on TV you are obligated to show your cards from by tournament rules. If you don't you can't play.

you're fired! Donald Trump owns the show. the directors assistant would inform you of this. the prod user might say "if you want air time and you don't want to show your cards you need to make a ruckus something like ''mike the mouth''
