- Some sort of new 3-D graphic that displays holecards, community cards, and players' actions

Hopefully they'll put this up (minus hold cards of course) for the spectators in real time. The overhead cam on the board was a good improvement last year and adding some chip stacks and action might make live poker marginally watchable.

I wouldn't count on this.
Tacking on some graphics for board-cards and chip-counts in the edited version that airs later on ESPN is one thing.
Having somebody there trying to do it live just for the screen is an extra person and is probably not worth the effort for them imo.
Maybe it's easier to do this than I think. But somehow it strikes me as being pretty complicated and overly cumbersome to do something like this live for the whole final-table.
