Lon McEachern

Lon McEachern (pronounced "Ma-CAIR-en") is a poker analyst who provides play-by-play commentary on "The World Series of Poker". McEachern, who graduated from the University of California Santa Barbara with a bachelor’s degree in communications, is also the host of FOX network's "On the Pole." He has been appearing on ESPN's poker coverage since the late 1990s.

McEachern has been teamed with sportswriter Norman Chad since 2003 on ESPN's poker coverage. McEachern tends to serve as the play-by-play and foil to Chad's semi-serious poker analyst. As noted on the show, an interesting anagram of his name is, "He cancel Norm".

In the past, McEachern has also hosted ESPN's K-1 kickboxing, martial arts, Scrabble and billiards coverage, among other sports. He has also hosted events for the now defunct PRIDE Fighting Championships [http://www.boxingscene.com/mma/?m=show&id=698 "Disastrous Fight Results at Pride 33"] , BoxingScene.com] . McEachern tends to cover "fringe" sports.

Currently, Lon is providing commentary for "Strikeforce on NBC" with Ken Shamrock [http://www.strikeforceusa.net/nbc/ "Strikeforce on NBC"] , Strikeforce.net] .
