I always thought it was some music composed specifically for ESPN and the WSoP.

But I heard it as a promo for a golf tournament on The Golf Channel a few weeks back, for the Houston Open and I believe I have heard it elsewhere.

Another (longer) [youtube link](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ka4gQS5MaSU) without voiceovers, but a slightly different version of the song.
