The Oracle Red Bull Formula One racing team released a promotional video ahead of November’s Las Vegas Grand Prix and it's an action-packed preview of what F1 has to offer when it invades the Strip this fall.
Readers might remember hearing about the race car tearing through the Wynn Las Vegas last November. It appears that was part of the production for Red Bull's epic race through Las Vegas.
Ben Ludlow raised to 2,200 from the cutoff and Andrew Moreno called on the button.
The dealer fanned out the K♥J♥4♣ flop and Ludlow bet 1,500. Moreno called.
The A♣ landed on the turn and Ludlow continued for 6,000. Moreno called.
The A♥ fell on the river and Ludlow checked. Moreno jammed with the covering stack and Ludlow had a decision for his remaining stack of about 20,500. Ludlow deliberated for some time and ultimately called.
Moreno tabled J♠J♣ for jacks full of aces, and Ludlow's K♦10♣ went into the muck as he made his exit from the table.
Via an American Idol style competition, Nikki Limo and Lily Newhouse were chosen as the first PokerStars Big Game "loose cannons" in over a decade. As such, they will receive a $50,000 stake to compete in a high-stakes cash game against pros and entertaining recreational players.
The contest began on Sunday from the PokerStars North American Poker Tour (NAPT) with a free qualifier shootout poker tournament at Resorts World in Las Vegas. Each table winner — 20 players — then advanced to an intense interview process on Monday judged by Nadya Magnus, Joe Stapleton, and James Hartigan.
Magnus was one of the original loose cannons when the popular show first aired in 2010-2011. She won over $60,000 on that day, her first introduction to televised poker. Stapleton and Hartigan will commentate on the show when it airs in 2024. Filming will take place at Resorts World this week, however.
The purpose of the audition phase was to find the two individuals who best exemplify a true loose cannon — is at least a somewhat competent poker player, would benefit greatly from winning a significant amount in the game, and has a colorful personality.
