Aces for Anderson

Nível 4 : 200/300, 300 ante

A player raised to 700 from the hijack, and Bemidji, Minnesota native Eric Anderson three-bet to 1,900 from the cutoff. The hijack confirmed the amount, then tossed in a call.

The hijack checked a {9-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{k-Hearts} flop over to Anderson, who bet 3,000. His opponent thought briefly before folding, and Anderson slowly turned over {a-Clubs}{a-Spades} before taking down the pot.

Wilson Rips the Turn

Nível 4 : 200/300, 300 ante

Paul Bishop, a table games dealer from the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, limped in from under-the-gun, and the lojack raised to 1,300. The cutoff called, as did Bishop.

Bishop checked a {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} flop, and the lojack bet 3,000. The cutoff called, and Bishop check-raised all in for 35,000. The lojack called off his last 28,700, and the cutoff folded.

Paul Bishop: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}

Bishop's set of nines would improve to a full house after a {5-Spades} turn and {10-Diamonds} river, and he scooped in the massive pot and eliminated his opponent.

From under-the-gun, Phill Duggan, a WSOP Circuit dealer, bet 6,000 into a pot of around 10,000 on a {5-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} board, only to met with a raise to 12,000 from an opponent on the button. Duggan tossed in a call.

Duggan checked the {4-Hearts} river over to the button, who bet 15,000. Duggan didn't take long to make the call.

The button tabled {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}, but Duggan's {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} rivered two pair and earned him the pot.

Trenholm's Fours Score a Pot

Nível 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

A player in the lojack checked a {2-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} flop over to PokerNews Live Reporter Brandyn Trenholm on the button, who tossed in a bet of 3,000 into a pot of around 7,000. His opponent called.

The {9-Clubs} fell on the turn, and the lojack checked. Trenholm bet 3,000, and his opponent called again.

The lojack checked the {q-Diamonds} river, and Trenholm sighed and said, "That's probably the worst card in the deck for me," before checking back.

The lojack tabled {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for a busted draw, and Trenholm won with his {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}.

DraftKings Software Engineer Asad Abdullah Enters The WSOP For The First Time Ever

Nível 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

The 50th Annual World Series of Poker (WSOP) kicks off today with $500 buy-in Event #1: Casino Employees Event. The tournament is open to those who either work in casinos or in the gaming industry, and thanks to their sportsbook in New Jersey, DraftKings personnel are permitted to play.

They’ll be well represented in their first year of eligibility as a team of six players traveled from the East Coast to compete for the summer’s first bracelet. PokerNews caught up with each DraftKings employee – one of which is already a WSOP bracelet winner – talk about the opening event of the 2019 WSOP.

Asad Abdullah
Age: 25
DraftKings Position: Software Engineer

Having worked at DraftKings for a little under a year and a half, the Casino Employees event will be Asad Abdullah’s first-ever WSOP tournament.

“I’m pretty excited to play in the Casino Employee event,” said Abdullah, who graduated from California State University Northridge with a bachelors in Computer Science. “I do frequently play $1-$2 NLHE and occasionally $2-$5 NLHE, mostly at Chaser’s Poker Room in New Hampshire and Twin River Casino in Rhode Island. I will also venture a little further out and play at Foxwoods on occasion. I also plan on spending a good amount of time at the Encore in Boston once it opens up.”

According to Abdullah, who enjoys both board and video games, he first learned poker with some childhood friends.

“We didn’t really play for money, just tried to see who could build up the biggest stack,” he explained. “I started actually learning and understanding poker strategy about a year ago … I read a bunch of books, joined some training sites and really started to understand poker from a strategic point of view, all while discussing what I’d learnt with [the DraftKings team].”

So aside from himself, which DraftKings team member does he expect to last the longest?

“This is a tough question. I think I’d have to go with Steve Rose,” he said. “He is a very solid player and has the patience and discipline to make a deep run in this event.”
