Play High-Stakes Cash Games at the WSOP in the King's Lounge

Nível 9 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) consists of 95 bracelet events and is almost entirely tournament-focused, but there are also opportunities to play high-stakes cash games at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas this summer.

Located in the back of the Paris Convention Center, the fabled King's Lounge is lined with high-stakes cash game tables where you may spot Phil Ivey, Patrik Antonius or Daniel Negreanu playing No-Limit Hold'em or Pot-Limit Omaha.

Rast Flops The World

Nível 9 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Brian Rast opened to 20,000 in first position which saw action fold around to John "Johnny World" Hennigan on the button, who three bet to 55,000, which Rast called.

The flop of 2♠K♦6♥ saw Rast check-call a bet of 35,000 from Hennigan.

On the turn A♦, Rast checked over to Hennigan once more who continued for 75,000, which Rast called.

The river peeled off a Q♥ and Rast bet 150,000. "All right, 30 more," said Hennigan who moved all in for 180,000 and Rast called.

John Hennigan: A♣K♥
Brian Rast: 2♣2♥

Rast had flopped a set of deuces against Hennigan's top two pair and the six-time bracelet winner exited while Rast took down the pot.

Nível 9 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Stephen Chidwick raised it up from early position and was called by Shaun Deeb and Yulian Bogdanov in the blinds. The flop came 9♠8♣3♦ and the action checked to Chidwick who bet 17,000. Both players called and the 3♠ paired the board on the turn.

All three players checked this time and the Q♠ completed the board. Deeb and Bogdanov checked one more time and Chidwick slid out a bet of 60,000. Deeb check-raised to 160,000 which got Bogdanov out of the hand. Chidwick used a time bank but eventually laid his hand down as well.

[user339872]

Nível 9 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

There was a three-way all in on Table 668 involving Daniel Negreanu who was the shortest stack. He was up against Daniel Chuprun and Kirk Brown who had both players barely covered.

Daniel Negreanu: J♦10♣
Daniel Chuprun: A♥Q♥
Kirk Brown: K♦8♦

The flop fell K♣Q♣5♠ and Brown took the lead with a pair of kings. Both Negreanu and Chuprun had outs to make the best hand but the 2♠ and 7♦ bricked out as both players headed to the rail.

There's an Early Frontrunner for 2023 WSOP Player of the Year

JonSofen

Nível 10 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

One week into the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) and there's already a clear-cut favorite for Player of the Year.

No, it's isn't Shaun Deeb, Daniel Negreanu, or Phil Hellmuth, although all those three individuals are certainly capable of winning the prestigious award. The poker player we're talking about is Chad Eveslage, and his red hot start this summer is no fluke.

Jozoff Spars With Wilson

Nível 10 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Brock Wilson opened to 27,000 on the button and Michael Jozoff called in the small blind while the big blind folded.

The flop of 5♥7♥5♦ saw action check through to the 9♠ turn where Jozoff bet 55,000 and Wilson called.

On the river 8♣, Jozoff sized down to 35,000 which had Wilson squirming uncomfortably in his seat. After using a time extension, he tossed in the call only to see Jozoff turn over A♥9♥ for nines up which was good for the pot and Wilson mucked.
