Riesenberg Earns the Fold

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

A player in middle position opened to 1,300 and Jason Riesenberg in the small blind called. The big blind called as well.

The flop came A?7?J? and action checked to the middle position player who bet 2,400 and only Riesenberg called.

Riesenberg checked the turn 5? and his opponent checked back.

On the river 2? Riesenberg led for 6,000. His opponent thought for a moment and then folded.

Schwartz Sends One Out

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

There was a raise to 1,500 in early position, Jared Bleznick called in the cutoff, and Zachary Schwartz three-bet to 6,800 from the button. Both the early position raiser and Bleznick made the call.

All three players checked to the Q?J?J?J? turn, where the early position raiser fired out 5,000. Bleznick quickly got out of the way, while Schwartz made the call.

The A? completed the board, and the early position player moved all-in for his last 7,000. Schwartz wasted little time tossing in a chip to make the call.

The all-in player attempted to muck his hand, pitching it into the center of the table but the dealer quickly tabled his K?9?5?2?, and Schwartz took down the pot with A?K?K?5?.

Zamani Unfazed After Doubling Opponent; Eliminated Shortly After

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Martin Zamani was in a heads-up pot on a flop of A?J?Q? and put his opponent all in for 11,400.

Opponent: A?K?5?5? All in
Martin Zamani: A?Q?4?2?

Zamani was ahead with two pair, but the 10? turn gave his opponent Broadway before the 2? river confirmed his double. Zamani was left short after the hand but was unfazed debated with the player next to him how far ahead he was.

"70-30," the player said.

"50-50," countered Zamani.

Feigning ignorance about poker equities, Robert Cowen commented dryly across the table, "You win or you lose."

Not long after, Zamani's seat was seen empty.

New WSOP Online Poker Site Merges Three US States; 30 Online Bracelet Events Scheduled

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
WSOP.com
WSOP.com

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is making a move that will change the online poker game in the US with the launch of WSOP Online, a new platform that will bring players from three states together.

Poker players in Nevada and New Jersey are already competing against each other on WSOP.com, while those in Michigan have a separate single-state site. But that is changing with the trio of states being merged together on one online poker site ahead of the 2024 WSOP. Pennsylvania's WSOP site will not be part of the shared liquidity deal.

On top of the merger news, the WSOP has announced 30 online bracelet events this summer on the new WSOP Online.

Ha Scores Knockout

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Action folded around to the player in the small blind who just called. Carson Ha raised from the big blind to 2,000 and his opponent called.

The flop came 3?10?Q? and the small blind checked. Again, Ha bet 2,000 and his opponent check-raised to 8,000. Ha called.

The turn 4? saw the small blind lead for approximately 25,000 and Ha went deep into the tank before ultimately raising all-in for slightly more and covering his opponent. The small blind quickly called and cards were revealed:

Small Blind: 10?10?4?2?All in
Carson Ha: A?Q?6?9?

The river K? gave Ha the ace-high flush to beat his opponent's lower flush and eliminate him from the event.
