There were three players that saw a {3-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop for 1,500 a piece and action was checked to Gershon "jets613" Distenfeld who fired out 2,050 on the button.

James "pokercpa" Hoeppner folded from the small blind while John "Slapshot1085" Forlenza called from the hijack, bring the {10-Clubs} turn.

Forlenza check-called the 3,900 bet from Distenfeld and then did the same after Distenfeld jammed for 4,886 once the {2-Spades} completed the board on the river.

Gershon "jets613" Distenfeld: {k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
John "Slapshot1085" Forlenza: {j-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

Pahuja Hits Running Spades to Flush "Dhaus"

Level 7 : 100/200, 25 ante
Vinny Pahuja
Vinny Pahuja

A series of preflop raises saw Vinny "brownmagic" Pahuja jam his 14,940 stack in the middle from the big blind and "Dhaus" called off their 13,615 stack on the button.

"Dhaus": {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Vinny "brownmagic" Pahuja: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

Both players held the same hands with the only difference being the suits and the {10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop gave them each a backdoor flush draw.

The {9-Spades} paired the board on the turn but it also gave Pahuja the nut flush draw and unfortunately for "Dhaus", the {7-Spades} river gave Pahuja the nuts.

Set of Aces Over Set of Kings

Level 7 : 100/200, 25 ante

Christopher "Basile28" Basile three-bet to 1,760 from the button over a raise to 480. James "aggie69" Agate four-bet all in for 21,665, Basile called with his smaller stack.

It was a cooler as Agate had the {k-Spades}{k-Clubs} vs the {a-Hearts}{a-Spades} of Basile.

The flop included an ace as it came the [9s9haad] the turn was the {j-Clubs} and the river an extra little needle as the {k-Hearts} came off to give Agate a set of kings, the losing hand.

"AlexanderMaz": {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
Ye "yuan365" Yuan: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Through August 3rd, the World Series of Poker (WSOP) will begin hosting daily online gold bracelet events on WSOP.com. There will be 33 bracelets awarded over 32 days, and PokerNews is excited to announce we’ll not only be live reporting all the action but also offering poker fans daily live streams.

Every day, viewers at home will have access to watching the biggest names hunt for bracelets. In conjunction with PokerNews, Jeff Platt will host early action from each tournament at twitch.tv/jeffplatt, starting around the money bubble each day and taking players all the way to the final table.

“I am thrilled to team up with PokerNews to present coverage of the 2021 WSOP Online,” said Platt, who is a co-host of the PokerNews Podcast. “We learned last year that the prestige of bracelet events draws an incredibly passionate audience on Twitch. I can’t wait to interact with that audience again as we crown poker’s newest champions.”

After Platt’s streams, coverage will then shift to twitch.tv/pokernews where PokerNews’ own Jesse Fullen will cover final table action alongside a rotating cast of co-hosts including Alec Torelli, Ryan Laplante, Jesse Sylvia, KL Cleeton, Rampage Poker, and Jaman Burton, among others. The streams will also be featured on YouTube and Facebook.

“WSOP Online will certainly be the biggest online series of the year in the USA. We’re thrilled PokerNews has again stepped up to provide fans a way to follow the action,” said Ty Stewart, Executive Director of the WSOP. “Jeff Platt’s personal streams were a highlight of last year’s online series and we have no doubt the PokerNews final table streams will be an entertaining watch.”
