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.

Play has resumed in the €1,100 Estrellas Poker Tour Main Event with the blinds at 3,000/6,000 with a 6,000 big blind ante.
Andrei Boghean opened to 12,000 from middle position and was called by Alessio Isaia in the big blind.
The flop came 8♠4♠4♣ and Isaia check-called an 8,000 bet from Boghean.
Both players checked the 6♦ turn leading to the 2♠ river. Isaia bet 32,000, sending Boghean briefly into the tank.
After about two minutes Boghean flicked in the call and received the bad news when Isaia turned over 7♠5♦ for a turned straight to take down a decent pot.
