"redraider" Turns on the Heat
In Level 1 with blinds of 150/300 and an ante of 40, action folded to "Edsebo" who raised to 800 from the button and only "redraider" called from the small blind.
The flop came 
and "redraider" check-raised to 2,410 after "Edsebo" continued for 600. The raise did the trick as "Edsebo" wasted no time in folding, giving the pot to "redraider".

A Look Ahead to the WPT Online Poker Open on partypoker US
Last month, the World Poker Tour (WPT) announced its first U.S.-based online Main Tour event, the $3,500 WPT Online Poker Open Main Event, set for a late December running in New Jersey. That one will also carry a guarantee of $1 million.
The WPT Online Poker Open Main Event will be held Dec. 27-29 on partypoker US Network for players in New Jersey.
The ambitious $1 million guarantee signifies how serious the WPT and partypoker are about making this a premier poker tournament worthy of the WPT name.
“The WPT Online Poker Open brings the most prestigious prize in poker to New Jersey and the partypoker US Network,” said WPT CEO Adam Pliska in a presser. “WPT’s continued pivot toward online will continue with another landmark for regulated online poker in the United States.”
Indeed, the WPT has pivoted into a strong series of online offerings, however, all were offered to the dot-com partypoker player pool, a much larger bunch of customers than the prospective New Jersey pool. Drawing the necessary entries to meet the guarantee will require some effort, and the WPT already announced satellites will be available for as little as $5.
