WSOP Finalizes $500 Million Sale to GGPoker Parent Company

Level 12 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Caesars Entertainment has finalized the $500 million sale of the biggest brand in poker to GGPoker's parent company, according to an announcement in late October.

Back in August, Caesars Entertainment shocked the poker world when it announced that it would be selling World Series of Poker (WSOP) to NSUS Group Inc, a leading investment group and operator GGPoker. The deal was solidified Tuesday and includes a $250 million cash transaction and a $250 million promissory note due in five years.

Though the WSOP sale marks a shakeup in the industry, poker players can still expect the summer WSOP to be held in Las Vegas for the next 20 years. Additionally, poker rooms at Caesars properties will continue to feature WSOP branding.

Level 13 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Action folded to Jared Bleznick in the cutoff, and he raised all in for 315,000. It then folded to the small blind Juan Pardo who three-bet all in for his stack of 1,700,000, and Saya Ono in the big called her stack of 685,000.

Jared Bleznick: Q♥9♠ All in
Saya Ono: K♥J♦ All in
Juan Pardo: A♠K♣

Pardo had Big Slick looking to score a double knockout, but once the board ran out 3♦4♠2♣9♣7♣ it was Bleznick with the best hand, taking the main pot with his pair of nines to triple up. Pardo took the smaller side pot with his ace-king high, eliminating Ono.

Level 13 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Juan Pardo opened the action with a raise to 80,000 from the hijack, which was called by Michael Moncek in the cutoff, and the big blind Jared Bleznick.

The flop came 4♦7♦J♥ and after Bleznick checked, Pardo bet out 100,000, before Moncek raised to 375,000. Bleznick got out of the way, and Pardo decided to three-bet to 700,000. Moncek then four-bet all in for Pardo's stack of 2,100,000, and Pardo made the call to put himself at risk.

Juan Pardo: A♠A♣ All in
Michael Moncek: K♦J♦

Moncek flopped top pair and a flush draw, but the pocket aces of Pardo were still in front. That was only momentarily, as the K♥ on the turn put Moncek ahead with two pair. The 2♥ on the river gave Moncek the massive pot with his two pair, successfully cracking the aces of Pardo, and sending him to the rail in brutal fashion.
