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.
Players are going on a 30-minute break ahead of a redraw.
Orpen Kisacikoglu raised all in for 310,000, which was called by Alex Foxen in the hijack with K♠Q♣, before Danny Tang three-bet all in for 820,000. Once it folded back to Foxen, he got out of the way to leave the players heads up, with Kisacikoglu at risk.
Orpen Kisacikoglu: 3♠3♦
Danny Tang: 10♠10♦
Kisacikoglu was crushed by the bigger pocket pair of Tang, and once the board ran out 7♣5♦A♥6♦9♦ the pocket tens of Tang remained best, giving him the pot and knocking out Kisacikoglu.
Poker's favorite vlogger is no more. Kayhan Mokri opened to 65,000 in middle position and there was a call in between before Daniel Negreanu three-bet to 225,000 in the big blind.
Mokri four-bet all in and Negreanu pulled out his selfie stick before announcing "Sometimes you gotta gamble," and calling.
Daniel Negreanu: A♣K♣
Kayhan Mokri: K♠K♦
Negreanu was drawing to just an ace and a tablemate told him one of his outs was dead. The board then ran out 4♠10♣5♦7♦J♠ to end the Poker Hall of Famer's run at an eighth bracelet.
Action folded to Sean Winter in the small blind, who raised to 150,000 with J♦7♣, and Orpen Kisacikoglu made the call in the big blind with K♦10♥, leaving just 5,000 chips behind.
Both players checked to showdown after the board ran out Q♦5♥2♥6♣5♦ and Kisacikoglu was delighted to see his king-high was best to double up.
Alex Foxen raised from early position to 60,000 with A♥Q♠, which was called by Patrik Antonius in the cutoff with K♣J♥.
After the Q♣7♠10♠ flop, Foxen, who flopped top pair, bet out 120,000, which Antonius called with his open-ended straight draw.
The turn brought the 6♣ and Antonius again called a bet from Foxen, this time for 305,000.
After the 3♣ hit the river, Foxen bet out 665,000 and having bricked out, Antonius mucked his hand to give Foxen the pot.
