Level 2 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Orpen Kisacikoglu raised to 2,500 in the cutoff and Stephen Chidwick and Jans Arends came along from the blinds.

The flop came 8♥6♠4♥ and Chidwick led out for 2,500. Arends then raised to 10,000, Kisacikgolu reraised to 30,000, and Chidwick got out of the way.

Arends called to see the K♣ turn, where Kisacikgolu bet 70,000. Arends then moved all in for 194,000 and Kisacikoglu called.

Arends showed 7♦5♠ for a flopped straight, while Kisacikoglu had 7♥5♥ for the same straight as the two players were poised to chop the pot. The river, though, was the J♥ and Kisacikoglu improved to a flush to send Arends to the rail.

Level 2 : 500/1,000, 1,000 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 3 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Heads up on a flop of K♦10♥5♥, Nick Petrangelo bet 8,000 from the button and Seth Davies called in the small blind.

The turn was the 4♥ and Petrangelo bet another 14,000. Davies again called and the 2♥ fell on the river.

Petrangelo then bet 30,000, sending Davies deep into the tank. He took nearly two minutes before calling as Petrangelo instantly tossed his cards into the muck, allowing Davies to take the pot without a showdown.
