Plenty of Extras Being Given Away at This Year's WSOP

Level 6 : 150/300, 0 ante

The buzz inside the walls of the Rio extends beyond just the tournaments on the 2013 World Series of Poker schedule. Online poker in Nevada is a very, very hot topic right now, and WSOP.com is making a lot of noise.

While the site has yet to launch, you can head to the Lambada Room of the Rio or look for one of the beautiful and friendly WSOP.com ladies walking the hallways to sign up for a free, personal WSOP.com online poker account. This is a great way to get a jump on the site's registration, and plenty of people have already taken this opportunity.

What's more is that the WSOP will be hosting daily raffles for everyone that has taken the time to register for WSOP.com at the Rio. What can you win? Plenty of fantastic prizes including 36 WSOP seats!

Players 21 years of age and older who sign up for a WSOP.com account will automatically be entered into the “36-Seat Giveaway” where a randomly-selected winner will win a seat into the next day’s first WSOP gold bracelet event. One of the events eligible in this promotion is the $111,111 One Drop High Roller No-Limit Hold’em tournament that is expected to feature a $10,000,000 prize pool and allow you to play poker with the biggest names in the game. In total, $182,333 in WSOP seats, including a seat to the WSOP Main Event, are being given away during this one-of-a-kind WSOP.com promotion.

In addition to the 36-Seat Giveaway, a “Hot Seat” promotion will allow any player who signs up for a WSOP.com online account and wears their WSOP.com patch on their chest at the table while playing an event to be randomly selected to receive 500 bonus dollars deposited directly into their WSOP.com online account once the site has received all regulatory approvals and launches.

With 62 WSOP gold bracelet events and three winners promised for the Main Event, this promotion includes $32,000 worth of value to those participating.

Down To Gold

Level 7 : 200/400, 0 ante

Tables are breaking and now the event is contained within the Gold section of the Brasilia. We currently have 169 players remaining.

Fortin Takes a Big Pot

Level 7 : 200/400, 0 ante

Action folded to the player on the button who raised to 1,400. The small blind folded but Jean-Nicholas Fortin, the big blind reraised to 4,000. The button called and we saw a {5-Hearts}{k-Spades}{7-Clubs} flop.

Fortin led for 3,400 and the button called. Fortin checked called 4,500 on the {k-Clubs} turn. The {q-Clubs} river saw Fortin check again and the button checked behind. Fortin was not happy with the check behind as he held {q-Spades}{q-Hearts} for a rivered full house. The player on the button mucked his hand but did mention he had a king.

Ladies Are Good to Shaw

Level 7 : 200/400, 0 ante

We came to the action with Ed Shaw moving all in from middle position. The player in the cutoff also moved in for a bit more. It folded back around to Rupert Elder who called.

Elder: {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Shaw: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Cutoff: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}

Shaw, after pleading for the ladies to hold up one time, was happy when the board came {4-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}.

Eights Beat Aces

Level 7 : 200/400, 0 ante
Amnon Filippi
Amnon Filippi

Amnon Filippi and his opponent were all in preflop and Filippi had his opponent crushed.

Filippi: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Opponent: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}

It looked good for Filippi to double but it was not to be as his opponent flopped a set of 8's with the board {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades}. No help on the turn {3-Spades} or river {10-Diamonds}. Filippi was gone as his chair fell over and mumbled under his breath talking about the bad beat.
