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

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 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.

Harwood Shoves the Flop

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

We don't know the exact action, but we saw Loni Harwood and Andrew Brokos heads up on a flop of {10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{5-Spades}. When we got there, Brokos had a bet of 12,800 out there, but he was the one in the tank, as Harwood had shoved all in for her last 43,000. Brokos spent about 90 seconds in the tank before folding his hand, dropping him down to 35,000.

On the other hand, Harwood, who is mainly known for her play in no-limit hold'em on the WSOP Circuit, is up to 61,000.

Winning all the Green

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

Barry Greenstein has been able to take down two pots on the turn in succession, to move to over 100,000 in chips.

In the first hand, Greenstein opened to 6,000 from utg+1, and was called by Marco Johnson in the cut-off. The flop came down {6-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{A-Hearts}, as Greenstein threw out a continuation bet of 9,000. Johnson thought about his decision for about a minute, before folding.

In the very next hand, Greenstein again opened to 6,000, and was called by Allan Le in middle position. {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} was the flop, and Greenstein’s successive continuation bet of 9,000 was enough to take down the pot.

Bronshtein Gets Three Quarters

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

We saw Yuval Bronshtein stand up and lean over his chair, so we went to go check out what was going on at his table. We saw that Bronshtein had just committed all his chips preflop holding a big hand: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{q-Clubs}. He was up against the {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{6-Spades} of Kirill Gerasimov, and the board ran down {5-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}. Bronshtein's aces took the high while both players shared the low with ace-deuce.

This gave Bronshtein 3/4 the pot, which upped his stack to 60,500, while Gerasimov dropped to 65,000.

Graham's River

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

The player under the gun opened to 4,500, and was called by Jarred Graham in the blinds, as everyone else folded in between. The flop came down {Q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}, as Graham check-called a continuation bet of 5,800, before both players checked the {5-Diamonds} on the turn. With the {9-Hearts} completing the board, Graham thought for a moment, before sliding out a bet of 15,000. His opponent asked how much it was, but decided to fold instead.

Sands Storming up the Leader Board

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

We missed how all the money was committed into the pot, but found David Sands up against two opponents, and having them both covered.

Sands: {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{K-Spades}
Opponent #1: {2-Spades}{a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Opponent #2: {K-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}

The board ran out {6-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{A-Spades}{9-Spades}{A-Clubs}, to see Sands scoop the pot, sending two players to the rail, as he moves above 100,000 in chips.
