Final Paris Stacks Migrating to Bally's

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

The final tables of the Main Event in Paris have now broken to begin the last of the great migration over to Bally's.

Torgersen Delivers Brutal Cooler to Marini in Huge Pot

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

After a raise to 4,500 preflop from Anthony Marini, Ryan Torgersen three-bet to 16,000 and Marini called.

The flop was {k-Clubs}{5-Spades}{4-Spades} and Marini led out for 25,000 and Torgersen just called.

But on the turn, when Marini led out again for 78,000, Torgersen shipped it over the top of him for around 90,000 more. After a few seconds, Marini made the call and the cards were tabled.

Ryan Torgersen: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Anthony Marini: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Marini's heart sank as he realized he was way behind in this massive pot and that only another king could save him, but the river {2-Diamonds} was a complete brick and Torgeson scored a huge double and is now in contention for the chip lead.

Forte Sends Fast To The Rail

The action was picked up when Dietrich Fast moved all in for his last 19,000 from the big blind after Klyde Forte opened the button to 3,000. Forte called and action was heads up with Fast at risk.

Dietrich Fast: {a-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}
Klyde Forte: {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

On the flop of {k-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{4-Hearts} Fast was in the lead and looked good for a double until the turn came the {10-Clubs} and river {7-Clubs}, eliminating Fast from the tournament.

Spragg Shoves on Lybaert

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

On a flop {5-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, Benjamin Spragg checked to Bart Lybaert, who bet 3,000 and Spragg tanked a minute before calling.

The {a-Diamonds} brought no betting action and a {3-Spades} hit the river. Spragg jammed for 38,500 and Lybaert didn't take long to fold, showing an {a-Hearts}. Spragg flipped over {5-Diamonds}{2-Spades} for two pair before grabbing the pot.

Kenney's Cheeky Play Has Him Up to 600,000

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Bryn Kenney
Bryn Kenney

The under-the-gun player opened to 3,000 and Bryn Kenney flatted from the small blind.

The flop came {q-Spades}{5-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and the initial aggressor continued for 2,500. Kenney called.

Both players would tap the table on the {4-Spades} turn.

The river brought the {2-Spades} and Kenney fired 9,500. His opponent hesitated for about 30 seconds, looked at Kenney, and tossed in a couple of red chips to make the call.

Kenney flipped over {a-Clubs}{k-Spades} to take down the pot as a few players at the table confirmed that Kenney did, in fact, flat ace-king.

Kenney is now one of the bigger stacks in the tournament and possibly the chip leader as he's progressed to 600,000.

Full House Over Full House for Kang

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

According to the table, Yoo Sin Kang opened and got called by Oleg Simanovsky before a third player raised to 7,500, which was called by Kang and Simanovsky.

All the money went in the middle on a flop {5-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, with Kang being at risk against Simanovsky while the third player folded pocket queens.

Simanovsky , with {3-Clubs}{3-Hearts} in his hands, had hit a set while Kang held {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and was in terrible shape for his tournament's life.

However, the rest of the board gave the {5-Hearts} and the {5-Diamonds} to bring trips on the board and give a higher full house to Kang as well as the double up.

The schedule for the 18th season of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Circuit was released on Wednesday and is comprised of 25 stops with 10 additional stops expected to be announced in the future. The new season will kick off immediately after the 2020 WSOP with a stop at Choctaw Casino Resort in Durant, Oklahoma from July 20-31.

“The World Series of Poker is back with the Circuit returning in just short of a month,” said WSOP Senior Vice President and Executive Director Ty Stewart. “With record-breaking attendance so far this summer, we expect a huge response to the full-scale return of our regional mid-stakes tour.”

Most WSOP Circuit stops will begin on Thursdays, with the four-day Main Events beginning on the second Friday of the tournament. Each stop is encouraged to add Seniors and Ladies events, where the winners will qualify to participate in the “Tournament of Champions” in Las Vegas. Each stop will offer at least a dozen official gold ring events starting as low as $250 with a capstone $1,700 buy-in Main Event.

Additionally, there will be monthly online circuit events scheduled for players on WSOP.com.

The prestigious $1 million freeroll will return featuring a similar format as the 2021-22 season. Beginning with the Choctaw Circuit Event, any official gold ring winners from either the live or online circuit events through May 2023, will qualify for the invitation-only “Tournament of Champions” event during the 2023 WSOP tournament in Las Vegas.
