Las Vegas Active Shooter Rumors Spark Panic; WSOP Impacted, Negreanu Injured

Level 27 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante
Paris Las Vegas
The scene at Paris Las Vegas

On Saturday night, Las Vegas was rocked by rumors of an active shooter situation at MGM Grand. Fortunately, it proved to be a false alarm, though the ramifications – including panic fueled by misinformation – reverberated throughout the Strip and even impacted the 2022 World Series of Poker (WSOP) at Bally’s and Paris, which just hours before had crowned its Main Event champion.

What appeared to happen was an incident near the MGM was misinterpreted as gunshots, which understandably inspired patrons to flee en masse across the casino floor, including the MGM’s tournament poker area, in route to the nearest exit. There were also rumors, thus far unfounded, that firecrackers may have been set off.

Kolev Moves Among Chip Leaders

Level 26 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 1,250 ante

Demetrios "CarlitosA" Petrou raised to 20,000 from middle position and was called by Boris "GoldBracelet" Kolev in the cutoff.

The flop came {7-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades} and Kolev called Petrou's 20,000 continuation bet.

The turn was the {4-Spades} and Petrou bet 32,000. Kolev moved all in for 168,417 effective and Petrou called.

Demetrios "CarlitosA" Petrou: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Boris "GoldBracelet" Kolev: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

Kolev had his opponent crushed as he had slow played pocket kings. Petrou needed a spade or a jack but it didn't come as the river was the {10-Diamonds} which gave the WSOP bracelet winner a massive stack to try and go for a second.
