Burlacu Keeps Climbing

Chance Castro
Chance Castro
Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

A player in middle position opened to 2,000 and action folded to Robert Burlacu on the button who called. The small bind folded, but the big blind opted for a call as well.

The flop fell 5♥2♣7♣ and action checked to Burlacu who bet 1,500. Only the big blind called.

On the turn 9♣ the big blind checked, and Burlacu bet again to the tune of 4,800 which the big blind called.

The river A♦ saw the big blind check and Burlacu fired a wager of 15,000. The big blind folded after some personal deliberation.

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is making a move that will change the online poker game in the US with the launch of WSOP Online, a new platform that will bring players from three states together.

Poker players in Nevada and New Jersey are already competing against each other on WSOP.com, while those in Michigan have a separate single-state site. But that is changing with the trio of states being merged together on one online poker site ahead of the 2024 WSOP. Pennsylvania's WSOP site will not be part of the shared liquidity deal.

On top of the merger news, the WSOP has announced 30 online bracelet events this summer on the new WSOP Online.

Chris Moneymaker is giving it another try, opening a poker room in Kentucky, this time in Louisville.

Moneymaker Social Louisville opened Saturday, becoming the second operating brick-and-mortar card room in the state. The other one, a slightly bigger room, is located just down the street, about 15-20 minutes from the University of Louisville campus.

Opening night "went well," poker room manager Christine Russell told PokerNews. As with any new business, there "were some kinks to work out." But as Russell said, players were impressed with the initial experience.

Action picked on the river with Chance Kornuth in early position and Andres Gonzalez on the button involved in a hand, and the board showing 3♥10♦4♣K♥2♣.

Kornuth was first to act and took his time before reaching into his stack to pull out chips. When he finished, he pushed out a 24,000 bet.

It was Gonzalez’s turn to take his time to act after he asked the dealer for the amount of Kornuth’s bet. After a few seconds of deliberation, Gonzalez tossed out a single chip to make the call.

Kornuth tabled AxAx, but they were no good when Gonzalez showed 3♠3♦ for a set of threes.
