Cohen is the Shove King

Kirk Brown

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

On a heads-up turn of A♦3♠Q♥J♣, there was around 320,000 in the middle when Caleb King checked to Nir Cohen, who bet 205,000.

After some thought, King made the call and the two continued to the river 2♦. King checked once more to Nohen who then moved all in for 670,000, which sent King into the tank.

After close to a minute of rechecking his cards and eyeballing Cohen, King decided to lay it down and the pot was pushed to Cohen.

On a flop of J♦5♣7♦, John Richards had fired 150,000 and been shoved on by Ambul Almagableh for over 700,000. After some time in the tank, Richards made the call.

Abdul Almagableh: J♠J♣10♣3♣ All in
John Richards: A♥A♦7♣4♣

Almagableh had flopped top set and held on as the runout of Q♥10♠ kept him in the lead.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

On a heads-up flop of 8♠3♠J♠, Cuba Levenberry potted it into chip leader Daniel Swartz who responded by moving all in, which Levenberry quickly called to put himself at risk.

Cuba Levenberry: A♠Q♠8♦5♦
Daniel Swartz: Q♦7♥3♦3♥

Levenberry was very much in the lead with his flopped nut flush, but still had to dodge a board pairing as Swartz held bottom set of threes. Fortunately for him, the runout came 10♠7♣ to win the pot for the double.

Mike Dentale was seen exiting the table with his cards already in the muck on the 4♥5♠7♥9♦7♣ board. Grzegorz Derkowski cards were still face up showing the A♠10♠6♣3♥.

"Aces double suited lose to ace-ten-six-three," Dentale was caught saying on his way out.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

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.
