Level 15 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 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.

Viktor Blom raised to 18,000 from early position and was three-bet to 62,000 by Austin Marks from the small blind. Blom asked for a count and called.

Marks shoved on the 7♣K♠3♦ flop and Blom quickly called to put Marks at risk.

Austin Marks: A♥J♦3♥4♠ All in
Viktor Blom: A♦7♦5♥4♥

The 7♥ turn improved Blom to trip sevens and the 4♦ river left Blom with a low for the scoop — eliminating Marks from the tournament.

Phil Ivey limped in from under the gun, Jim Collopy limped behind from the button, Joshua Thibodaux limped from the small blind and Yingui Li checked from the big blind.
