Level 34 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

On a heads-up flop of A♥3♠10♦, Olegs Buiko checked to Joseph Couden who bet 1,050,000. Buiko thought for a few seconds before he made the call, sending the two players to the turn 4♠.

Buiko checked again, Couden quickly announced he was all in, and Buiko called it off, putting himself at risk.

Olegs Buiko: K♣K♥Q♠6♠ All in
Joseph Couden: A♦10♠7♣6♦

Couden was ahead with his top two-pair, but he still needed to fade a lot of outs from Buiko.

Unfortunately for Couden, the river was the J♣ to give Buiko the gutshot straight to win the huge pot for a big double.

Player	Chips	Progress
Olegs Buiko	12,500,000 6,000,000	6,000,000
Joseph Couden	8,900,000 5,900,000	5,900,000

Vasu Amarapu: A♠A♣7♥3♥ All in
Alen Bakovic: K♠K♥J♦2♥

Level 34 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Here's a name you'd better start learning the rest of the summer — Darius Samual. That isn't a household name in poker yet, but it will be soon.

The poker player from England entered the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) with less than $100,000 in live tournament cashes, according to The Hendon Mob. Twelve days into the series, there's an argument to be made that he's one of a few "players to beat" regarding WSOP Player of the Year.

And, here's what's really crazy — Samual gambled half his poker bankroll in one event just to get to this point.

Level 34 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 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.
