Weissman Gets Paid

Level 6 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Picking up the action on the river, Joey Weissman from the cutoff was involved in a hand with Aliaksei Boika in the big blind.

With the board reading 2610KQ, Boika checked to Weissman, who bet 115,000 into a pot of roughly 95,000. Boika used a time extension as he pondered his decision, eventually opting for a call. He mucked, however, after Weissman tabled KQ for top two pair.

New WSOP Online Poker Site Merges Three US States; 30 Online Bracelet Events Scheduled

Level 6 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
WSOP.com
WSOP.com

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.

Level 7 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Kahle Burns
Kahle Burns

All of the chips went in the middle before the flop and Kahle Burns was at risk for his last 109,000 against Isaac Haxton.

Kahle Burns: KK All in
Isaac Haxton: QQ

The J98 flop gave Haxton a gutshot straight draw to go along with his pair of queens but the 8 turn and A river were safe as Burns secured the double.

Boivin Forces Folds

Level 7 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

John Hennigan opened to 17,000 from middle position and was called by Justin Bonomo on the button. Action then folded to Thomas Boivin in the big blind. He decided to wager it all, pushing his stack of 367,000 into the middle. Hennigan quickly got out of the way but Bonomo did not immediately fold. After some thought, however, he decided against a call and mucked his cards.
