Andrey Zhigalov: XxXx/3x2x4x7x/Xx
Scott Seiver: XxXx/Jx6xAxJx - folded on sixth street
Dylan Weisman: XxXx/8x7x2x - folded on fifth street

"Only two?" Ren Lin said after asking how many bracelets Scott Seiver has won this WSOP.

"Might be three. Ask again in a few days," Seiver replied.

"Ask again tomorrow. I know how Scott keeps winning these tournaments, and it's not about what he's doing. It's what everyone else isn't doing. I've seen the things he does, and it's not that impressive," Jared Bleznick added.

Seiver then called a bet on fourth street from Andrey Zhigalov, while Dylan Weisman also came along. Zhigalov bet again on fifth, Seiver called, and Weisman folded.

Zhigalov fired out another bet on sixth and Seiver folded this time.

"How did you get so many chips? You're terrible. Are you lucky like me" Lin joked with Seiver after the hand.

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

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Sandra Barbour

Level 14

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.
