The 2015 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event Champion has three gold charms and only two wrists after winning Event #14: $3,200 No Limit Hold’em High Roller during the 2020 WSOP Online Series.

It’s a beautiful problem to have.

When you have waded through 6,420 players to win the most prestigious poker tournament in the world, everything else must feel like Boring Sponge on an oyster, but McKeehen would have enjoyed this one.

The event attracted 496-entrants, and McKeehen picked up $352,985 for the win after beating Frank ‘thewholefunk’ Funaro in heads-up action. Roland ‘prngls12’ Israelashvili finished third. The man with the unenviable claim of making the most WSOP cashes (rings/bracelets) without winning a bracelet, had only ventured this far once before, finishing third in the 2013 Little One for One Drop event.

Here are the results.

Guy ‘Philaak’ Dunlap Wins Event #15: $1,000 PLO 8-Max High Roller

Guy ‘Philaak’ Dunlap took down the Pot Limit Omaha (PLO) High Roller. The $1,000 investment was considerably lower than the $3,200 McKeehen paid to secure his payday, but $133,780 will do nicely.

Dunlap had previously finished in the money in nine live WSOP bracelet events before winning this one. The deepest he had ever mined came in 2013, ending 35/3164 in a $1,000 No Limit Hold’em event.

Bracelet winners Matt ‘jacksup’ Matris and Anthony ‘hehe’ Zinno also made the final table, as you can see, below.

Here are the results.

Two other high rollers who went deeper than a set of coal tongs in a burning hot fire were Calvin Anderson (11th) and Erik Seidel (60th).

As the partypoker High Roller Club enters its final day, a Slovenian who is yet to see his name in diamond-studded headlines is the likeliest to win the orioles when all is said and done.

Rok Gostisa entered the penultimate day with a 210-point over Artur Martirosian and a 368-point lead over the one-time leader Alex Foxen. After cashing in three of the four games on Tuesday night, Gostisa’s lead is now 380 points.

Gostisa’s silky skills and close alliance to the Poker Gods saw him rise through Tuesday’s ranks like a virus, finishing fourth in the $5k, sixth in the $1k, and sixth in the $530. Martirosian, Foxen, Wiktor Malinowski and Ali Imsirovic all failed to gain any traction in the aesthetic realm of the High Roller leaderboard.

Jonathan Van Fleet was the biggest winner on the night, taking down the 31-entrant $5k event for $71,300. Vyacheslav Buldygin won the $2.5k for $33,750, Roberto Romanello won the $1k for $20,400.01, and Damian Zurek binked $10,576.08 for winning the $530 Knockout.

One night of action remains.

When it comes to the World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC), there are few more fearsome denizens than Michael Lech, particularly when hunting in international waters.

Lech has won eight gold rings competing in the WSOPC, with five of them coming in different countries (St. Maartens, Italy, France, Mexico and the USA). A bracelet has since joined that opulent collection.

It’s been an incredible series for Lech who has finished in the money (ITM) in seven of the first 13 events, including the win in the High Roller. Lech, competing as ‘miguelfiesta’, beat William “SlaweelRyam’ Romaine in heads-up action to win his sliver of gold. Romaine finished 61st in last years WSOP Main Event.

It’s not the first time that Lech has been heads-up for a bracelet. In 2016 he finished runner-up to Hung Le with the No Limit Hold’em Crazy Eights bracelet sitting on the table. There were 6,761-entrants in that one.

Final tables are rarely places for the poor, and the paltry and this one was no different. Conor Drinan won five Spring Championships of Online Poker (SCOOP) titles in the springtime, and Drinan finished sixth in this one.

A certain Megan Milburn finished eighth. You may remember that Mike ‘The Mouth” Matusow vowed to do a whole host of depraved and disgusting things to her after he accused her of slow-rolling him in a previous event.

It hasn’t affected her stride one bit.

Here are the final table results.

Daniel Negreanu finished 27th.

Another beguiling bonanza of a GGPoker report courtesy of having a few moments to spare as the Yerba Mate tea sits heavy in the strainer and Steve O’Dwyer had a better weekend than most.

O’Dwyer has distinguished gluttony when it comes to hogging live tournament wins, and he’s been transferred his jug of luck and skill to the online realm equally successfully in the past 12-months.

The American star picked up two impressive wins at GGPoker over the weekend. Both tournaments were $5k events, and both had field sizes that exceeded the usual intimate get together you typically see in the high stakes games online.

O’Dwyer conquered fields of 111 and 133 entrants to collect a combined haul of $259,226.12.

While the No-Limit Hold’em saw bumper fields, the Short-Deck didn’t. There were two on the weekend at the $10k price point, and Ihor Shkiliaruk won them both (although the fields were 4 and 6 respectively, and 50% of the buy-ins in the field of 6 were Skiliaruk’s)

Outside of the double winners, Wiktor Malinowski took down a $10k, and Joao Vieira and Mikita Badziakouski collected wins in $5k events.

As billions of people around the globe gathered in their churches to pray to God, high stakes online poker players assembled in the partypoker cathedral to pray to the Poker Gods.

As The High Roller Club enters its final stretch (it ends on Jul 16), Rok Gostisa is the favourite to pick up the extra $30,000 after another shift where his primary opponents felt nothing but the shaft.

Gostisa finished runner-up to Michael Addamo in the $25,500 Main Event, extending his lead over Artur Martirosian to 210 points, and 368 points further down the knitting needle than Alex Foxen.

The Slovenian won’t lose this based on a hiccup. The only way this goes down without the name of ‘Rok Gostisa’ engraved in the silverware is if Martirosian or Foxen can put in a tablecloth tugging performance on Tue and Thu night. Of the top five, only Ali Imsirovic picked up any points on Sunday, and the former Poker Masters winner is a long way back in the fifth position.

Other Sunday winners include Pascal Lefrancois picking up the win in the $10k. Laszlo Bujtas picking Fedor Holz apart after the pair agreed upon a deal in the final duel of the $5k, and a victory for Tuen Mulder in the $530.

Live tournament series’ progenitor, the World Series of Poker (WSOP) continued to bathe in its warm, milky online existence over the weekend. We have two events to catch up and, and high rollers appeared in them both.

Raman “Acrogum” Afanasenka denied Chance “BingShui” Kornuth the opportunity to win his third bracelet, and become the only player to win two online bracelet events after Kornuth took down the $3,200 No Limit Hold’em High Roller in 2018.

The Belarusian wounded Kornuth grievously during the heads-up encounter to decide the winner of Event #11: $500 No Limit Hold’em Turbo DeepStack 6-Handed. 1,691 entrants attempted to nick the bracelet, and all of them bar one failed throughout a searing seven-hour sauna of a session.

Kornuth wasn’t the only bracelet winner at the final table. Brett Apter beat 917-entrants to win a $1,500 No Limit Hold’em Shootout event for $238,824 last year. David Prociak won a 521-entrant $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8-or-Better event for $156,546 in 2016. The final table also housed Erica Lindgren, who finished 3/2778 in a $1,500 No Limit Hold’em game in 2007.

Afanasenka is not known for his poker pomposity, but he did win a 493-entrant $550 No Limit Hold’em event during the 2018 Wynn Summer Classic beating Leo Margets, heads-up.

Here are the results.

Results

  1. Raman “Acrogum” Afanasenka – $128,601
  2. Chance “BingShui” Kornuth – $79,291
  3. Brett “Metanemesis” Apter – $57,071
  4. David “Twizzlers” Prociak – $41,472
  5. Nerraj “nee0903” Nayak – $30,514
  6. Erica “Huckcheevers’ Lindgren – $22,676

Event #12: $500 The BIG 500 No Limit Hold’em

What’s the antidote to finishing third from 13,109 entrants in the Colossus? Returning the following year to win a bracelet in the $500 The BIG 500 No Limit Hold’em.

Usually, when you pop over to Whole Foods for a ravishing, you end up with a wallet containing nothing but a few errant pubes. Not so, for Depaulo, who nipped out for an Acai bowl, and ended up spending the next half of the day winning the BIG 500 bracelet from the parking lot.

Depaulo defeated the British pro, Jack Salter, heads-up, for the title. Salter won a $1k at the Wynn Spring Classic before the pandemic hit.

The BIG 500 attracted 2,427 tentative and tyrannical entrants.

Here are the results.

Results

  1. Ryan “joeyisamush” Depaulo – $159,563
  2. Jack “EarlGrey” Salter – $98,621

There are no illustrations in this piece. If there were, I would plump for the pop-up book style and would have to choose the largest pipe cleaner in the packet for the mouth of one Ron “McDaddy15” McMillen.

The 70-year-old Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) reg, had never played online before. Still, stick a man who loves poker in the middle of a pandemic preventing him from exchanging spit, errant eyebrow hair, and stale body odour, and communion with the wizards will have to do.

For ten-hours McMillen found the purity of poker necessary to conquer a field of 1,026 entrants; taking down the $188,214 first prize in Event #9: $1,000 No Limit Hold’em 6-Max, after defeating Ryan “Im.Sorry’Torgersen” Torgersen, heads-up (and that’s no mean feat as you will soon learn).

It was one of those moments that drives a lump into the throat of the hardened ‘online poker bracelets should not happen brigade’, and captured beautifully on video.

McMillen has come close to winning live bracelets twice. In 2014, he finished 12/2086 in a $1,500 No Limit Hold’em event, and 10/1436 in the $1,000 No Limit Hold’em Hyper Turbo in 2015.

Here are the results.

Results

  1. Ron “McDaddy15” McMillen – $188,214
  2. Ryan “Im.Sorry’Torgersen – $116,379
  3. Wade “WilliwG23” Griffith – $81,972
  4. Ruth _crazeelf666” Ruffman – $58,482
  5. Chris “moodeez” Moody – $42,301
  6. Ian “apokerjoker2” Steinman – $30,995

Notable high stakes crushers who ran deeper than WSOP sentimentality in this one include Anthony Zinno (22nd), Nick Schulman (43rd), and Daniel Negreanu (96th).

Event #10: $600 No Limit Hold’em MonsterStack

It must be an odd feeling to finish runner-up in a WSOP event. You still have the deep run exhilaration running through your veins, you’ve solved a few major money problems, and yet you came so close. The thought, “I will never get another opportunity like that again,” but sound like a firetruck in your mind.

The best way to deal with it?

Win one in your next event.

That’s what happened to Ryan “Im.Sorry’Torgersen, who brushed aside the amenability of defeat to McMillen in Event #9, to vanquish 2,074-entrants in Event #10: $600 No Limit Hold’em No Limit Hold’em MonsterStack in the first million-dollar prize pool of the series ($1,119,960).

Notable players on poker’s payroll who made the final table include Brent Roberts and Nick Pupillo.

Bessoted Phil Ivey fans will be muttering sweet nothings into each other’s ears this morning.

Writing for njonlinegambling.com, top scribe Brian Pempus brought to light a court filing that had emerged from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit on Thursday detailing a genial and generous decision from both parties to stop going at each other’s throats.

If you think time whizzes past faster than a pair of smouldering lips within the hurricane of halitosis, then you’re right. The Phil Ivey v The Borgata battle began in 2012, when Ivey and his sidekick, Cheung Yin ‘Kelly’ Sun, won $9.6m using ‘edge-sorting’ techniques while playing high stakes baccarat sessions at the Atlantic City resort.

According to Pempus’s research ‘edge-sorting’ tipped a 1% casino edge into as 6.8% Ivey and Sun edge. The Borgata sued Ivey after they learned how the 10-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner, had done something similar at Genting’s Crockford’s Casino in London’s Mayfair.

The Borgata Winning on Points

In 2016, U.S. District Court Judge, Noel Hillman, found that Ivey and Sun breached a contract with the Borgata on the notion that the pair broke the rules of New Jersey’s Casino Control Act, and ordered them to return their winnings.

Ivey’s legal team fought against the decision.

The Borgata went after Ivey’s assets first in New Jersey and then in Nevada only to find that Ivey doesn’t have any assets in either state. The best the Borgata got was confiscating Ivey’s $124,410 purse for finishing eighth in the 2019 WSOP Poker Player’s Championship (PPC).

“Following oral argument in this case on September 17, 2019, this matter was referred to the Third Circuit’s Appellate Mediation Program,” the filing stated. “The Parties participated in the mediation program, and they have now reached a settlement.”

There are conditions.

Some say a great writer should allow their reader to figure some things out.

Good luck.

“The Parties’ settlement is conditioned on the District Court’s vacatur of certain orders and decisions that it entered in the lower court proceedings,” the filing stated. “If the District Court grants the vacatur, then the Parties’ settlement can proceed and the Parties would stipulate to a dismissal of this appeal. If the District Court fails to grant the vacatur, then the settlement may fail, and the Parties may seek this Court’s adjudication of this appeal. For the foregoing reasons, the Parties respectfully request the Court to stay these appellate proceedings and partially remand this matter to the District Court to consider and adjudicate Defendant-Appellant Ivey’s motion to vacate.”

The filing didn’t disclose details of the settlement.

It seems the pending movie, now has an ending.

‘Gladius’ is Latin for ‘sword’, and Alan ‘GladiusIII’ Goehring cut the 1,479-entrant field to ribbons to win Event #8: $500 No Limit Hold’em Freezeout, and his first gold bracelet on WSOP.com last night.

After dazzling the World Series of Poker (WSOP) since 1997, it’s of mythic measure that Goehring earned his first bracelet in less than 12-hours from the shuffle up and deal to a raised hand. His two previous WSOP final table appearances belong to the poker poetry of the Benny Binion days (including finishing second to Noel Furlong in the 1999 WSOP Main Event).

Goehring’s online exploits remain a mystery, but he has an impressive live tournament CV accumulating $5.3m in gross earnings. Included in that voluptuous and voluminous haul are two seven-figure scores. In 2003 Goehring won the World Poker Tour (WPT) Championship for $1m, navigating a final table that housed Phil Ivey and Doyle Brunson. Three years later he won the WPT LA Poker Classic for $2.3m.

Yeah, I said, “$2.3m.”

Two other players are worthy of mention.

Randy ‘StayAlive’ Ohel did just that until exiting in third place. Ohel is a bracelet owner, after beating Benjamin Lazer to the $2,500 Limit 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball title in 2012, but has finished second three times and third once in live bracelet events sandwiched between that win and this third-place finish.

The other finish of note came courtesy of Robert Kuhn, who won Event #3: $400 No Limit Hold’em for $115,850 a few chrysanthemums shoots ago.

Here are the final table results.

Results

  1. Alan ‘GladiusIII’ Goehring – $119,399
  2. Ross ‘BlueTang’ Gottlieb – $73,942

Those with addictions to alcohol, drugs and chocolate bunnies can rest easy. A new obsession is in town – the pursuit of a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet.

In some quarters of the poker community, the WSOP’s decision to shoot an extravagant volley of low buy-in bracelet events that you can win from the confines of your four walls is too much too bear.

“What happened to the iconic brand!”

“We’ve cheapened what it means to be a bracelet winner.”

“It’s too easy to win a bracelet.”

I don’t think Nathan Gamble or Joon Kim cares too much about things like that.

Gamble (come on, what a name) took down the 833-entrant Event #6: $600 PLO8 6-Handed to capture the $89,424 first prize and a gold bracelet. It’s his second piece of WSOP gold, and at least his third final table (Hendon Mob doesn’t record online results).

In 2017, Gamble won the 830-entrant $1,500 Pot Limit Omaha Hi/Lo event for $223,339 after beating Adam Hendrix, heads-up. A year later he finished eighth in a 773-entrant $1,500 Mixed Pot Limit Omaha/Hi-Lo/Big O contest.

It was the first non-Hold’em event of the celebrations, and it was a tidy turnout.

Here are the final table results.

  1. Nathan ‘surfbum’ Gamble – $89,424
  2. Shane ‘danish01’ Daniels – $55,283

Joon ‘jykpoker’ Kim Wins Event #7: $800 No Limit Hold’em Knockout DeepStack

The other bracelet of the night went to Joon ‘jykpoker’ Kim, who bested a field of 989-entrants in Event #7: $800 No Limit Hold’em Knockout DeepStack.

Leading the final table before the gun went off was PokerNews commentator/sideline reporter, Jeff Platt. Joining him was the two-time bracelet winner Eric Baldwin. Both failed to make the grade with Platt’s run ending in seventh, and Baldwin’s in third.
