Plenty of Extras Being Given Away at This Year's WSOP

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

The buzz inside the walls of the Rio extends beyond just the tournaments on the 2013 World Series of Poker schedule. Online poker in Nevada is a very, very hot topic right now, and WSOP.com is making a lot of noise.

While the site has yet to launch, you can head to the Lambada Room of the Rio or look for one of the beautiful and friendly WSOP.com ladies walking the hallways to sign up for a free, personal WSOP.com online poker account. This is a great way to get a jump on the site's registration, and plenty of people have already taken this opportunity.

What's more is that the WSOP will be hosting daily raffles for everyone that has taken the time to register for WSOP.com at the Rio. What can you win? Plenty of fantastic prizes including 36 WSOP seats!

Players 21 years of age and older who sign up for a WSOP.com account will automatically be entered into the “36-Seat Giveaway” where a randomly-selected winner will win a seat into the next day’s first WSOP gold bracelet event. One of the events eligible in this promotion is the $111,111 One Drop High Roller No-Limit Hold’em tournament that is expected to feature a $10,000,000 prize pool and allow you to play poker with the biggest names in the game. In total, $182,333 in WSOP seats, including a seat to the WSOP Main Event, are being given away during this one-of-a-kind WSOP.com promotion.

In addition to the 36-Seat Giveaway, a “Hot Seat” promotion will allow any player who signs up for a WSOP.com online account and wears their WSOP.com patch on their chest at the table while playing an event to be randomly selected to receive 500 bonus dollars deposited directly into their WSOP.com online account once the site has received all regulatory approvals and launches.

With 62 WSOP gold bracelet events and three winners promised for the Main Event, this promotion includes $32,000 worth of value to those participating.

Bahar Triples on a 3-Way All In

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

The player UTG+1 raised and it folded around to the small blind. The small blind reraised all in and Haviv Bahar, the big blind, also went all in for his final 56,000. The player UTG+1 called and turned over {a-Spades}{k-Spades}. Bahar held {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} and the small blind had {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}.

Bahar's aces held on a board of {q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{j-Spades}{3-Spades} eliminating the small blind.

Roommates Battle

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Daniel Ellery raised to 10,000 from the button and Wyatt Gibson calls from the big blind.

The flop came {9-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades}. Gibson checked to Ellery who moved all in for his final 30,000. Gibson turned over {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and Ellery showed {9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for two pair.

The turn {5-Spades} and river {10-Hearts} provided no relief to Gibson and Ellery earned some much needed chips from his roommate.

Gibson Stacks Up

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

A player in early position raised to 20,000. Wyatt Gibson called from middle position, and everyone else folded. The flop brought the {k-Clubs}{2-Spades}{9-Hearts}, and the early-position player pushed his remaining 20,000 into the middle. Gibson made the call, and the players showed their hands.

Gibson: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Early position: {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}

The early-position player needed help, but it wasn't to be, as the {8-Hearts} and {3-Clubs} completed the board. Gibson is now racing with Sean Small for the chiplead.

Harris Runs Into a Surprise

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Everyone folded to John Harris in the small blind, who put the short-stacked big blind all in. Unfortunately for him, the big blind woke up with {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}, and Harris' {8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} was miles behind. A flop of {2-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{7-Clubs} brought nothing, but a sweat arrived on the turn in the form of the {6-Spades}. A {6-Diamonds} river meant the aces were good, and Harris now finds himself under 10 big blinds.

Fox Busts One

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

The hijack opened to 7,000. The player on the button moved all in for 11,000 and Ryan Fox in the big blind, also moved all in for his final 18,500. The hijack thought for a short time but ended up folding.

When the hands were tabled Fox showed {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} against his opponent's {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}. The board of {3-Hearts}{k-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs} provided no help to Fox's opponent and he was eliminated.
