The 2014 World Series of Poker is well underway at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, but that's not the only place you can get your WSOP fix. From June 1-15, grinders in Nevada will be able to participate in the WSOP.com Online Championship Series.
The 15-event WSOP.com Online Championship Series festival features more than $550,000 in combined guarantees, and the winners of the first 14 events will all receive an entry into the $200,000 guarantee WSOP Online Championship Main Event on June 15.
Tonight's event, a $109 No-Limit Hold'em Rebuy with a $25,000 guarantee, begins in a little more than an hour! Here's a look at the schedule of events:
Phil Ivey opened to 4,800 from the hijack seat and found two callers in the shape of Jerry Payne on the button and Brian Horwitz in the big blind.
The trio of players watched on as the dealer spread the flop, a flop that was checked to Ivey. He then bet 7,000 and both of his opponents folded.
Ivey is still in the hunt for what would be his first hold'em bracelet. Ivey has nine bracelets, all are from non-hold'em events: Will that change this week?

We walked up to a board of and a pot of over 50,000. Allan Le bet 14,000 and Dylan Linde made the heads-up call. The river was the and Le led again for 22,000, leaving himself approximately 45,000 behind.
Linde thought for a moment before announcing "all in." Le considered momentarily before eventually mucking.
A preflop raising war between David Peters and Dylan Linde resulted in the former being all in and at risk of elimination.
Linde held the while Peters' tournament life depended on his holding. The did just that on the flop, but fell behind on the turn. The completed the board and with that Peters said "nice hand" before heading to the cashier's desk to collect his prize money.
Ryan Schoonbaert opened to 2,000 on the button and Phil Ivey defended his big bind with a call.
Both players checked the flop and then Ivey check-called a 5,000 bet on the turn. Both players checked the river and Schoonbaert mucked when he saw Ivey open .
