As the PokerGO stream is underway, the PokerNews updates will now resume.
2023 World Series of Poker
The 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) consists of 95 bracelet events and is almost entirely tournament-focused, but there are also opportunities to play high-stakes cash games at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas this summer.
Located in the back of the Paris Convention Center, the fabled King's Lounge is lined with high-stakes cash game tables where you may spot Phil Ivey, Patrik Antonius or Daniel Negreanu playing No-Limit Hold'em or Pot-Limit Omaha.
What is preventing you from learning how to play poker? Maybe you are worried about looking silly because you don't fully know the rules and will invariably make a glaring mistake. If you are sitting nodding to any of those suggestions, you need the free-to-play WSOP App in your life.
The WSOP App is the official social gaming application of the World Series of Poker, the biggest brand and most trusted name in the poker world. The World Series of Poker has a reputation for being inclusive, and that shines through to the app because the WSOP App is for everyone, not only hardcore poker players.
Lon McEachern recently joined Chad Holloway and Jesse Fullen for the second episode of The Chad & Jesse Poker Show.
They talk about old WSOP memories and what the first years of video production were like and some old Doyle Brunson stories are told by McEachern.
The final six players have decided to take an hour-long dinner break.
Play will resume at 6 p.m. local time, however, due to the final six being live-streamed, PokerNews will resume reporting at 7 p.m. to avoid stream spoilers.

Ivan Galinec opened to 240,000 from middle position and directly behind him, Felipe Ramos three-bet to 705,000. Action folded back around to Galinec and he pondered a bit before announcing he was all in for 4,300,000.
Ramos went into the tank and after a couple minutes, he put a small stack of chips into the middle to announce a call.
Ivan Galinec: 4♠4♦
Felipe Ramos: J♠J♣
Ramos screamed, "Yes!" when he saw that he was well ahead with his jacks.
The board ran out 2♣3♦7♥9♥3♥ — keeping Ramos out in front with his overpair and eliminating Galinec in seventh place.

Nozomu Shimizu opened to 250,000 from early position and Felipe Ramos defended his big blind to see the 8♥4♥2♥ flop. Ramos check-called for 125,000 which brought in the 6♠ turn. Ramos then led out for 350,000 and Shimizu called within two seconds.
On the 10♣ river, Ramos checked and Shimizu quickly fired out 950,000. Ramos went deep into the tank and rechecked his cards. It looked like he was about to fold to Ramos flicked in the one chip call and Shimizu began laughing.
Shimizu tabled his K♥Q♦ for a king-high bluff while Ramos called with the K♦8♦ which was good for just a pair of eights.
The Brazilian immediately left his feet in celebration for hero-calling correctly and the table complimented Ramos for his gutsy play.

Jeremy Eyer opened to 250,000 from the button and called when Shiva Dudani moved all in for 460,000 from the small blind.
Shiva Dudani: K♥2♣
Jeremy Eyer: Q♣9♠
Dudani had the better hand preflop but was drawing to three outs after Eyer paired up on the 9♣5♥3♣ flop. There was no help for the at-risk player on the 10♠ turn and J♥ river, and Dudani exited in eighth-place.
