Pot-Limit Omaha

Dylan Kalisky opened to 1,100,000 preflop and was called by Alen Bakovic in the big blind.

After a few seconds, Kalisky announced he was all in and Bakovic snap-called to put him at risk.

"You got queens?" Kalisky asked, and Bakovic nodded as he spread his hand.

Dylan Kalisky: 8♠8♥7♦5♠ All in
Alen Bakovic: Q♠Q♥5♥6♦

Kalisky needed some major help to stay alive, and the turn 6♣ gave him extra outs to a nine, but the river was the 10♥ to send him to the rail in tenth place.

Level 34 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

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.

The poker player from England entered the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) with less than $100,000 in live tournament cashes, according to The Hendon Mob. Twelve days into the series, there's an argument to be made that he's one of a few "players to beat" regarding WSOP Player of the Year.

And, here's what's really crazy — Samual gambled half his poker bankroll in one event just to get to this point.
