Ren Lin was riding high on Day 4 of the 2023 WPT World Championship Monday. He finished the night third in chips, part of a densely packed top group with just 45 players remaining. The final table was in sight, along with the $5.6 million first-place prize. But then Lin started to feel a little under the weather. He took some medication to try to alleviate some of the symptoms ahead of Day 5 of the tournament, and then disaster struck.

Introduction This game is also sometimes known by other names, such as Palace, Karma, China Hand and Ten-Two Slide. The first version of the page was based on a contribution from Michael Labranche, and Jim Curtis, Ciaran Gultnieks, Sean Daly, William Putt, Jane Guarducci and Cristian Seres have added variations. The game is probably of Scandinavian or Nordic origin: it may be descended from the very similar Swedish game Vändtia (“turn ten”) and it is quite closely related to the Finnish game Paskahousu (“shit pants”).

From a field of 3,835, the 2023 WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas has reached its final table of six. Each player is guaranteed to win over $1.2 million, and the champion will take home $5,678,000. These final six players represent arguably one of the most talent-laden final tables in World Poker Tour history, with over $48 million in combined tournament earnings between them. There’s a WPT Champions Club member in Chris Moorman and a WPT Alpha8 champion in Andrew Lichtenberger.

The spots do not get much bigger than they are right now in the 2023 WPT World Championship. With just two tables left, every decision can have six- and even seven-figure repercussions, and after six days of poker, each player remaining has been facing pressure-packed moments for the better part of a week. With over $5.6 million on the line, few seem likely to be as prepared for such an environment as Andrew Lichtenberger.

It’s not every day you get a $1 million buy-in tournament, a $7.1 million first-place prize and a $1.2 million bubble, all in the same package. But on Wednesday, that’s exactly what’s in store for the televised final table of the 2023 WPT Big One for One Drop. Unsurprisingly, some of the games heaviest hitting high rollers are in the mix for it all, including three players in the top 10 on the all-time money list.

Not many people fall into $5,678,000 on a whim, but Ben Jacobs just might be able to pull it off if the next couple days of the 2023 WPT World Championship fall the right way. The 41-year-old from Honolulu, Hawaii flew to Las Vegas with his wife with no concrete intention to play this $10,400 buy-in tournament. And after five days of play, Jacobs holds the chip lead with just 16 players left.

At the same time as the WPT World Championship was dealing out sick hands on its feature table, the final table of the WPT Prime Championship was seeing some amazing play of its own. With the $1.3 million first-place prize looming over the final three players, a hand between four-time WSOP bracelet winner and former #1-ranked online pro Calvin Anderson and start-of-day chip leader Jay Liu – a hand that left the crowd, and commentators, stunned.

In the moment, there was no possible way for Chris Moorman to know just how close he was to being knocked out of the WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas. But, thanks to a wild runout in a massive hand Moorman, the last WPT champ left in the field and one of the most decorated online players in the history of the game not only didnt hit the rail, he soared to the top of the chip counts in the middle of Day 5.

Theres not much that Bin Weng hasnt done at the poker table over the course of 2023. Coming into December, hed already banked three separate $1 million-plus paydays in big field No Limit Holdem events, including $2.2 million for the WPT EveryOne for One Drop and $1.1 million for winning the WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown in May. When Weng came back out to Las Vegas for the WPT World Championship festival at Wynn, considering his back-to-back WPT final tables and a pair of Wynn trophies thus far in 2023, he was on the hunt for more.

If you’ve watched more than a couple of High Roller streams this year, be it Triton, PokerGO or otherwise, there’s a strong chance you’ve come across the bright smiling face of Ren Lin. Lin first rose to prominence with a pair of final tables at the 2021 World Series of Poker, but 2023 has been a breakout year with final table appearances all over the world. He won his first U.

The 2023 WPT World Championship pushed past a key point in the payout table late on Day 4. Everyone left in the field, all 45 players, are now guaranteed a payday of at least $111,300 – and it only goes up from there. There’s quite a bit of traffic at the top of the chip counts to start Day 5, with Canada’s Mark Mounsey holding onto the chip lead by the thinnest of margins.

It was an intense, lengthy battle to determine the winner of the inaugural WPT x Daniel Arsham Celebrity Invitational, and when the smoke cleared at the end of the night entrepreneur Adam Weitsman outlasted the rest to walk away as champion. Weitsman outlasted Emmy award-winning actor Neil Patrick Harris, Arsham himself, Patrick Bruel, Arden Cho and Eileen Davidson on his way to victory. Weitsman last ousted Bruel, the French singer-songwriter and actor with a lengthy list of poker accomplishments including a WSOP bracelet and final table appearances on both the World Poker Tour and European Poker Tour.

About a year ago, Andres Campero decided he wanted to take poker more seriously. A recreational player from Mexico City, Campero had recently sold his start-up company and was looking for something to do that would occupy the bandwidth that he had previously poured into his company. He reached out to Angel Guillen and told him he wanted to learn. Guillen and Campero had first met almost 10 years ago at a Latin American Poker Tour event.

Back in 2001, the World Poker Tour was just an idea bantered about between Steve Lipscomb and Lyle Berman. By early 2003, the earliest episodes of the WPT began to air, and more than 20 years later were in the midst of the biggest Championship Event in the history of the tour at the WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas. Berman was there in the WPTs earliest, most formative days.

They say theres no right way to play pocket jacks. And even when you do, the consensus most hated hand in poker seems to find a way to do you in. That was the case for WPT Ambassador Brad Owen on Monday afternoon who was in the midst of a deep run at the livestreamed feature table in the $10,400 WPT World Championship for a second year in a row.

Of all the players remaining in the 2023 WPT World Championship, there’s one person with a social media presence that dwarfs the rest of the field. And no, it’s not Phil Hellmuth or Phil Ivey. The person in question is Princess Love, who has over 3.8 million followers on Instagram. Love joined the cast of Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood in 2014, and over the last few years moved over to Love & Hip Hop: Miami.

Day 4 of the 2023 WPT World Championship is set up to separate those who have made deep, impressive runs to this point in this historic event from those who will ultimately go on to contend for the title and the $5,678,000 first-place prize. At the outset, both halves of the hyper-successful Foxen poker pairing are still in the mix with only 132 players to go. As cards go into the air, Kristen Foxen starts in the top 10 with 7,260,000, after a Day 3 in which she played on a featured table with a killer lineup that included Chance Kornuth, among many others.

Over the past four years, sports betting has emerged from the shadows and into the mainstream. The anti-gambling stigma that existed for decades faded quickly in American popular culture, opening the door for a massive, multibillion-dollar legal sports betting industry to emerge. With sports betting now legal in many states, millions of sports fans will be looking to enter the betting market for the first time. But where do you begin if you’re unfamiliar with the terminology?

In the world of sports, much can change quickly. An MLB game can seem all but wrapped up until an unexpected rally in the bottom of the ninth inning. An NFL game that looks all but finished can suddenly shift due to an untimely turnover in the fourth quarter. Bettors are all too familiar with these situations, so much that the term “bad beat” exists to describe the ones that got away.

Sports betting used to get a bad rap, mainly due to the negative stigma associated with gambling. But since the COVID-19 pandemic hit and put a halt on live sports, tons of sports fans turned to esports for entertainment and betting, causing the industry’s market size to experience a massive boom over the last few years. According to a report by Market Research, as of 2022, the global sports betting market size is now valued at a whopping $83.
