WSOP officials announced the ��WSOP Paradise Parlay�� by GGPoker, which is a chance for players that cashed in the 2023 WSOP to parlay their summer success into additional cash during 2023 WSOP Paradise.

It��s very simple �C if a player earns 10 cashes between the two series, they will receive $5,000; if they make three final tables, they��ll get $25,000; and if they capture two bracelets, well then a hefty $100,000 additional prize awaits!

Support for the WSOP��s new promotion was overwhelmingly positive.

Kasparas Klezys opened to 1,200,000 in middle position and was called by Maksim Vaskresenski and Clemen Deng behind him as Roland Israelashvili came along from the big blind.

Level 12 : 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Action was heads up with what looked like 8,000,000 in the pot and a full board of 3?5?6?9?Q? when Nazar Buhaiov checked. Clemen Deng bet 8,500,000 from the cutoff and Buhaiov went into the tank.

After a few moments of thought, Buhaiov called and tossed the losing hand in the muck when Deng turned over A?Q? for the rivered pair of queens.

Hotel guests can even purchase an all-inclusive package for what is mostly unlimited drinks and grub throughout their stay.

Atlantis has a little something for everyone when it comes to food. There's a sushi bar, sports bar, ice cream shop, buffet, cafe, steakhouse, deli, snack bar, Starbucks, seafood restaurant, burger joint, and multiple other fine dining establishments. The numerous food choices make it convenient on dinner breaks during tournaments or on non-poker days.
