Kristen Foxen finally gets the WSOP bracelet she can brag about.

Caesars has agreed to be taken private by Fertitta Entertainment, owned by billionaire Tilman Fertitta, in a $17.6 billion all-cash deal.

The offer is $31 per share, which is almost 50 percent more than the stock price before rumors started flying. Fertitta will take on nearly $12 billion of Caesars’ existing debt, financed with a little help from ten different banks.

The combined company would run 60 casinos and gaming spots, at least until regulators step in. According to Legal Sports Report, past mergers have forced companies like Caesars to shed properties to avoid cornering local markets. For example, both Caesars and Fertitta already operate casinos in places like Atlantic City and Las Vegas.

The Final Table of the $25,000 No Limit Hold’em High Roller is underway with a WSOP bracelet and major prize money on the line.

How to lose at everything, by Rampage.

Ethan 'Rampage’ Yau just put in a candidate for the roughest session ever recorded on Poker Night in America. Over 127 hands, he played more than half of them, but didn’t win a single showdown.

Michael Mizrachi is making the impossible look routine at this year’s WSOP, at least according to PokerNews.

After registering late and losing most of his stack on his very first hand, Mizrachi was left with less than a big blind. Most players would already be halfway to the parking lot, but not 'The Grinder.’

Instead, he turned his 3,000 chips into a stack of 1,429,000, charging up the leaderboard with the same relentless style that made him a world champion. PokerNews calls it “vintage Mizrachi“—fearless, pedal-to-the-floor, and apparently allergic to elimination.

As the final day approaches, the field is left to wonder: Is it really a comeback if he does this every year?

Four days after completing a miracle comeback from one chip, Naoya Kihara has won another WSOP bracelet.

We have the first double bracelet winner of the year, and it’s Naoya Kihara. Just days after winning the $10,000 2-7 NL Lowball Single Draw Championship following an unbelievable comeback from a single chip, the Japanese poker pro has captured another title, this time in the $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship.

What makes the story even crazier is the timeline. It took Kihara nearly 14 years to win his second WSOP bracelet, but only four days to win his third. After one of the most remarkable comebacks you’ll ever see, he followed it up by topping a 130-entry field in Seven Card Stud and taking home more than $300,000.

An incredible run and one of the stories of the summer so far.

The final table of the $25,000 No-Limit Hold’em High Roller at the WSOP was stacked with some of the game’s most recognizable names.

Kristen Foxen took down the top prize, pocketing $1,773,083 and her latest bracelet, according to the official WSOP channel. Galen Hall finished runner-up, still banking over $1.1 million, with Biao Ding rounding out the top three.

The rest of the table didn’t exactly walk away empty-handed. Joey Weissman, Ignacio Moron, Zdenek Zizka, Ihar Soika, Giuseppe Calio, and Barak Wisbrod all scored six-figure payouts for their efforts. Not bad for a day’s work in Las Vegas.

Martin Kabrhel didn’t hang around long in the WSOP $25k High Roller.

According to PokerNews, he bought in on Day 2 but was out after a single hand when his pocket sixes met Nick Petrangelo’s ace-king.

Kabrhel joked about wanting a free afternoon, but the dealer had the final say as the ace hit the board. As he left, he quipped, “Okay, that’s it for today. One hand and one hand only. See you later, alligator. I really enjoyed this.”

It has not been an especially memorable WSOP for Kabrhel so far, with his best score a 28th place finish worth $15,879. The High Roller event itself drew 242 entries and a prize pool approaching $5.7 million, but Kabrhel will have to look elsewhere for his next deep run.

This is the first time hearing this story. So cool! WSOP Main Event runner-up Perry Green tells all to PokerOrg.

The three-time bracelet winner famously lost to Stu Ungar heads-up for the Main Event title in 1981. Now, aged 90, he’s still competing at the WSOP.

Teething problems still plague the World Series of Poker.

But, the team is working hard to fix all the problems.

WSOP and Poker Flops: when sharing gets you shut out.

Ivan’s recent piece dives into the dust-up between WSOP and Poker Flops, who found themselves blocked and copyright-claimed after posting short clips from the WSOP live streams. The Poker Flops team was not amused, calling out WSOP for old-fashioned thinking and saying it is hurting the game’s exposure.

Poker Flops responded with a harsh statement, calling out the WSOP for not keeping up with the times and limiting the game’s exposure with their “backward views.”

Ivan points out that while content distribution has been a thorny subject in poker, WSOP does put a lot of resources into producing these streams. Still, the debate over free exposure versus content control continues, with no easy answers in sight.
