World Series of Poker Broadcast Schedule Released - CardsChat.com

If the monotone chants of "RIG-BY! RIG-BY!" mean anything to you, you may have been in the Rio Amazon Room in Las Vegas during the 2021 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event. It was here that Pittsburgh's Nicholas Rigby became a household name in the poker world for his loose-aggressive, bluff-intensive playing style.

And if the name Rigby doesn't ring a bell, the phrase "Dirty Diaper" might. It's the nickname for deuce-three offsuit, which may be a rag holding in most poker games but may as well be the nuts in home games back in the Burgh. And thanks to his TV time on the feature table, it is also Rigby's signature poker hand.

After several deep Main Event runs in Las Vegas, Rigby is tried his luck on the World Poker Tour (WPT) and used his aggressive play and loose image to build up a top stack on Day 1b of the WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Championship in Hollywood, Florida.

Read About the Day 1b SHRPS Highlights!

As he built up a stack before dinner break on Day 1b, it dwelled on Rigby that the Dirty Diaper was had come back to haunt him.

Ive had it played on me five times," he told PokerNews. "I think theyre five-for-five with it. Its powers are shifting. I havent played it often; I think Ive only had it twice.

Despite getting the Dirty Diaper shoved in his face, Rigby managed to score several knockouts at what he described as "a fun table" with "a lot of conversations."

"We had a lot of knockouts today, so a ton of chips at our table," he said. "People were getting picked off one by one. (I) just picked up some hands before dinner break.

Rigby had another memorable feature table moment at the 2023 WSOP when he busted poker titan and coach Chance Kornuth on Day 5 of the Main Event in a 200 big blind pot. Rigby woke up with aces at the right time as Kornuth held ace-king suited and went with it in a hand widely discussed throughout the poker world.

But there's no bad blood between Rigby and Kornuth, who was also in the Day 1b field at Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood.

Ive talked to him this trip, but no, I havent brought up that hand," Rigby said. "Im sure he doesnt want to remember it.

While Rigby spoke with PokerNews, his friend Griff wandered over and started filming, noting that the guys will love this."

The guys in question are Rigby's Pittsburgh pals who enjoy playing the card game "Screw Your Neighbor," which Rigby explained the rules of.

I dont play much cash, I play a lot of Screw Your Neighbor with my buddy Griff," said Rigby. "You dont want to have the lowest card, you pass it to your neighbor on the left. Unless they have a king, it blocks it. This little buddy right here, he doesnt know that. So we took all his money.

After he returned from dinner break on Day 1b, Rigby had an awful level" that included "two coolers" that saw his hard-earned chips taken away. He advanced to Day 2 with over three starting stacks before falling ahead of the money.

"Dirty Diaper" Comes Back to Haunt Rigby as Opponents Play it Back at WPT SHRPS - PokerNews.com

Day 2 of the World Poker Tour (WPT) Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Championship wrapped up late on Sunday night as 101 players found bags to advance to Day 3.

Out in front is Wisconsin's Josh Reichard, who sits tied for second on the all-time WSOP Circuit ring list as he searches for a maiden WPT title. Reichard will enter Day 3 ahead of fellow big stacks Michael Rocco, Anthony Spinella and Scott Baumstein.

There were 236 players left with 234 spots paid when a double elimination took place that made hand-for-hand play unnecessary. Stuart Young was the first to go as his ace-ten couldn't survive a three-way pot, while Brandon Hamlet was next to go to miss out on a minimum payday of $6,400.

It was an unfortunate finish for Hamlet, who made a splash in poker social media circles after pulling off a wild bluff on Day 1a that saw his opponent folding an ace-high flush on a paired board.

Rigby Talks "Dirty Diaper" at WPT SHRPS

There were 643 players who entered Day 2 and, despite the 60-minute level structure, they it only took a few hours for that number to half. As the money bubble encroached, some of those who failed to cash included Jason Mercier, Gerome Guitteau and Aditya Prasetyo.

All eyes have been on the upcoming high-stakes crossbook this summer between young poker stars Landon Tice and Jeremy Becker, and both players were in the Day 2 field. This warmup round went to Tice as he advanced to Day 3, while the "King of the Dailies" bowed out in 120th place for $8,200.

Other in-the-money eliminations on Day 2 included Matt Stout (216th - $6,400), Day 1b chip leader Maxwell Young (161st - $7,000), David Jackson (150th - $8,200), Ray Qartomy (137th - $8,200), Raminder Singh, (141st - $8,200), Blake Bohn (127th - $8,200) and poker coach Faraz Jaka, whose small blind three-bet jam was called by an opponent who had his king-seven dominated.

Meanwhile, Day 1a chip leader Eider Da Cruz is still kicking headed into Day 3 after getting life by doubling through Damien Simon during Level 17.

The SHRPS Championship action will continue with Day 3 on Monday, April 22 at noon local time as the event gets closer to crowning a winner. Before that happens, there's still Day 4 that will play down to a six-handed final table, at which point action will pause until May 29 when the final table plays out in Las Vegas.

PokerNews is here at Seminole Hard Rock and will continue to write about the SHRPS action, while live updates from the event can be found on the WPT site.

Bubble Bursts on Day 2 of WPT SHRPS as 101 Players Advance; Josh Reichard Leads - PokerNews.com

Bin Weng's breakout year in 2023 is matched only by a select few runs in tournament poker history, such as Daniel Coleman's eight-figure steamrolling in 2014 or Michael Addamo's more recent high-roller tear through 2021.

Unlike the sunrunners who came before him, Weng has shown no signs of stepping back from live poker. A quarter into the new year, Weng has already racked up nearly two dozen Hendon Mob cashes including a second Circuit ring victory in Pompano Beach though none of them have quite lived up to Weng's standards.

"Not really (any notable results) this year so far," Weng laughed. "But hey, Im trying.

The Pennsylvanian's incredible 2023, which saw him winning the WPT and GPI Player of the Year awards, was highlighted by a victory in the World Poker Tour (WPT) Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Championship for $1,128,250. One year later, Weng is ready to defend his title.

Red Hot Bin Weng Wins WPT SHR Poker Showdown

From the moment he sat down at the final table of the 2023 WPT SHRPS Championship with the chip lead, Weng had his eyes on the Mike Sexton WPT Champions Cup. It was four months after Weng secured a career-best score of an even $1 million at Borgata, and he was eager to surpass it.

I remember I was so, so, so emotional when the last hand played out," Weng told PokerNews. "When I knew I was winning the event. Because winning a WPT Main Event is one of my biggest dreams that made me decide to start playing poker. So it meant a lot to me. I was very emotional, very happy, cant even believe that I (won) that last year."

Incredibly, it wasn't the only WPT final table that week where Weng held the chip lead. He also led the final six in the WPT Choctaw Main Event, which played out the next day in the same HyperX ESports Arena in Las Vegas.

Weng wound up finishing fourth for $143,000 as a different player, Jared Jaffee, won his second WPT title. But Weng was just getting started.

In July 2023, Weng won the $10,000 WPT EveryOne for One Drop at Wynn Las Vegas for $2.2 million. Five months down the road, he took down the $25,000 WPT World Championship High Roller in the same venue for $958,279 as he secured both WPT and GPI POY titles.

"I feel very grateful and try to play my best," Weng said when asked about his breakout year. "We all know that poker is not an easy, normal job. Theres a lot of variance and stuff, a lot of unexpected things and emotions. And luckily, I got to win several big events last year. I mean, I cannot forget how good I ran at the final table, especially in a lot of big spots. I know I was so lucky. I know that one thing.

Is it any wonder that three out of four of Weng's biggest career scores were earned on the World Poker Tour? When he spoke with PokerNews on Day 1a, he said these are his favorite events to play.

I always have a good experience with the WPT Main Event tour. Their 60 and 90-minute structure is my favorite since the beginning, since I started playing poker tournaments. One of my favorites. So I feel really comfortable and very happy to be here, for sure.

That comfortability helped Weng navigate the Day 1a field, and may have assisted him when he correctly called down an opponent with ace-high before catching up with PokerNews on break.

Weng bagged a stack of 123,000 on Day 1a and will return for Day 2 on Sunday, April 21. Only time will tell if he will do the unthinkable by winning back-to-back SHRPS Championship titles.

"One of My Biggest Dreams": Reigning POY Bin Weng Reflects on WPT SHRPS Victory - PokerNews.com

Nikhil "Nik Airball" Arcot and Andrew Robl went to battle, Santhosh Suvarna played some monster pots, and there was over $4.7 million on the table on the newest High Stakes Poker episode, which aired Monday on PokerGO.

Season 12 is heating up, and Episode 7 is must-see. Multiple pots over $500,000 were played, and the $1,000/$2,000 blinds made for some juicy action. Here's a look at the full list of players when the game began, and the chips they each had in front of them.

The show began with Robl, holding QJ, flopping top pair on a board of 510Q77 and betting $4,000 into a pot of $23,000. Airball, perhaps fooled by the undersized wager, went for a raise to $18,000 with king-high, but it wasnt enough to force a fold.

On the next hand, with a $4,000 straddle on, the same two players would tangle again. Robl raised to $10,000 with K9 from an early position. Airball called on the button with A6.

The flop came out A9A, and Robl led for $10,000 with his nearly-drawing-dead two pair. A call was made, and then both players checked the 4 turn. When the 5 appeared on the river, Robl checked, but would call off a $15,000 bet only to find out his hand was no good.

After Robl pushed Suvarna around in a couple of pots, he went back to war against the Hustler Casino Live regular hed already faced at the beginning of the show. In this next pot, Airball would get a fortunate run-out.

Action began with Robl raising to $6,000 with Q10 and then, in position, Airball made the call with A2. The flop of 987 gave both players something to draw to, and after a check, Airball bet $10,000, to which his opponent called.

Following the K on the turn, which completed the nut flush, Airball would fire out a bet of $21,000 and receive a call. The river was the 3, giving Robl a flush, but one that was inferior. Despite that, instead of checking it back, he fired out a bet of $85,000, just over the size of the pot. Knowing his hand couldnt possibly be beat, Airball raised to $175,000, and he earned a call before scooping a $429,000 pot.

When your pocket aces get cracked but youre still drawing live, thats not an awful position. For Suvarana, who has been getting destroyed in the few High Stakes Poker episodes hes appeared on, he found himself in such a situation against a Harvard professor.

Preflop action started with Tang raising to $5,000 with A5, and then Suvarna deciding to slowplay his AA by just calling in position. Adams, in the big blind with 64, called to see a flop of 5J7, and Tang made a continuation bet of $7,000 with bottom pair.

Suvarna and Adams, who had a straight draw, would both make the call to see the 8 on the turn complete the straight. But with a heart in his hand, Suvarna wasnt drawing dead, and he would bet out $25,000.

Adams had a decision to make with a straight knowing theres a chance he was up against a flush. But he wasnt about to fold, so he made the call just before Tang mucked his cards. The 5 on the river bricked the flush, and Adams checked. Instead of checking behind, Santhosh made a sizable bet of $62,000 for value. But he wouldnt get that value because Adams called with a superior hand.

Moments later in the show, Adams was the one who picked up pocket aces, and he would get paid off on the river by Airballs ten-high when a straight draw failed to come through in a $140,000 pot. Suvarna would then go on a heater, winning large pots against Airball and Tang over the following few hands.

Things would get even better for Santhosh in a hand against Tang. With the board showing 5369, both players were all in for a $524,000 pot. Tang held 107 for a monster draw, and was up against 65 for two pair. They agreed to run it twice, and both rivers were of no help to the drawing hand.

Charles Yu would enter the game late, and it took him no time to lose a big pot, which he often has done on shows such as Hustler Casino Live.

The hand began with Adams raising to $5,000 with 77, while Suvarna called behind him with 42. Yu, on the button with QQ, three-bet to $29,000 and both players called.

When the flop showed 1097, Yu was in deep trouble, and he checked it over to Adams, who bet $45,000 with bottom set. That was enough to get Suvarna out of the way, but pocket queens wasnt going anywhere.

The turn was the 5, no help to either player. Yu checked and then called a $90,000 wager before the 5 on the river paired the board. Following another check back to him, Adams downsized his bet a tad to $85,000, just enough to keep his opponent interested. Yu made the call and lost a $530,000 pot to close out Episode 7.

You can catch the full episode on PokerGO and future episodes, which air each Monday at 5 p.m. PT.

Millions of Dollars on the Table in This Week's High Stakes Poker Episode - PokerNews.com

A controversial change to the popular tournament as the winner's bracelet will be one of the random bounty prizes instead of going to the eventual champion.

More proof that the Mystery Bounty format is capturing the imagination of the poker world, with a surprise announcement from the WSOP.

The WSOP Mystery Millions event has been a big hit for the last two years, with three players winning $1 million from a single bounty pull so far. In every case, they won more money than the eventual champion.

Last night the World Series of Poker announced the bounty jackpots will have even more prestige. One random bounty this year in the Mystery Millions will not contain cash, but instead have the coveted WSOP bracelet at the end of it.

That means you could bust a short stack on Day 2 with 1,000 runners left, but still be the official champion and a bonafide WSOP bracelet winner, without taking down the event. After the bracelet is pulled, the rest of the players are just competing for money like a regular tournament, but with no title at the end.

This is not only the easiest way to win a WSOP bracelet but also very controversial. We spoke with leading WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth, who said "This is worse than that Flip & Go thing".

The $1,000 Mystery Millions starts on May 30th with four starting flights and bounties starting on Day 2. The value of the bracelet is $1,500.

News: WSOP Mystery Millions to award the bracelet at random - pokerstrategy.com

At times I have had as many as 15,000 watching me play poker live, and millions of people on video platforms. Its been quite a journey It has been nearly five years since Jaime Staples joined partypoker. While other ambassadors have come and gone, Jaime and his brother Matt remain the sole ambassadors representing partypoker today.

Originally from Alberta, Canada, Jaime has not only become one of pokers most beloved Twitch streamers but also a prominent voice in the online poker community. His passion for the game and his dedication to fostering community connections have earned him a huge following.

Jaime took time out of his schedule to answer some of our questions about his role at partypoker and share his thoughts on the rooms future. We also delved into topics such as the potential legalization of online poker in his native Alberta, his perspectives on Ontarios segregated player pool model, and addressed speculations surrounding partypokers potential sale.

Its a pleasure, Anuj. I started playing poker in 2010. In October of 2014, I saw a post on this 2+2 forums about streaming on Twitch which is the largest video game streaming website on the web. I had heard my brothers talk about Twitch before so I figured I would try out showcasing my poker there. It ended up becoming something much bigger than I imagined. In the 9 and half years since that day, I have worked with two of the largest poker companies in the world in PokerStars and now partypoker to try and tell the online poker story. At times I have had as many as 15 thousand people watching me play poker live, and millions of people on video platforms. So its been quite a journey that I count myself lucky to experience.

The majority of our job is about showcasing poker to the masses. What it is, how its played. We talk about some of the things people might not know about the game. etcetera. I think we are a guiding hand into understanding the poker world. We do that primarily through playing partypoker tournaments, cash games and Spins Overdrive while sharing our personal journeys along the way. Our secondary duties involve being a voice for players within the company, and a voice for the company to communicate out to players as well. We get to provide feedback on plans and do general consulting on things going on from within. We also produce explainer videos on promotions or tournament series, and provide the social media department with content in which to showcase partypoker on their pages.

Before I joined partypoker, there was very little social or internet media footprint. The focus was primarily on live poker and sponsoring existing large production type stuff. I like those types of productions as well but sometimes I feel as if online poker should do a better job of standing on its own. We arent primarily live poker companies. We are online poker companies. And there are some distinct advantages to a digital game that make it different to live. A good example is progressive knockout tournaments. A very difficult game to run live, that works perfectly online. There are all sorts of interesting formats waiting to be explored that only work digitally. Which gets more views CSGO esports or airsoft gun championships? The digital format is better in this example, and there is no reason why that cant be true of poker too.

I think Canadian regulators should look to the UK and the system they have developed for poker when moving forward with province-by-province legislation. So we have been able to start telling the online story of partypoker. Featuring our daily legend poker tournaments, streaming the story on Twitch. We had a great event called The Big Deal where we got around 50 streamers to come together and all stream 1 poker tournament at the same time. That was pretty cool.

I dont live in Alberta right now but I hope for the best for my home province. At its core, I think its important for poker players to be able to compete with people from around the world. This is the only game in a casino where that actually matters. Because poker is a competition, even when you play for fun, with an expectation of losing. Imagine not being able to play chess against someone outside of your home province. It would stunt the players from using those platforms and push them underground to non regulated options generating no tax revenue, and with no oversight. Im not sure regulators know that about poker specifically, or care. And for the parent companies lobbying to make this regulated market happen, poker revenue is an afterthought in comparison to their total portfolios. So Its a bit of a grim picture when it comes to our chances at shared liquidity which is so important.

I think Canadian regulators should look to the UK and the system they have developed for poker when moving forward with province by province legislation. They strike a great balance between consumer protection, tax revenue, protecting UK business interests while still allowing market forces to ensure the best product for consumers. They let the best operators do what they do, and everyone is happy. The Ontario model is not working for the game. For me, the answer is clear. Regulate poker, tax operators an amount (similar to the UK) where it is not prohibitive to run poker, have strict regulations on consumer protection, game integrity, and anti money laundering standards with periodic reviews, and license existing operators that want to play fair. Its a win for everyone. Adopting this model also respects First Nations, Metis, and Inuit autonomy within Canada which is important.

We have ceased to operate in many countries that do not have a clear road to regulation. Most of our competitors have a different approach. I am totally indifferent to ring fenced casino because it makes no difference to anyone. Just poker needs different treatment because its PvP.

Mystery Bounties are fun arent they! I have been in some discussions about that. I dont have anything to share beyond that but it definitely has been on our radar for quite some time.

We have a lot of fun tournament stuff happening right now. We have The Big Quarter which is a four times a year tournament with a $200K Gtd. Every Sunday there is an $11 flight and they all combine to make one big finale which is cool. We also have a micro series running starting Sunday March 24th featuring buyins from 0$ to a $22 main event. And last, my favorite, Millions Online is coming May 9th-June 4th. There will be $5 Million Gtd across the series and a $500K Main event. So that is my main focus coming up.

Partypoker was the first to pull out of the US after UIGEA, it is the first to pull out of grey markets as well. We do things by the book I dont have anything to share when it comes to live events. It has typically operated fairly separately from the online side of things so its not a part of the company I work with.

The goals of our parent company Entain shifted, and as such so have we. Entain wants to operate in regulated markets. As such we have ceased to operate in many countries that do not have a clear road to regulation. Most of our competitors have a different approach. When I joined partypoker 6 years ago, the focus was very much to compete to become the biggest. The goal now is to be the very best at what we do. Our strength is our name. Partypoker was the first to pull out of the US after UIGEA, it is the first to pull out of grey markets as well. We do things by the book which means we have a safe trusted fair place to play cards. Thats our strength. The people that play with us care about that.

Currently, my understanding, and that of the people I work closely with at partypoker, is that this is all speculation. Although it casts some uncertainty in terms of the long term direction, if anything like that happens I have no doubt whoever ends up guiding the ship in the future will find success.

In a macro sense, I think we will continue to see fragmentation of markets into ring fenced liquidity. And we will continue to see poker players take their action into unregulated environments and underground. From the micro view, we will continue to see passionate poker people at poker companies, innovate, and change the game for the better. I expect lots of security innovation as it is less and less optional to invest significant resources in that area. I have 100% faith in our approach at partypoker in that area as I also do with my former partner PokerStars. Poker will live on forever, but getting new players in seems a stretch in the current legal environment.

I want to do meaningful work in poker and make a difference in poker. Thats my north star at the moment. Meaningful work. So whenever those opportunities arise, I will jump at them. My next project with partypoker is to interview our head of Game Integrity about our approach with security. Another site reached out about doing something like that with them too so I may pursue it as a series where I could survey the whole industry. More stuff like this is what Im excited about.

And of course continuing to stream every week on Twitch, Youtube and Facebook.

Thanks for asking me the questions Anuj. I enjoyed the opportunity to talk about online poker.

Please play responsibly. If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800 GAMBLER.

The second, third, fourth, and fifth-place finishers reel in an $11 Mini Sunday Slam ticket for their efforts!

The fun and frolics do not end when the PokerNews Ticket Fiesta champion is crowned because there are follow-up freerolls taking place each Sunday, each with $100 cash as a prize pool. Prize money is distributed like in a traditional tournament, so bring youre A-Game to the tables each Sunday in April and see if you can get your hands on the lion's share of the prize pool.

It should go without saying that you're going to need a WPT Global account to enjoy the PokerNews-exclusive freerolls. If you need an account, you can download WPT Global via PokerNews and enjoy a massive 100% match up to $1,200 welcome bonus plus up to six tournament tickets depending on the size of your initial deposit.
