Several poker sites and brands have paid their respects to the late Doyle Brunson, and the social poker site Global Poker is the latest to do so. In honor of Texas Dolly, Global Poker is running freeroll satellites every hour until May 20.

“We don’t stop playing because we get old, we get old because we stop playing,” reads a Brunson quote embedded in the tournament lobby.

Global Poker is currently running the Rattlesnake Open VI, which features 109 events in each of Global Poker’s in-game currencies—Gold Coins (GC) events and Sweeps Coins (SC). In total, these events have combined guarantees of GC 896,500,000 and SC 1,943,000.

In addition to the Rattlesnake Open events, Global Poker players now have the chance to play the Ten Deuce SC 10,002 Added, which comes with a buy-in of SC 10.2.

In the ever-evolving world of online poker, TigerGaming has introduced an innovative feature called All-In Cash Out. This unique addition aims to reduce the unpredictable swings associated with cash games, allowing players to secure their equity and minimize the impact of potential bad beats.

By offering players the option to cash out their hand before the river, the site is revolutionizing how their cash games are played, providing greater control and reducing the variance often experienced in poker.

Exploring the All-In Cash Out Feature

The All-In Cash Out feature offered by TigerGaming Poker provides an exciting opportunity for players to protect their potential winnings during crucial all-in situations. By purchasing the equity of their hand, players can secure a portion of the pot without having to rely solely on the outcome of the river card. This allows players to mitigate the risks associated with bad beats and volatile swings, offering a level of control not typically found in traditional cash games.

When faced with an all-in situation, players can cash out and receive a predetermined cash value based on their hand’s probability of winning. This calculation considers the remaining players in the hand and assigns a cash out value accordingly. If a player chooses to cash out, they will receive the determined amount regardless of the final outcome of the hand. Alternatively, players can decline the cash out offer and continue playing for the pot as usual.

It’s important to note that utilizing the All-In Cash Out feature incurs a 1% fee on the hand’s value. This fee is deducted as the cost of using the feature, ensuring that it remains fair and balanced for all players. To facilitate the use of the All-In Cash Out feature, TigerGaming Poker provides a 10-second window for players to make their decision, allowing ample time to weigh the potential risks and rewards.

Enabling and Disabling All-In Cash Out

To enable or disable the All-In Cash Out feature, players can conveniently access their poker client settings. By clicking on “More Options” and navigating to the “Table Settings” section, players will find the All-In Cash Out feature. Here, they have the choice to set it to “Ask Me,” prompting the All-In Cash Out prompt to display in all-in situations or “Never,” for those who prefer not to utilize this feature. This flexibility ensures that players can customize their gaming experience according to their preferences and playing style.

Final Table Action

On the final day of the Main Event, nine players returned to WPT felt, and it only took five hands for the first final table casualty. Marco Niederdeppe made top two pair against the pocket aces held by the shorter stacked Patrik Zidek, with their chips going in on the flop.

Ondrej Drozd quickly followed Zidek to the payout desk after his ace-jack was unable to win a flip against Szymon Bujok. Thomas Ward then bowed out in seventh place on the 33rd hand of the final table after his pair of sixes were outflopped by Niederdeppe’s ace-king.

Play then began to slow down, with ICM considerations becoming increasingly important. However, things picked up when Niederdeppe bagged his third and fourth final table scalp after seeing off Bujok and Tal Herzog in separate all-in preflop encounters.

There would be no lull in the action this time around as the next elimination soon followed. Niederdeppe’s domination continued as he sent Giovanni Ursoleo with pocket aces.

Mate then set up heads-up play with Niederdeppe after the former flopped a king-high straight against Dmitry Lineburg, who was all in for his last three big blinds.

Heads-up play would only last eight hands after Mate and Niederdeppe were all in preflop with king-queen and queen-eight, respectively. Neither player hit the board, but Mate’s king-high was enough to seal the victory.

The PokerStars Asia Pacific Poker Tour (APPT) stop at the five-star NagaWorld Integrated Resort in the Kingdom of Cambodia has determined a winner in the 2023 APPT Cambodia $1,500 Main Event. Out of a field of 476 entries, Chao-Ting Cheng and Junnie Pamplona shared the biggest slice of the $623,322 prize pool after cutting a heads-up deal.

It only took 13 hands from there on for Cheng to overcome a small chip deficit and claim the golden shard trophy that had still been up for grabs along with $94,448 for the efforts. Runner-up Pamplona won his seat in a PokerStars LIVE Manila live qualifier for 6,600 Philippine Pesos ($120), which included the tournament entry and hotel package, and made it almost all the way to victory with just one bullet to claim $101,647 for the efforts.

Pamplona narrowly missed a career-best score on the live poker circuit, which he previously set in the 2022 WPT Prime Cambodia $1,100 Main Event right here in the grand ballroom at Naga 1.

Ting-Yi “Eric” Tsai and Hua-Wei Lin also represented Taiwan on the final table, finishing in third and seventh place respectively. Colombia’s Jimmy Torres followed up an 18th place in the 2023 EPT Monte-Carlo Main Event with another deep run while on a poker and vacation trip to Asia alongside fellow countryman Mauricio Salazar Sanchez.

The final nine players returned to their seats at 1 p.m. local time, and the average stack was very deep, yet it took just six and a half hours to determine a champion. Especially the opening stages brought several all-in showdowns, and the field was already cut down to just four contenders on the first break with the short stack holding 48 big blinds to their name.

Vietnam’s Bien Mai, who already had two runner-up finishes and a win to his name in the last two months in the Asia-Pacific region, was the first to bow out. In the third hand of the final table, Mai’s king-queen suited flipped versus pocket eights, and Cheng made quads.

Curtis Lim aimed to parlay the same pocket pair into success but Jimmy Torres held up with pocket queens to reduce the field to the final seven in a matter of minutes. Hua-Wei Lin was outflipped by Eric Tsai, and Kien Tat Heng swiftly followed when he ran with jack-nine suited into the pocket kings of Cheng. Evgenii Nekrasov lost a portion of his stack to end up second-best with tens against Pamplona’s king-queen.

That wrapped up the first two hours of frantic poker action, and the deep-stacked part of the final table commenced. Tsai pulled ahead of the pack by some margin before a pivotal all-in showdown unfolded. Torres had dropped to a short stack and open-jammed with eight-seven suited, which Tsai called. Pamplona found another premium pair in pocket kings to isolate, and Tsai folded as Pamplona soared to the top of the leaderboard.

Cheng was on the verge of becoming the third-place finisher after his stack plummeted to a mere 12 big blinds. However, he doubled back into contention through Pamplona and chipped up. The inevitable clash between both contenders from Taiwan then followed in which Cheng’s ace-queen rivered a flush to crack the pocket queens of Tsai.

Ten hands into heads-up play, Cheng’s pocket queens secured a large double against the flopped top pair of Pamplona, and it was all over three hands later. Pamplona slow-played pocket aces in the big blind with a min-raise, and Cheng flopped quads to lock up the victory.

Daniel Negreanu and Eric Persson battled for some huge pots on Tuesday’s High Stakes Poker show on PokerGO, and the former got the best of it.

The high roller poker players recently faced off heads-up on High Stakes Duel IV Round 1, with “DNegs” taking down the match for $100,000. His opponent declined a rematch but perhaps he owed him one after the cooler we’re about to discuss on Episode 15 of the iconic poker cash game show.

There were five others at what was a mostly new table compared to last week — Stanley Choi, Charles Yu, Ben Lamb, Eric Hicks, and Bill Klein.

Ben Lamb Starts Off Hot

The action in this $200/$400 no-limit hold’em cash game started right off the bat when Lamb three-bet to $8,200 with A♠K♣ before being four-bet to $25,000 from the 9♠8♠ of Yu. Lamb then jammed all in for $191,000 total and his opponent was forced to instantly muck his cards.

Moments later, the two-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event final table participant would take down another pot when he hit a straight on the turn with A♦5♥ on a board of 3♥2♠9♦4♠. There was already $39,600 in the middle. Lamb sized up a bet of $20,000 hoping to entice some action in the three-way pot, but Klein and Hicks didn’t have strong enough hands to continue.

Negreanu Defeats Persson on High Stakes Duel

Negreanu Loves the Persson Raise

The huge pots continued with Choi raising to $3,000 on the button with A♣7♦. Negreanu, holding K♠Q♣ made the call, as did Persson with his K♦10♥.

When 3♦Q♦K♥ showed up on the flop, action checked to the preflop raiser who bet $4,000 with just ace-high. That, of course, didn’t work because Persson had top pair and bumped it up to $19,000. Negreanu had an even stronger hand – top two pair – and then went for a re-raise to $64,000.

After Choi quickly moved out of the way, Persson had a decision to make against the opponent he recently lost a $100,000 heads-up match to on High Stakes Duel IV.

The move he chose, to move all in for $96,000 total, was not a profitable one. “DNegs” snap-called and could only lose to a combination of runner-runners. The 3♥ on the turn brought about two chop outs, but the 10♣ river sent the Poker Hall of Famer the entire $206,000 pot.

Persson would get some revenge in a $48,000 pot against the same opponent when he bet three-high on a flop and forced Negreanu off ace-high. He’d take another pot down against the six-time WSOP bracelet winner when a diamond on the river gave him a flush to crack top pair.

The dynamic duo went at it once again in one of the most epic hands of the day. Persson limped with 4♠4♣ and then Negreanu made it $2,000 on the button with A♥J♥, and they went heads-up to the flop, which was about as juicy as possible – J♦6♥4♥ – making a set versus top pair and the nut flush draw.

Negreanu, after action was checked over to him, bet $1,000 and received a call. Persson dark-checked the turn and Negreanu bet $8,000 before seeing the 9♠. Persson called and then dark-checked the river again. “Kid Poker” bet $21,000 in the dark and then the dealer turned over the A♣, creating quite the cooler.

Persson moved all in for $147,000 effective, and Negreanu simply couldn’t fold top two pair on that board.

“Good hand, I was going to go broke no matter what,” Negreanu told his opponent. “There’s no way out of that one.”

Persson’s run-good continued shortly after against Yu when he flopped a set against top pair and top kicker. Yu, facing a $25,000 bet and $83,000 in the pot, moved all in for $98,000 and without hesitation was called by an opponent who was way out in front. Klein, who had flopped a small flush draw, had to fold his cards. There would be no sick suck-out and Persson took down his second pot of over $250,000.
