“A couple of years ago, I made two PLO final tables but got seventh and eight. I really felt like I got unlucky, but there’s such variance – cracking aces, having aces hold, it’s everything in this tournament at a final table,” Deeb told WSOP reporters after closing the deal. “I got a great start to the day, got the chip lead, was really never in a bad spot. I was able to control the pot size the way I wanted to in almost every hand. It really helps to not get in an inflated pot with a marginal hand.”

The Hard Rock Casino will open at noon in Atlantic City, N.J., on June 28. The Hotel & Casino invested $500 million renovating the soon-to-be-opened facility. The sign, 30-foot-tall Gibson Les Paul modeled after a Gibson Les Paul guitar, was put up Thursday morning without officials noticing the word “rhythm” was misspelled on the rhythm and treble switch. It included the letter “E.”

The giant guitar is one of two expected to go up at the new resort, with the second slated for installation Saturday at the resort’s entrance.

Hard Rock officials say the typo was corrected Thursday afternoon by removing the extra vinyl letter.

New York lawmakers Fails to Pass Sports Betting Bill

New York lawmakers failed to pass a new controversial sports betting law by Wednesday’s deadline, leaving state gaming authorities with an outdated legislation to establish laws on exactly how wagerers could bet on sporting activities this year.

“The Assembly did not have sufficient votes to move the bill,” Republican Senator John Bonacic told reporters. “There was just no appetite for gaming.”

It counts as a missed out on possibility that leaves New York City in a prone setting with next-door neighbor New Jersey operating and also quickly offering online wagering. Disallowing an unique session, New York lawmakers could take another look at the sporting activities wagering costs when they reunite in January 2019.

In the meantime, state gaming authorities are entrusted to deal with a 2013 regulation to establish how and when to release sporting activities publication licenses as well as various other guidelines, however there are significant imperfections that put limitations on wagerers that will certainly not do anything to deter them from taking their organisation in other places – either throughout the Hudson or to the unlawful, underground market.

The 2013 legislation just enables the 4 state-run online casinos to provide sportsbooks: Rivers Casino & Resort in Schenectady, Resorts World Catskills near Monticello, del Lago Resort & Casino in the Finger Lakes and Tioga Downs in the Southern Tier.

The regulation needs gamblers to put wagers in person and does not consist of online or mobile wagering. Sorts of wagers can consist of result as well as in-game betting.
