Wynn have entered into a partnership deal with 888 Holdings and the All American Poker Network to offer legal online poker in the USA.
888 will offer the casino and poker software for Wynn Interactive, a similar deal which 888 have with Caesars Entertainment and the new WSOP online poker software which launched recently.
Wynn Interactive have applied for online gaming licenses to operate in Nevada as well as New Jersey with plans to offer regulated online poker in states where poker is legal.
The All American Poker Network was created by 888 Holdings earlier this year, the poker network will be exclusively for US poker players.
The November Nine 2013 will be decided at the end of Day 7 of the WSOP Main Event, the final 9 players will have a few months off before returning for the final table in November.
The November Nine players have outlasted a field of 6,352 players and having been playing the tournament all week long.
The final table players are: JC Tran, Amir Lehavot, Marc McLaughlin, Sylvain Loosli, Jay Farber, Ryan Riess, David Benefield, Michiel Brummelhuis and Mark Newhouse.
The final table returns in November this year as the 2012 WSOP Main Event was held in October due to US elections last year.
Each year the WSOP sees celebrities including actors and sport professionals taking on pro poker players, this year the 2013 edition of the world series of poker is no different.
The battlefield is the $10,000 buy-in, no-limit Texas Hold ‘em main event of the WSOP which started last Saturday and runs through until the 15th July when the final nine players remain.
The final nine players will then once again compete for the prestigious 44th WSOP bracelet with the winner taking home $8.4 million in November when ESPN will cover the final table live.
Entries into the 2013 WSOP main event were slightly lower than prior years with 6352 entrants from 83 countries which included 5% women, all competing for the title.
Celebrities seem to be attracted to the allure of the World Series of poker, perhaps many of them just like the air time and notoriety of playing the biggest poker event of the year and of course sponsors and marketers thrive at being given the chance to display their logos on celebs who will most likely be given some airtime on TV.
Celebrities already out of the Word Series of Poker this year include actor James Wood, “Everybody Loves Raymond” star Brad Garrett, “Seinfeld” actor Jason Alexander, Jennifer Tilly of “Liar Liar also a poker pro, UFC Mixed Martial Arts champion Georges St. Pierre.
While some celebs may be there just for financial gain from their sponsors many take the game more seriously and can prove tough competition for the seasoned pros as they tend to play unpredictably, and there is inadequate time to learn their individual playing style in a live tournament environment.
