In a limped pot between the blinds, Pablo Brito Silva bet 20,000 on a board of A♠10♥9♥2♠ and Conor Beresford called.
The river came the A♣ and Brito Silva bet his last 60,000. Beresford snap-called and turned over A♥5♦ for trips. Brito Silva flashed 5♥4♥ for a missed draw before heading to the rail for the second time.
Zach Gruneberg, a poker player from Pennsylvania with more than $2.2 million in lifetime tournament earnings, recently lost one of his cats, who escaped from his home while he was out in Las Vegas. What ensured was a frantic search-and-rescue effort that spanned a month and a half.
More specifically, it was a 43-day affair “through hell and back” according to Gruneberg, a five-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) Circuit ring winner, including back-to-back wins in the WSOP PA Online Series at the end of July.
Gruneberg, who is nine years clean and sober, is on Twitter as @HustlerGrune where it states he is both an anime addict and cat dad. One of those cats is a sleek gray feline named “Nook.”
“Nook is the only cat I've had since he was a kitten,” Gruneberg told PokerNews. “He is a super friendly high energy guy that loves to jump up into high places and play more so than any of my other cats.”
The Oracle Red Bull Formula One racing team released a promotional video ahead of November’s Las Vegas Grand Prix and it's an action-packed preview of what F1 has to offer when it invades the Strip this fall.

Conor Beresford raised to 10,000 from under the gun before Ren Lin looked down with a smile and went all in from the button with his trademark "No Gamble, No Future" patch. Lei Yu spent a few moments of consideration in the small blind before he jammed with more and both the big blind and Beresford thought better of it. Action was heads up and Lin was at risk.
Ren Lin: A♠Q♥
Lei Yu: K♣K♠
The board ran out 4♥9♥6♦2♥2♠ and the kings held to send Lin to the rail. There are currently 12 players remaining in the tournament.
