Ryynanen Doubles Through Glaser

Livello 21 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 0 ante

After Benny Glaser raised on the button, Sampo Ryynanen three-bet out of the small blind. Glaser called and each player drew two.

Glaser faced a pat from Ryynanen and decided to draw one.

Ryynanen fanned his 9x7x6x3x2x, while Glaser showed 9x6x3x2x/Xx. The start of day chip leader needed a five or four to eliminate Ryynanen, but instead drew a Qx, sending a double-up to him instead.

Phil Galfond Offers Poker Hall of Fame Pick; Says Two Should Be Inducted Per Year

Livello 20 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

Phil Galfond has yet to make an appearance at the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP), and as he told PokerNews, right now he has no plans to play live.

“But who knows, plans change,” added Galfond, who has been playing online at WSOP.com.

While Galfond hasn’t been at the WSOP – well, at least Phil as his wife, Farah Galfond, has been competing – the three-time bracelet winner is still weighing in by his relatively new newsletter “PG’s Takes of the Week.”

One of the topics the online poker legend, who prior to the WSOP inserted himself in some drama involving Doug Polk and Charlie Carrel with a pointed letter, was that of the Poker Hall of Fame. Right now, the public is being solicited for nomination.

“The nominations for the Poker Hall of Fame are now open, presenting voters with a familiar dilemma: there are simply too many great options to choose from,” Galfond wrote before giving his picks.
