Jamie Gold Wins WSOP
Jamie Gold won the 2006 World Series Poker's Main Event, the largest and richest game in poker history. Gold's dominance in this field was unprecedented in WSOP history. He was the chip leader for the last four rounds of the event, which lasted all week.
Former Hollywood agent Gold, a Malibu, California-turned-television producer, collected an overwhelming chip lead during the first eight days of the tournament and sat at the final table with $26,650,000 worth of chips, $8.88 million more than his nearest competitor.
Gold, who had been leading the tournament since last Friday, won his first title of the day and shortly thereafter set the stage for a commanding performance that ended the two-week tournament by knocking out Dan Nasif. After an exciting 14-hour match, he knocked out the rest of the field, including top poker pro Alan Cunningham.
Gold's $10,000 entry to the main event was provided by Bodog.com , an online gaming giant and leading digital entertainment brand. Today, he competed with eight remaining players in 8,773 stadiums for a record $12 million in first place prize money and a coveted gold crown bracelet.
After winning poker's biggest tournament and prestigious bracelets, a triumphant Gold said, "I can't believe it, I'm very happy. It was hard at first, but once I felt in control, I realized that it would be very hard for me to win if I continued playing my game." He added, "This would not have been possible without the support of my friends and family along with the members of the Bogdock team."
Gold's two-year deal with Bodog.com also includes a $1 million television production deal, as well as standard tournament buy-in and promotional appearances. The deal also includes Bodog.com 's Jamie Gold Table, where Gold will play frequently, allowing other Bodogs players to face WSOP champions. 슬롯머신
"Jamie really epitomizes the dogma spirit. We are incredibly proud of his achievement and excited for his performance at the tournament," said Calvin Eyre, founder and CEO of Bodog.com . "While poker's popularity continues to grow, it has been the most exciting and dominant game since WSOP has grown to its current size."
More than 500 players have qualified for various WSOP tournaments by playing online poker on Bodog.com . Gold was one of 400 Team Bodock players at the main event. The 36-year-old former agent from Paramus, New Jersey, represented many A-list celebrities, including James Gandolfini, Felicity Huffman, Lucy Liu, and Brandi. Gold quit the agent six months ago and is currently the executive producer at BuzzNation, an entertainment media and production company based in Los Angeles. Gold is currently in development on the brand's reality TV series.
QS is Ranked 6th, but 1.3 Billion Wonja Contract
Felix Peña, 33, will join the Hanwha Eagles next year as well. The Hanwha Eagles renewed their contract with Peña, a foreign pitcher, on Wednesday. The deal is worth up to 1.05 million U.S. dollars, including 200,000 dollars in down payment, 650,000 dollars in annual salary, and 200,000 dollars in incentives. Peña is in his third year in the KBO league this year, and despite his stable performance enough to renew his contract, he signed the seal at the maximum of just over 1 million dollars given to new foreign players in the KBO.
Peña first became acquainted with the Hanwha Eagles as a substitute for Nick Kingham, who was released last year. As he joined the team during the season, the Hanwha Eagles awarded Peña 500,000 U.S. dollars. Peña had five wins and four losses, 67 ⅔ innings, 72 strikeouts, and an ERA of 3.72 in 13 games that year. The Hanwha Eagles decided once again that they displayed enough performance to trust, and renewed the contract this year by raising 350,000 dollars to 850,000 dollars.
When Hanwha was troubled by Birch Smith earlier this season, Peña silently took the center stage of the starting lineup as a real ace. Hanwha invested $1 million in Smith and expected the ace's mission, but he couldn't take the mound due to injuries after pitching in the second ⅔ of the opening game. Peña was holding out, and Young Gun Moon Dong-ju spent the rookie of the year season, preventing the starting lineup from collapsing.
Peña started 32 games this year, recording 11 wins and 11 losses, 177 ⅓ innings, 147 strikeouts and a 3.60 ERA. He is the only player in his team who pitched 30 games and 170 innings or more, and this is a figure that can be achieved only when he stays in rotation throughout the entire season. He also ranked sixth in the most innings, tied for ninth in multiple wins, tied for sixth in strikeouts, and 14th in ERA.
It is not a stellar performance, but it is valuable for pitchers who constantly and stably maintain the mound. Peña ranked sixth in the league with 19 quality starts this year. He displayed the highest level of stability in the league, with only three shots ahead of top-ranked Raul Alcantara (22) of Doosan Bears. Nevertheless, he chose to stay at 1.05 million U.S. dollars, which is a blessing for Hanwha.
Hanwha ranked 9th this year with 58 wins, 80 losses, and 6 draws with 0.420. Although it is on the verge of continuing its disgraceful record of being the lowest for three consecutive years from 2020 to last year, ninth place is certainly a difficult ranking to be satisfied with. Even if all factors are important overall, in the end, a team with a strong starting lineup will go to the fall baseball. In that sense, Peña is expected to be a strong support for Hanwha to rise to the top five.
Peña is also a big influence on young pitchers. This year, he taught Moon his main weapon, change-up drawing, helping him grow into the ace of the national team. Peña gets along well with his teammates and has a positive influence on the team.
After signing the contract, Peña said, "I am very happy to sign the contract. Once again, I would like to thank Hanwha for giving me the opportunity to play in Korea. I hope to prepare well for the offseason and help my team advance to the postseason in a healthy state next season." 토토사이트
Hanwha is speeding up the formation of foreign players by acquiring Peña for $1.05 million and Jonada Peraza for $1 million. A foreign pitcher is empty, but Ricardo Sanchez, the existing pitcher, is on hold for now. When a better pitcher is released in the market within the time the team thinks, it is drawing a picture of holding hands with a new face or accompanying Sanchez.
As Hanwha aims to advance to the post season next season, it is important to form a one-two punch for foreigners who will lead the starting lineup along with Peña. Since there are many variables in the Korean starting lineup other than Moon Dong-ju, the Korean team should be solid as well as foreign pitchers. For now, the team put out the urgent fire by catching Peña who can win 30 games to 10 games or more. Attention is focusing on whether Peña will be able to continue its reputation as a strong foreign player next season.
Concerns about Son Heung-min's back Injury
Manager Anji Postecoglou of Tottenham Hotspur in England expressed concern over Son's physical condition after the last match. Son Heung-min left the bench in the 43rd minute of the second half as he felt uncomfortable during the match against West Ham on Dec. 8. Son bumped into opponent defender Vladimir Coufal around the 37th minute of the second half and was shocked at the waist.
Coach Postecoglou said in a press conference ahead of the match against Newcastle, "Son Heung-min was in some pain after the match against West Ham," adding, "We have to see his physical condition before the match against Newcastle."
The media outlet said, "Tottenham has recently failed to win three consecutive home games and five Premier League matches, and its fans are desperately trying to stop its slump. Son limped off the ground just before the game ended. However, Tottenham manager did not update Son at the pre-match press conference." He also predicted that if Hishalysong returns, he could return to one-top, and Son could end up as a wing forward. 스포츠토토
The same was true of Sky Sports. "Tottenham captain Son Heung-min is expected to be able to play in the Super Sunday game between Tottenham and Newcastle despite his back injury. Son said he hopes he will be fine this weekend," Sky Sports said.
Currently, Tottenham is missing Ivan Perisic, Manor Solomon, Ryan Sessegnon, James Maddison, Mickey van de Ben, Rodrigo Bentancur, Ashley Phillips and Alfie Whiteman. Recently, Roselso's mid-range shot or wing-forward Kulusevski are struggling, but if the league's third-largest top scorer is missing, the hit will be a big deal.
For Klinsmann, it is more important than Tottenham. In Klinsmann, Son Heung-min is more irreplaceable than Tottenham. The fact that Son Heung-min is missing means that he has to give up his performance at the Asian Cup.
Manager Klinsmann gives Son a free roll and leaves the offense itself to Son.
Son's role is to encompass the entire team. Son played in international matches wearing an orbital fracture and a mask at the Qatar World Cup in November last year, but suffered a serious slump at the Tottenham Hotspur.
Lim Hye-dong, Kim Ha-sung Go to Casino with Money and Buy Cars and Luxury Goods
While Kim Ha-sung 28, San Diego Padres, a professional baseball player playing in the U.S. Major League, is engaged in a truth battle with Lim Hye-dong 27, a junior baseball player when he was with the Nexen Heroes, Lim Hye-dong has been living a luxurious life with the money he received from Kim Ha-sung. In addition, Lim Hye-dong is said to have received money from other big leaguers in the same way.
On the 11th, Dispatch released a Kakao Talk message that Lim Hye-dong had with Kim Ha-sung and acquaintances. According to the disclosed conversation, Lim Hye-dong was a special brother and sister to Kim Ha-sung. In addition, Lim Hye-dong actively appealed to Kim Ha-sung that he wanted to go to the U.S. together.
In July 2020, Kim Ha-sung arranged Lim Hye-dong's joining test, and Lim Hye-dong said, "I'm always grateful that you helped me play baseball." In addition, Kim Ha-sung paid Lim Hye-dong a few times between October and December 2020 by sending him a taxi fee because he was worried about his younger brother who was drinking.
On the last day of 2020, Lim Hye-dong sent a long New Year's greeting to Kim Ha-sung, saying, "Let's achieve the American dream together." Later, in February 2021, Kim Ha-sung spent his own money and took Lim Hye-dong to the U.S. as a manager. His monthly salary was 3 million won, and he paid for his meal separately by giving him a metal card.
However, Lim Hye-dong's American Dream came to an end in about 50 days. He returned home in April, and in May, he told Kim Ha-sung that his father had collapsed.
This month, Lim Hye-dong started disclosing the rumors and claimed that she slept on the sofa for two months in the U.S. However, according to Kim Ha-sung, there were four Kim Ha-sung, interpreter, agent, and Lim Hye-dong. "I couldn't find a house in a hurry because I couldn't guarantee to join the big league," Kim Ha-sung said. "I asked him to bear the inconvenience even if it was uncomfortable."
Unable to find a hotel, they stayed at a hotel more than 20 minutes away from the camp. "As a professional player, Kim used a room alone, and interpreter and agent team leader slept on the same bed," Kim said. "So Lim slept on the sofa bed in the living room." The sofa Lim used was a bed that she could use as a bed.
In addition, Lim Hye-dong complained of pain, saying, "I have never slept in the United States for more than four hours," but according to the conversation between Kim Ha-sung and Lim Hye-dong, Lim Hye-dong enjoyed personal time, including using a hotel swimming pool during Kim Ha-sung's exercise time.
"When I was driving, Kim Ha-sung hit me in the back of the head and slapped me. This is too ordinary," Kim Ha-sung said. "I got my driver's license in September 2020 and went to the U.S. in February 2021," Kim Ha-sung said. "I didn't drive much because Lim Hye-dong was a novice driver. Kim Ha-sung or the agent drove more."
The drinking session that led to Lim Hye-dong's demand for a settlement, claiming that he was assaulted by Kim Ha-sung, was in February 2021, when gatherings of more than five people were banned due to COVID-19. At that time, Kim Ha-sung drank with more than five people, including Lim Hye-dong and other baseball players.
According to Kim Ha-sung, Lim Hye-dong said, "I will report it to the police and the Military Manpower Administration and inform the media. I won't let Kim Ha-sung play baseball in the U.S. I called the Military Manpower Administration and they said if Kim Ha-sung is punished, he should join the military. Let's see if I have a lot to lose or if Kim Ha-sung has a lot to lose. Kim Ha-sung threatened his agency, saying, "I'm a person who will make tens of billions of dollars in the Major League in the future, and I think I'll be rewarded with about 1 billion won." 토토
Regarding Lim Hye-dong's claim that he was assaulted by Kim Ha-sung, a baseball player who was with him at the drinking party that day, said, "There was a physical fight, and they were pushing each other. Kim Ha-sung and Lim Hye-dong left for the U.S. together the day after the drinking party, and who would swing their fists ahead of their advance to the big league?" He also testified, "After the drinking party that day, I went to a sauna. Lim Hye-dong apologized and the two went to the U.S. the next day."
Regarding Kim Ha-sung's giving a total of 400 million won to Lim Hye-dong, 200 million won in 2021 and 2022, Kim Ha-sung said, "The unilateral assault was not true, but the violation of the quarantine law was true," adding, "I was scared to find out the truth at the time. I'm sorry."
Lim showed off her luxuriousness with the money she received from Kim Ha-sung to social media and acquaintances. "She changed cars, went to casinos, and bought luxury bags. I thought she really got paid," she said, revealing her Kakao Talk message conversation with Lim.
Lim Hye-dong bragged by sending B a photo that he took at the casino. He also bragged about buying a luxury bag.
Im Hye-dong is also said to have threatened another big leaguer this year to receive the money. The exact amount is not known.
Nevada regulator recommends Hooters casino permit
The new Hooters Casino Hotel, scheduled to open in Las Vegas in early February, was approved by Nevada regulators on Thursday after company executives predicted it would succeed with a "joyfully rustic but unrefined" marketing strategy.
The state gaming control board recommended licensing for the resort as part of the Hooters chain's aggressive diversification after asking questions about its financial outlook, executive background, staffing plans and other details.
There was also a brief discussion about the "Hooters Girls," who wore their trademark tank top and loose shorts to serve food, run a cocktail, and even handle blackjacks in a cheap "fun pit" at the bottom of the casino.
The board's recommendations for the resort's licensing will go to the former Sanremo Hotel, which is currently undergoing $130 million in renovations and financial restructuring, to the parent company's gaming board, which will have final say at a meeting here on Oct. 20.
Control Board Chairman Dennis Nilander said the resort's financial outlook appeared optimistic, but Michael Hesling, the project's chief operating officer and general manager, said he saw it as "pretty conservative."
"It's going to be a property that people want to check out," Hesling said, adding that the resort will benefit from key locations near MGM Grand, New York-New York, Luxor, Excalibur and other Las Vegas Streep large resorts.
Neil Kiefer, CEO of Hooters Casino Hotel, said additional funding could be provided if needed, adding: "Certainly we need to do that."
Director Bobby Siller raised the issue of Hooters girls being women with "certain physical characteristics" and asked how they could fairly distribute tips with other employees who may have lower personal tip incomes.
Hesling replied that not all the details of the tip distribution were resolved. Although Hooters' names seem to match with two things, the website says that there are no physical or other standards for Hooters girls other than their outgoing and friendly personality and "all American cheerleader-surfer-next-door girl image."
The resort will have 690 rooms, 670 slots, 32 table games, three poker games, sports books, and several restaurants and bars. About 500 people are currently working there and will have the opportunity to stay at the new resort. In addition, about 500 employees will be added before the scheduled Feb. 3 opening, Hesling said.
Based in Atlanta, U.S., Hooters acquired the resort last year. In addition to Hooters Air, which serves more than a dozen cities, including Las Vegas, there are more than 375 Hooters in 46 states and 14 foreign countries. 릴게임
