Poker Pro and Media Predict WSOP Main Event Final Table

The 2015 World Series Poker Main Event Final Table begins Sunday night at the Rio All Suite Hotel & Casino, and in line with true Las Vegas tradition, we're doing our best to find the winner.

But instead of simply relying on the casino city editors" vast knowledge of poker, they decided to reach out to a group of poker experts and media members to ask their thoughts on who would win and how it all would unfold.

While most people are asking for Joe McKeon to grab his super chip lead and ride it all the way to the main event bracelet, some are asking for anger. One thing everyone we've reached agreed on is that we'll be on another attractive final table thanks to an eclectic Nov. 9 group of people of all different ages, nationalities, experiences and personalities.

Chris Moneymaker – 2003 WSOP Main Event Champion
I do the math and go with Joe McKeon for the win. He has a decent chip lead and knows how to use it. He's going to be hard to beat. I don't know many of the other players well, but I think Joe will try to punish the table with his stack and he's probably the most successful given the balance of the other stack. With players being coached or changing strategies before the table starts, I would imagine at least one player would hit back at Joe a lot and adapt early.

I love that Pierre Neuville comes second in terms of experience and karma. I'm a bit biased because I think he's a great guy and the only one I know personally. He has all the games to go all the way and plays very well in his "tight old man" image.

Joe Cada – 2009 WSOP Main Event Champion and two-time WSOP Bracelet winner
I think Joseph McKeon will win the main event this year. I've seen and heard of the incredible calls he's made in every single contest, and I don't think he'll shy away from the instinct that put him where he is. He also has a lot of chip leads on the field, so of course he'll help!

I think Max Steinberg will take second place. I think Max has a lot of experience in grinding and has a lot of chips to push him to second place. I don't know anyone at the final table, so I'm interested in how it goes. I think it would be nice to see an older guy win this year.

Kara Scott – professional poker player and sideline reporter for ESPN's WSOP coverage
I try to avoid having a favorite person on the air, but that might get in the way of being as neutral as possible on ESPN cameras. But frankly, Joe has a tremendous stack and a great poker game. Not only does he pass the finals well, he's also a great closer. Based on his record, he reservations a lot of time to go deep into the game. It will make him very hard to beat.

When it comes to who can win second place, this is really anyone's game. I know everyone has been working on it to come to the table as ready as possible, but a lot depends on how things go at night and how the cards break. I'm just as excited to see how this goes!

I'm wondering how splitting the final table over three nights instead of two can affect the play. This can really help some players by not needing enough physical strength in felt, but it can destroy the flow of the game so they can play against others. They need to adapt to the specific situations this final table gives them as well as playing the big final table.

Just being on that stage for the last five years is the most incredible atmosphere I've ever seen in a poker game. It's a massive theater filled with people who were screaming, cheering, honking, whistling for hours on end. This is not only spectacular, it's also the most serious poker game you'll ever see.

Allen Kessler – professional poker player, owner of three WSOP circuit rings
I don't like the way Thomas Canuli plays. He didn't play exceptionally well, but he was very lucky to miss some good situations. Neil Blumenfield should have already been out three or four times. He was lucky enough to not play all-in, so he somehow panicked. Federico Butteroni is too tentative with his decision. Pierre Neuville is too loose, but if he's lucky or no one hits back at him, it could be a hell of a feat.

Max Steinberg and Joe McKeon are definitely the best players. I'd love to see Max and Joe play beforehand. John Racener – 2010 WSOP Main Event Runner-up, 1 owner of WSOP Circuit Ring
I'm talking about Joe McKeon at the contest on November 9 this year. When they hold three or four hands, the chip count will be tighter. I think his experience and skill level will make a difference until the very end and he will be our new champion.

We've always been friends, and we love playing OFC in each other's rooms on poker trips, so when we sat at his table on the fifth day of the main event, we made funny jokes for each other. Later that afternoon we moved to the side feature table and he ended up hitting me on national television. We were all in a free-flop with my pocket queens on his A-K. He hit an ace in the river to end my chances on another Nov. 9. After he grabbed me, I told my poker teammates Justin Zaki, Jared Jaffey, and Chris Haydn I thought he was going to win this one. 바카라사이트 추천

I said it with 150 players left. Pretty bold words. Now look at what we're saying. I felt like the balance of his hands being played, his image on our table, his experience, his skills, and chip stack would put him in an amazing position to be a champion.

I'm thinking of joining a little underdog in second place, but I can see Thomas Cannolly piling up and finishing second. I haven't had the chance to play with him, but I've always figured out my surroundings in the poker room, and how focused he is at a nearby table. Also, from some of the updates I've made with his hands, he seems to have great instincts, which is a big key to success as a poker player.

He often comes up with his style and how he plays with swagger. I think he has exciting and talented rails. It never hurts when you try to win.

Las Vegas Welcomes World's Largest Hooter at Palm's Casino Resort

With more than 400 locations in 42 states and 26 countries, Hooters varies in size, style, and content. Last week, the iconic restaurant chain, known for hosting waitresses dressed in colorful chicken wings, bright orange shorts, and white tank tops, celebrated the grand opening of its largest branch in the world, the Palm's Casino Resort in Sin City.

This spacious two-story building of 15,200 square feet is one step from the resort's swimming pool section and can accommodate more than 400 guests. Nearly 50 televisions decorate the walls, and there are 12 video poker machines in the bar.

On September 15, at a private grand opening event, guests joined the season's first NFL Monday Night Football game and mingled with professional BMX riders Ricardo Laguna and TJ Lavigne.

"Vegas is the perfect environment for the Hooters region, which is the largest in the world," said Mark Whittle, senior vice president of global development in the U.S. at the Hooters. "The energy at the Palm Casino Resort perfectly matches the atmosphere of the beach oasis, which the Hooters are known for all over the world."

Palm President and CEO Todd Greenberg added, "As an entertainment capital, Las Vegas is no stranger to iconic restaurants, and we are thrilled to have Hooters join this ranks at Palms." 파워볼사이트

The Hooters at Farms features the latest modern comfort design elements, from the tremendous bar experience with comfortable booths and high backrest chairs to the top-of-the-line AV package with sleek finishes and nearly 50 TVs. Both the centrally located restaurant and the pullside bar area offer a wide range of cocktail, craft beer and wine options.

Mohegan Sun Announces Two-Year Sky Tower Renovation Project

With construction underway on the 400-room, $130-million Earth Tower, which opened in the fall of 2016, Mohegan Sun is announcing a two-year project to renovate the Sky Tower, an existing 1,200-room hotel it introduced in 2002. Part of the plan includes a multi-million dollar renovation and rebranding of the existing spa combined with a brand-new mandala spa that was built as part of the new Earth Tower. Continuing to provide guests with the best amenities available, Mohegan Sun announced the introduction of Victoria's Secret to The Shops at Mohegan Sun, three new meal offerings, and an exclusive hybrid fusion game.

Estimated to be $50 million when completed overall, the Sky Renovation Project will include standard and junior suite renovations, including new carpets, wall coverings, casework furniture, and textiles. The rooms will also feature a new electronic tray arrangement instead of a mini bar and refrigerator as well as an iPad, and offer guests a variety of services, including menu boards, thermostats, room service orders, and TV controls. For the convenience of guests, motion-sensing lights will be installed under the end table and will automatically turn on once guests get out of bed. Hotel hallway and lobby furniture will also be updated as part of the project.

"At Mohegan Sun, we are committed to continuously providing fresh and appealing offerings," says Ray Pineault, President & General Manager of Mohegan Sun. "These enhancements are a few examples of our dedication to evolve and steadily exceed the expectations of our valued guests."

Mohegan Sun is working with Steiner Leisure Limited to bring Mandara Spa to two separate locations on-property. This global spa brand was established in Bali, Indonesia and is a pioneer of tropical, multi-cultural spa experience rooted in the Balinese tradition of healing touches. The Sky Tower's existing 22,000 square foot Elemis Spa will undergo a complete renovation and rebranding to become a Mandara Spa, which is projected to be complete in 2017. Set to open this fall, the new Mandara Spa location is in development within the Earth Tower and will feature seven total treatment rooms. Featuring world-renowned, premium spa offerings, the addition of having two Mandara Spas on property will significantly elevate the brand's guest experience in a way that truly defines modern indulgence.

"We are privileged to embark on this journey with Mohegan Sun Hotel, presenting a new spa brand and expanded spa facilities that will afford hotel and casino guests with another luxury experience on property," said Leonard Fluxman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Steiner Leisure Limited. "The Mandara Spa brand has a global footprint, and its debut at Mohegan Sun will not only introduce innovative treatment and product offerings, but will also fuse time-honored Balinese traditions with regional influences for an unparalleled spa experience." 온라인카지노사이트

Adding to the retail offerings, Mohegan Sun has partnered with Victoria's Secret to open a new location in The Shops at Mohegan Sun, coming this fall, and earlier this month, welcomed The Art of Shaving, a premium barber spa and shop. Later this summer, Tom's Urban, will open with an innovative travel inspired menu and over 40 beers on tap. More restaurant offerings will include a sit down waiter serviced Asian restaurant, Jumbo Oriental, is set to open featuring Chinese, Vietnamese, and Southern Asian offerings, infused with authentic flavors that melt deep into each dish.

In addition to the Sky Tower renovations, Hybrid Fusion games have launched inside Sunrise Square, with more to be installed in Casino of the Sky by the end of June 2016. A Hybrid Fusion game involves live blackjack, roulette and baccarat dealers' hands to be broadcasted onto a monitor sitting in front of the player as well as a 50" screen above the stadium. This technology will allow players to play designated games of blackjack, roulette, or baccarat at the same time.

"Mohegan Sun Connecticut will be the first in the United States to offer the blackjack Hybrid Fusion game, which truly sets us apart in the industry," says Ray Pineault, President & General Manager of Mohegan Sun. "Guests will now be able to participate in four of their favorite games at once, which enhances their experience at our world-class casinos." Casino of the Sky will have a total of 41 seats for guests, while Sunrise Square will have 20 seats.
