The buzz inside the walls of the Rio extends beyond just the tournaments on the 2013 World Series of Poker schedule. Online poker in Nevada is a very, very hot topic right now, and WSOP.com is making a lot of noise.

Wow! What a river card! David Pham may not agree, but Jamie Rosen certainly will.
We joined the action on the ![]()
![]()
![]()
where Rosen and Pham entered a raising war that resulted in Rosen being all in and at risk of elimination. Rosen showed ![]()
for tip aces, but was crushed by the ![]()
of Pham who had turned a boat.
"Nice hand," said a deflated Rosen as he rose from his chair and started to gather his belongings.
However, he had to sit back down because the river was the
, improving Rosen to a bigger full house and leaving Pham to hand over all but 46,000 of his stack. Ouch!

Minutes after Antonio Lafosse tilted him a bit with a delayed call holding two pair, Scott Baumstein has hit the rail, with none other than Lafosse doing the deed.
Earlier, we witnessed Lafosse tank-call Baumstein's river bet with two pair, and this seemed suspiciously like a slowroll to Baumstein, who was visibly upset by his opponent's actions.
Just a few hands later, Baumstein moved all in before the flop with his ![]()
, and it was Lafosse who looked him up with ![]()
. A clean run out of ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
later, and a still heated Baumstein was headed for the payout desk, his stack already being collected by his nemesis.

John Juanda called an all-in bet from a short-stacked Matt Perrins with his ![]()
, but found that he was dominated by the ![]()
.
When the flop fell ![]()
![]()
the hand appeared to favor Perrins' big slick, but a
on the turn suddenly provided Juanda with additional options. He now needed any spade to make the nut flush, or any jack to make the Broadway straight.
River: ![]()
Poker can be a cruel game, and Perrins found this out in the worst way, losing to a runner-runner flush after the flop made him a 92% to win the hand.
