But gambling is not the only reason why you may want to visit Philly. Philadelphia, the capital of PA, has the largest density of casinos. This state legalised commercial gambling in 2004, and since then, has attracted massive gambling tourism. Cohen had to settle for second place and $88,067 in prize money.Pennsylvania has the second largest commercial casino revenue in the US, behind Nevada. The flop was safe for Cohen, but a king on the turn would seal the deal for Ross.

The two were deep but that didn’t stop them from playing for it all in a six-bet pot. The former had 14.375 million in chips to the latter’s 17.125 million. Ryan Hagerty then met his demise failing to get there with queen-nine against the ace-five of Ross, and sometime later it was Ross dispatching Sam Ganzfried in fourth place spiking a seven on the river holding nine-seven all in preflop against his opponent’s king-eight.Īfter Jason Deutsch bowed out in third place – the results of getting it in on the turn with top pair only to have Ross river a spade flush – the heads-up match was set between Cohen and Ross. Lulov got it in with Big Slick and lost a race against Mike Cohen’s pocket sevens to bow out in sixth place. Just before the dinner break, the short-stacked Harder bowed out losing a all-in preflop race with fives against Lulov’s ace-six, and after the remaining players ate it was time for Lulov, the start-of-day chip leader, to follow him out the door. Two and a half hours later, Eric Most succumbed after three-bet jamming with ace-jack only to have Brandon Lulov roll over pocket aces. Not long into the final table, Parker Rodriguez busted his short stack after losing a flip with ace-king to Christian Harder’s two red jacks.
