9 Jun 2023

(PRESS RELEASE) -- The excitement continues as the 54th annual World Series of Poker wraps its second week of play at Horseshoe Las Vegas and Paris Las Vegas. As the dust settles, week two played witness to remarkable displays of skill and prowess, high-stakes drama, and highly-calculated bluffs featuring new champions, star-studded heads up play, and a dream realized by Isaac Haxton, who was widely considered one of the best active players without a bracelet.

Week 2 Highlights
