It's deja vu for Rangers fans who are interested in traveling down to Raleigh, NC to see their team take on the Carolina Hurricanes at PNC Arena in the second round of the NHL playoffs.
Just like in 2022, when the Blueshirts won the series in seven games, fans from outside of the North Carolina area are not allowed to purchase tickets to the games at PNC Arena on the Hurricanes website. Upon finalizing their purchase of tickets, fans are met with this disclaimer:
PNC Arena is located in Raleigh, NC. Sales to this event will be restricted to residents of North Carolina, South Carolina and southern parts of Virginia. Residency will be based on credit card billing address. Orders by residents outside North Carolina, South Carolina and southern Virginia will be canceled without notice and refunds given.
The Hurricanes are scheduled to host Games 3, 4, and 6 (if necessary) of the series.
As of Wednesday night, there are still plenty of tickets available for all potential games at PNC Arena on the Hurricanes' website. The cheapest available ticket was $139 and there were a handful for under $150.
Meanwhile, Rangers fans have purchased all available tickets on the team website for potential games and the only tickets available are for expensive resale prices (lowest at $473.55 for section 419). The Rangers' website does not have restrictions when going to purchase tickets.
The dates and times for the second round series have not been announced yet. However, for interested Rangers fans, it appears that you can buy tickets for games at PNC Arena through the secondary market on sites like StubHub and SeatGeek (with some as low as $126).
This is the third time the two teams have met in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, with the Rangers winning in 2022 and the Hurricanes sweeping New York in the best-of-5 Stanley Cup Qualifiers in 2020. The Rangers won the season series this year, going 2-1-0 against the Hurricanes in the regular season. So It shouldn't be a surprise if this playoff series goes all seven games again.
Daniel Weinman was crowned winner of the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event on Monday, taking home a record breaking $12.1 million in winnings. Weinman had to outlast the other 10,043 entrants to take home the prize and get his hands on his share of live poker’s largest ever prize pool – a staggering $93,399,900. As well as taking home the prize money, 35-year-old Weinman also got his hands on the WSOP Main Event bracelet. The huge bracelet contains 500 grams of 10-karat yellow gold, as well as 2,352 various precious gemstones.
Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
