Two news stories with a foundation in Las Vegas as a poker player banned from the 2017 World Series of Poker settles with Caesars Entertainment in court, and Faded Spade extends their partnership with Solve For Why.

Two stories with a Las Vegas link, beginning with a scoop from Brian Pempus over at USBets.

Joe Stiers, a poker player in his mid-30s from Maryland, has settled with Caesars Entertainment in connection with his ban from the 2017 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event.

According to Pempus, Stiers was in a decent spot during Day 3 of the WSOP Main Event, when tournament officials removed him from the competition and kicked him off the property.
