Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Richard Alati
Richard Alati

According to the table, Dongwoo Ko opened to 600 in the cutoff, Rich Alati flatted the button, and Ryan Monahan defended the big blind.

The dealer fanned out the A?4?2? flop and Monahan checked. Ko bet 1,000, Alati raised to 3,000, and Monahan jammed for about 16,000. Ko folded and Alati called.

Ryan Monahan: 4?4?
Rich Alati: A?K?

The 2? fell on the turn and Monahan gave a fist pump as he made a full house, but the A? spiked the river to give Alati a superior full house, and Monahan was eliminated.

So, what is (or was) the North American Poker Tour? Here's a brief guide to what you missed if you hadn't followed the NAPT from 2010-2011.

Gollins In, Betito Out

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Joyace Owens
Joyace Owens

Just before the break started, Chistina Gollins took her seat on the same table as Maria Konnikova. Joyace Owens has been seated at the table next to it since the start of the tournament.

She had limped in from the early position for Liran Betito to shove on the button. The blinds folded and Owens asked for a count. The dealer confirmed Betito had 6,200 in front of him. Owens called.

Liran Betito: K?9?
Joyace Owens: A?5?

The flop came 2?9?K? for Betito to hit two pair.

The turn was the 5? for Owens to hit a pair of her own, but the A? on the river gave her the higher two pair to eliminate Betito for now.

Lautenbacher Stays Alive

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

The flop read Q?K?5? and Zong Soh had bet 2,200. Cade Lautenbacher jammed his last 5,000 over the line for Soh to make the call.

Cade Lautenbacher: Q?Q?
Zong Soh: A?9?

When Lautenbacher showed his cards, Soh tried to muck but the dealer reminded him that all cards need to be shown in an all-in situation so he flipped his cards over too.

Lautenbacher had flopped a set while Soh had ace-high.

The rest of the board was completed with the 3? on the turn and the 4? on the river to keep Lautenbacher alive in the tournament and double up.
