Chan Comes Out Ahead Blind vs Blind

Level 18 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Action folded to Kartik Ved in the small blind who limped. Daniel Chan was in the big blind and decided to check his action to bring out the J?K?7? flop.

Both players quickly checked through to the 7? turn card.

Ved checked over to Chan who decided to toss out a bet worth 9,000. Unconvinced, Ved flicked in the call to see the river bring the 2?.

Ved checked once again and after a brief pause, Chan assembled a bet of 25,000 and tossed it in the middle. Ved thought briefly and checked his cards before making the call just to see the bad news as Chan turned over the winning K?4?, prompting a muck from Ved as the dealer awarded the pot to Chan.

Lena Evans of Poker League of Nations (PLON) was at her second final table of the series after finishing sixth in the Women’s Event, and this time she took eighth place for $1,630. Also at the final table were Jason Patton (5th - $3,205) and Nader Hatem (4th - $4,170).

The final three players worked a deal that saw them each take $8,257 in prize money, while Soren Lundgren was crowned the official champion.

Leng Wins A Small One

Level 18 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Ryan Leng raised to 13,000 from the hijack and found a single caller in Michael Miller from the big blind before seeing the flop come Q?10?8?.

Miller checked over to Leng who continued with a bet of 9,000. Miller decided to make the call and watch the J? hit the turn.

Miller checked over to Leng again, but this time, Leng checked back to see the K? fall on the river.

Both players checked through to showdown and Leng showed the J?4?, beating the 10?7? of Miller and allowing Leng to collect a small pot.

Tanouye Eliminated by Hart's River Ace

Level 18 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Jeffrey Tanouye was all in for roughly 100,000 on the button and at risk against Brent Hart in early position.

Jeffrey Tanouye: 10?10?
Brent Hart: A?K?

The 8?7?4? flop was a safe one for Tanouye and so was the 3? turn, but the A? spiked the river and Tanouye made his exit.

One of the bigger buy-in tournaments of the 2023 NAPT was the $5,300 Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO), which offered a single re-entry. The tournament attracted 41 runners which meant a $198,850 prize pool was up for grabs to the top six finishers.

The field was filled with four-card crushers, but only a half dozen were fortunate enough to cash including Matthew Wantman (6th - $13,920), David Coleman (5th - $17,895), and Dan Shak (4th - $22,870).

After Spencer Simpson bowed out in third place for $30,820, the title came down to Caleb Furth and Neffa Pire. Eventually, the former prevailed to claim the title and $68,605 top prize.

Action Flops Sees Reknar Bust Moreno & Glendinning

Level 18 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Andrew Moreno
Andrew Moreno

In a three-way pot on a flop of 7?9?8?, Andrew Moreno checked and Girish Reknar also checked as Jonathan Glendinning bet 16,000. Moreno called and Reknar check-raised to 50,000. Glendinning called and Moreno took some time before back-jamming a stack of 129,000.

Reknar went in the tank before moving all in for around 320,000 and Glendinning thought it through before calling off with his stack of around 200,000.

Andrew Moreno: 6?5?
Jonathan Glendinning: 7?7?
Girish Reknar: Q?10?

It was quite the cooler as Moreno had the lower end of the straight and Glendinning had bottom set, while Reknar had a flush draw and open-ended straight draw. The 6? turn gave Reknar the flush and the A? river failed to pair the board for a double elimination in one of the biggest pots of the day.
