Stamm Battles Back; Lonis Stays Hot
The list of late runners that joined on Day 2 was a queue of notable players, including Seth Davies, Pete Chen, John Morgan, John Hennigan, Ethan “Rampage” Yau, Nick Schulman, Andrew Lichtenberger, Kristen Foxen, Michael Wang, and WSOP Main Event champion Ryan Riess. However, the lone player from the field of late entries who will return for Day 2 is the chip leader.
Stamm played on Day 1 and he could not find a bag, but he returned for late registration at the start of Day 2 with much better luck. It was steady going all day for Stamm, but he made his move in the late levels with a series of double-ups that took him from 64,000 to over 600,000 in a matter of minutes. He eventually crossed the one-million mark, but Stamm will return with 852,000 for Day 3 and a chance to add to his $1.3 million in career earnings with a win at the first NAPT in 12 years.
Lonis will also return with 374,000 and a chance to add more accolades to what is already a career year. It’s been a torrid 2023 for the young pro, who started his 2023 with a run to 36th in the PCA Main Event and a win in the $10,200 PSPC Warm Up. He also cashed 17 times at the 2023 WSOP, including a win for his second gold bracelet in the $50,000 PLO High Roller. Lonis picked up his first in September of 2022 in the $1,000 NLH 6-Max during the WSOP Online series.
Aido, the Day 1 chip leader, remains with a bag of 354,000 for Day 3. Aido has several cashes in 2023, including five at the WSOP, but he is looking for his first six-figure score of the year.
The man with no shortage of six-figure scores in 2023 is Collopy, who won the $1,500 Omaha 8 event at this year’s WSOP. Collopy has just over $6 million in career earnings, according to the Hendon Mob. Soverel, who has over $22 million in career earnings, will return in second place after a late run up the leaderboard.
Final Table Highlights
The final nine players broke into the unofficial final table for bubble play with eight players slated to be paid a min-cash of $22,890. It was Alex Milgrom who couldn’t survive the bubble after a big hand with Morgan left him with crumbs. Morgan had pocket nines against the kings of Milgrom, but a river nine sent put the Frenchman on the ropes and he was gone just before the players broke for dinner.
The final eight players returned and Shannon Shorr was the first to go when his Big Slick couldn’t improve against the pocket kings of Soverel. Shorr hit the rail in eighth place for $22,890, capping off a recent stretch that saw him win his first two WSOP gold bracelets in the recent online series.
Morgan was lively in final table play, but he couldn’t get it going before he got the last of his dwindling stack in with a suited queen-eight. Green called with ace-queen, and Morgan was out in seventh place for $28,615. The Minnesota native added a few bucks to his $1.1 million in career tournament winnings.
The final six players battled it out for the final two levels without an elimination, and Stamm moved into the lead after his impressive run.
They will return on Tuesday at 12:30 p.m. with blinds at 10,000/15,000/15,000 to play down to a winner.

Stamm To Infinity
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
David Stamm opened to 40,000 in the small blind and James Collopy called in the big blind.
Both players checked on the flop of 5♠8♣9♦ and again on the 8♦ turn. They checked again on the 6♠ river and Stamm showed Q♠10♦ to lose out to the king-high of Collopy with K♦J♥.
A few hands earlier, Stamm engaged in some friendly table conversation with Sam Soverel.
"What are you listening to? What's on?" asked Soverel.
"Infinity. Do you know that song? 'Infinity, infinity'," sang Stamm.
A few minutes later, Stamm had another inquiry.
"Slam the F***ing Door. Do you know that song?"

Lonis Finds an Ace
Level 20
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Jesse Lonis raised to 25,000 and Richard Green was the lone caller from the big glind.
The flop was 7♣J♥A♠ and Green check-called a 22,000 bet from Lonis.
Both players checked the 5♦ turn to see 2♣ on the river. Green bet 42,000 and Lonis called. Lonis turned over A♣3♣ for a pair of aces while Green flashed what looked like 10x10x and tossed it in the muck.

PokerNews will be on hand with live reports and other stories from the NAPT, just like in 2010, so there is a sense that history is repeating itself as PokerStars once again establishes its highly-anticipated North American tour.
