The Kostelac Cooler
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Bin Weng opened from under the gun to 4,000 before he got a call in the cutoff from John Kostelac, the button, and both of the blinds called.
The 2♥7♠7♦ flop landed and action checked to Kostelac who bet 5,000. The big blind called and then Weng check-raised to 15,000. Kostelac and the big blind both called.
The turn brought a 9♠ and without much thought the big blind moved all in for about 32,000. Weng went into the tank but eventually found a call. Kostelac then moved in for less.
John Kostelac: 2♣2♦
Big Blind: 7♥8♥
Bin Weng: J♠10♠
All of the players were live but the 6♠ river would give Kostelac a pure triple and the spade river would earn Weng a small side pot. The big blind would be sent to the rail.

Push From Porter In Position
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
There was an early position open to 5,000 before Andrew Porter put in a cold three-bet from the button to 12,000. The original raiser called.
The Q♦A♥10♠ flop hit the felt and action checked to Porter who continued for 7,000. His opponent called.
The 5♥ landed on the turn and it was checked to Porter again. He took more time and then landed on a bet of 13,000.
His opponent went into the tank for almost two minutes before finally finding a fold. Porter dragged the pot after some well timed aggression in position.

Cao Gets Miracle River
Level 10
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
There was a middle position open to 3,500 before Nhan Cao went all in from the button for about 19,000. It folded back to the original raiser who called and the cards hit their backs.
Nhan Cao: 6♦6♠
Middle Position: K♠K♦
The 10♣A♦5♥ flop hit the felt and Cao started to get up and put on his jacket. The A♣ turn paired the board and Cao wished the table good luck as he began to gather his things. That's when the dealer burned and turned the 6♣ river and the table went nuts.
Cao smiled as he gained new life in the tournament and would continue to battle the very next hand.

Viva Las Vegas! The PokerStars NAPT Returns on November 4
Level 10
: 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
The PokerStars North American Poker Tour (NAPT) is returning after a 12-year hiatus, and where better to get the show on the road than fabulous Las Vegas? November 4-12 are the dates to highlight in your diaries because that is when NAPT Las Vegas heads to Resorts World in "Sin City."
The 2023 NAPT Las Vegas takes place just one week before the most anticipated Formula 1 Grand Prix in history, which takes place through the streets of Las Vegas. PokerStars will be there, Oracle Red Bull Racing will be there, will you?
Although primarily aimed at the North American market, the NAPT is open to all, and PokerNews expects players to travel from far and wide to get involved in this historic rebirth. A $1,650 buy-in NAPT Las Vegas Main Event runs from November 6-11, and a $550 PokerStars Cup is scheduled for November 9-12, with a $5,300 High Roller attracting the biggest names between November 10-12. The full 2023 NAPT Las Vegas schedule will be released in due course.
Steve Preiss, Vice President for PokerStars North America, cannot wait for the first NAPT in 12 years to shuffle up and deal at Resorts World.
"We are delighted to announce the return of this iconic series and once again hold the NAPT for poker players in North America. We're working hard to ensure this is a spectacular series and can't wait to head to Las Vegas to get the show on the road."

Bullock Rips it in
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Jason Bullock opened to 2,500 from middle position before the cutoff three-bet to 8,000. It folded all the way back to Bullock who called and they were off to a flop.
The 2♠3♣Q♦ landed on the flop and Bullock checked to the cutoff who continued for 8,000. Without much thought Bullock check-raised all in for about 30,000. His opponent only took a second before folding.
Bullock dragged the pot and is on his way back up after being short.
