Level 4 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Just after M.B. became Day 1a's first elimination, Gary Carter three-bet to 4,000 from the small blind, stringing Andrew Lewis along to the J♥J♠J♣ flop. Carter continued for 3,000, seeing Lewis call.

Lewis called again when Carter sized up to 7,000 on the 9♥ turn. Carter then slowed down on the 3♣ river, checking it over to Lewis. Lewis quickly announced an all-in bet, covering Carter's 27,500 remaining chips.

Carter instantly flung his cards into the muck, and Lewis revealed A♠5♠ as he dragged the pot.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Ling Chen limped in from middle position, and Jack Jaeger followed suit in late position. Wai Yin Wan completed his small blind before Andrew Cowley bumped it up to 3,600 from the big blind.

Chen and Jaeger both called, while Wan opted to fold preflop. The remaining trio then checked through the 10♠2♦A♥ flop, after which Cowley bet 5,200 on the 9♥ turn.

Chen and Jaeger tossed in more calling chips, prompting Cowley to check the Q♠ river. Chen bet 12,000, which was enough to let Jaeger go of his hand. Cowley instantly called, however.

Chen showed Q♦10♣ for two pair, but it was no good against the A♦Q♣ of Cowley, who had rivered a higher two pair for the winning hand.

Player	Chips	Progress
Andrew Cowley	80,600 30,600	30,600
Wai Yin Wan	45,000 5,000	5,000
Jack Jaeger	41,000 9,000	9,000

Chad Holloway

Level 4 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

In the 925th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway is once again joined by Mike Holtz and Ben Ludlow at Level 9 Studios to talk the latest stories in the poker world. That includes the massive $1.3 million pot from a special episode of High Stakes Poker, one that saw Alan Keating try to execute a huge bluff. Was it a valiant effort or an ill-timed move?

The trio also offers their thoughts on the topic of "Should poker tournaments start earlier?", which was being discussed on social media by Seth Davies and Jason Koon. Speaking of the latter, you'll get to see highlights from 'All In with Jason Koon' from the 2025 PokerStars NAPT, as well as a look at Comedy Night with Joe "Stapes" Stapleton and RunGood Trivia Night with Boston Rob Mariano and Tyson Apostol of Survivor fame. Chad actually caught up with the two reality TV legends for a poker trivia game of his own.

In other NAPT news, Jeremy Ausmus beat quad aces with a Royal Flush, Nikolai Mamut defeated TJ Reid to win the NAPT PokerStars Open, and Stephen Chidwick, Cherish Andrews, and Raena Janes all took down titles. Finally, get a preview of upcoming stops, including the next Hendon Mob Championship in Cape Town and the RGPS Grand Prix San Diego

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Picking up the action on a K♥A♥10♣6♠ turn, Dale Wilson checked from middle position to Lin Chen in the hijack, who checked behind.

Wilson then fired a pot-sized bet of 11,000 on the 6♣ river. Chen needed a minute of thought before he called.

Wilson tabled A♦9♦ for aces and sixes with a king kicker, and Chen played the same hand with A♠Q♥ to split the pot.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Csaba Kovacs raised to 1,400 on the button. P.S. called in the big blind, and check-called when Kovacs continued for 900 on the 2♦Q♠3♦ flop.

Kovacs sized up to 2,200 on the 9♣ turn, which P.S. check-raised to 6,000. Kovacs obliged with a call, leading to the 7♠ river.

P.S. continued betting, tossing 7,000 in the middle. After some thought, Kovacs let go of his hand, surrendering the pot to P.S.
