Both live and online events have featured in the Power Path since its launch last summer, with Special Edition Gold Passes sending lucky players to the NAPT and Las Vegas Grand Prix last December.

Here’s look at the various Passes on offer, including both Gold and Silver Passes to EPT Monte Carlo and the upcoming Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP).

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Hirokazu Kobayashi opened to 20,000 under the gun, only to be faced with a three-bet to 51,000 from Simeon Naydenov in middle position. Brice Guido cold-called in the next seat, while Kobayashi folded.

On the 7♣J♦8♠ flop Naydenov checked to Guido, who slid out a bet of 24,000. Naydenov folded quickly, and Guido showed J♣J♠ for top set.
