Thomas Brandt raised to 10,000 from under the gun, and was called by Isiah Ditoto in the hijack, Joseph Cashen on the button, and Zachariah Kates in the big blind.
The flop came A♥J♦4♥ and Kates checked to Brandt, who bet out 15,000. Ditoto made the call, while Cashen and Kates both folded.
After the 3♠ on the turn, Brandt checked to Ditoto, who bet out 34,000. Brandt then mucked his hand, to give the pot to Ditoto.
Action was caught on the flop of 5♣7♥7♦ in a hand between Brandon Hall in the cutoff, David Olshan on the button, and Nicholas Verderamo in the big blind.
With 37,500 in the middle, Verderamo checked, Hall bet 11,000, and Olshan called. Verderamo then came over the top with a raise to 33,000, resulting in folds from both of his opponents.
Action was picked up with Gintautas Putinas all in for 55,500, with Parker Talbot calling to put him at risk.
Gintautas Putinas: A♠K♣ 
Parker Talbot: 10♠10♥
Talbot was ahead but would have to win the flip against the two over cards to eliminate Putinas. The flop came J♠Q♥9♣ to give Putinas more outs in the form of a ten to make a straight. Putinas didn't have to wait long as the 10♣ came right in on the river to give Putinas a Broadway straight. Talbot would need the board to pair after turning a set, but the river was the K♠ which confirmed the double up for Putinas.
Level: 15
Blinds: 2,500/5,000
Ante: 5,000
Action folded around to Jimmy Born in the small blind who completed and Parker Talbot raised to 14,000 in the big blind. Born called.
The flop came 6♥4♦K♣ and Born check-called a bet of 13,000 from Talbot, bringing the 3♦ turn which went check-check.
On the 8♠ river, Born led out for 20,000 and Talbot quickly called. Born tabled J♣J♦ for a pair of jacks to scoop the pot.
"That's what you call losing the absolute bare minimum," said Talbot, explaining that he had pocket tens.
Action folded to Edgar Propst in the cutoff, and he raised to 8,000. Then when it folded to the small blind, he three-bet all in for 85,000. It folded back to Propst, who made the call to put the player at risk.
Small Blind: Q♦3♦
Edgar Propst: A♠Q♣
The player into the blind was dominated by Propst and would need help to stay in the tournament. But when the board ran out 2♦7♠9♥6♥10♠ the ace-queen high was still the best hand, and the small blind was eliminated.
Action picked up on the turn in a hand between Nicholas Verderamo in the cutoff and Ben Gazzola in the big blind.
With 23,000 in the pot and the board reading K♣3♣9♥6♠, both players checked to the 7♣ river.
Gazzola checked and Verderamo bet 7,000. Gazzola thought for a moment and made the call.
"Seven," announced Verderamo, as he turned over A♦7♥ for a pair of sevens. Gazzola mucked.
Action folded to Zaid Alwan who raised to 10,000 from the cutoff and was called by Ben Gazzola on the button.
The flop came K♠7♦8♣ and Alwan bet out 10,000, which was called by Gazzola.
After the 4♥ turn, Alwan checked to Gazzola, who bet out 25,000, which got a quick fold from Alwan.
Michael Ryan raised to 11,000 in the hijack, Riva Arthur flatted in the cutoff, and Matthew Mullins moved all in on the button for 46,500, putting himself at risk. Ryan made the call and Arthur got out of the way.
Matthew Mullins: 10♥10♣
Michael Ryan: Q♥Q♠
The board ran out 2♦Q♣A♦4♣10♦ and Ryan's set of queens sent Mullins packing.
After the successful 2023 return of the North American Poker Tour (NAPT) in Las Vegas, PokerStars announced that the NAPT will be back at Resorts World Las Vegas this year for ten days of tournament poker action.
The 2024 NAPT Las Vegas festival will take place Nov. 1-10, culminating with a $5,300 buy-in NAPT Main Event — an increase from last year's $1,650 price tag — after a successful event with a strong turnout in 2023.
“Last year, the NAPT smashed all expectations, so this year, we’re going even bigger," PokerStars North America Vice President Steve Preiss said in a press release. "With a premier partner like Resorts World Las Vegas, we’re stepping up our game: bigger tournaments, buy-ins, and player-focused events.”
