Pennsylvania's Daniel Bellis outlasted Michael Lavin to be the last online qualifier standing in the $600 Kickoff Event to win a coveted Gold Pass package to NAPT Las Vegas in November.
Bellis had his first live cash earlier this year in Las Vegas and is now guaranteed a payday of at least $5,049 as he heads to dinner break with 14 players remaining.
Players have been sent on Dinner Break and play will resume at 6:30 p.m. local time.
Action folded to Alan Gendelman on the button, and he limped in. Then Charlie Chien went all in from the small blind, as did Justin Arnwine in the big blind. Gendelman folded leaving the two players heads up, with Chien at risk.
Charlie Chien: A♦7♦
Justin Arnwine: A♥K♦
Arnwine had Chien dominated and after the board ran out A♠4♠A♣J♦8♦ Arnwine's trip aces with a king kicker was still best, and Chien was eliminated in 15th place.
Hamid Sepehri raised to 125,000 from the hijack, and when it folded to Joshua Mischel in the big blind, he called all in for less.
Joshua Mischel: K♥8♣
Hamid Sepehri: A♦A♣
Mischel would need lots of help to crack the aces of Sepehri, but when the board ran out A♥3♠J♣K♣2♥ Sepehri improved to a set, and Mischel was eliminated in 16th place.
Level: 25
Blinds: 25,000/50,000

James Patterson was short-stacked and all in with just 60,000 in the small blind in a multi-way pot.
Patterson had hopes of running his stack back up, but fell short when his A♥2♦ fell to Alan Gendelman's 8♦7♠ on a board that read 6♠3♦7♥K♣J♦.
Gendelman's pair of sevens ended Patterson's impressive tournament run.
Hamid Sepehri raised to 100,000 from early position, before Lara Eisenberg three-bet to 300,000 in the cutoff. Michael Zazzera called on the button, and when it folded back to Sepehri, he announced all in for 1,255,000. Eisenberg folded, and Zazzera called to put Sepehri at risk.
Hamid Sepehri: A♠A♣
Michael Zazzera: J♥J♦
Sepehri woke up with aces and was in a great spot to double up. When the board ran out 6♠A♥K♥A♦10♥ Sepehri improved to quad aces and secured the double up.
