Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Aaron Klausman moved all in for 60,000 from the button and Jim Collopy called in the small blind.

Aaron Klausman: A♥4♥ All in
Jim Collopy: 10♠10♥

Klausman was looking for an ace to stay alive, but he missed the K♣5♥7♣4♣2♦ board and was sent to the rail.

At another table, Adam Lopez from under the gun and David Trager on the button had all their chips in the middle going to the flop.

David Trager: A♥Q♥ All in
Adam Lopez: A♣A♦

Lopez had picked up two aces, but the 6♥4♦3♥ flop gave Trager hope with a flush draw. The 4♣ turn was safe for Lopez, while the 3♠ fell on the river and Lopez secured the pot.

"What a sweat. As soon as I saw that first heart on the flop," he yelled out after the hand.

"Pretty gross," another tablemate added.

"It was going to be gross either way," Lopez replied.

The stacks were counted down and both players happened to have the same 62,500, and Trager was sent to the rail.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Ian O'Hara and Paulina Loeliger were heads-up in a pot with a little over 40,000 in the middle and the board reading K♣6♦4♦8♣. O'Hara led out with a bet of 35,000 from the big blind and Loeliger called.

The 8♥ paired the board on the river and O'Hara moved in a stack of around 70,000, leaving just 500 chips behind. Loeliger wasted little time before mucking her cards and O'Hara was awarded the pot.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Brian Winter and Chris Hunichen were heads-up on the river with the board showing A♣Q♠10♥K♣3♣. Winter then moved all in for 33,500 from middle position, sending Hunichen deep into the tank.

The clock was eventually called on Hunichen before he put in the chips to call. Winter showed J♠J♣ for a straight, and Hunichen mucked A♠10♣.

At another table, Michael Lindgren had opened to 7,000 under the gun before Joe Serock three-bet to 18,000 in middle position. Stuart Taylor then moved all in for 20,500, and only Serock called.

Stuart Taylor: J♣J♠ All in
Joe Serock: 10♣10♦

Taylor had Serock dominated with his jacks, and the board ran out A♠J♥Q♣9♣Q♠ to improve him to a full house and earn him a double up.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Eric Afriat raised to 5,500 in early position and picked up calls from Andrew Tang on the button and Ryan Tosoc in the small blind.

The flop came A♦9♣8♣ and Afriat continued with a bet of 10,000. Tang quickly folded but Tosoc counted out a check-raise to 30,000. Afriat contemplated for a brief moment but then dumped his cards into the muck, preserving his short stack as the money bubble approaches.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

With around 40,000 in the pot on a board of Q♦A♠4♣2♥, Yossi Krispin moved all in for 60,000 in middle position. Marco Johnson was on the button and tanked for several minutes, but he eventually called to put Krispin at risk.

Johnson showed A♣10♠ for top pair, but Krispin turned over A♦K♣ and was ahead with his king-kicker. The river was the 6♠ and Johnson was forced to hand over the double up.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

The action folded to Nissar Quraishi in the cutoff who put his short stack of 31,500 into the middle. Joseph Alban was in the big blind and revved up his little toy car before it crashed into the pile of chips in the middle of the table. Alban went on to call and the cards were tabled.

Nissar Quraishi: A♣J♥ All in
Joseph Alban: A♠K♥

The flop of Q♠6♦5♥ left Alban in the lead with the better ace-high. However, the J♠ on the turn paired Quraishi who took an overwhelming lead. The 4♣ on the river bricked out and Quraishi collected a double up.

Joe Serock opened to 5,000 in the cutoff and Byung Shin called from the small blind. The flop came J♠10♠8♥ and Shin check-called a bet of 5,000 from Serock.

The turn brought the Q♥ and both players checked to the 4♦ on the river. Shin checked again and Serock quickly checked it back. Shin tabled Q♦J♥ for two pair and Serock already had his cards in the muck, giving up on the hand.

David Salituro

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Sami Bechahed raised to 6,000 in the hijack and Adam Walton called in the cutoff. Amir Marimar then moved all in for 49,000 on the button, Bechahed reshoved, and Walton got out of the way.

Amir Marimar: K♥J♥ All in
Sami Bechahed: A♥J♦

Bechahed had Marimar dominated and was poised for the knockout heading to the 10♥2♥7♣ flop. The 8♠ turn was no help to Marimar, while the 2♣ fell on the river and the 2023 NAPT champion took the pot to send Marimar to the rail.
