Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Paul Gunness moved all in for 25,500 from the big blind on a flop of 10♣9♠7♣ and Stephen Song called in the cutoff.

Paul Gunness: 10♠7♥ All in
Stephen Song: K♥10♥

Gunness had flopped two pair to take the lead over Song's top pair, and the 3♥ turn left him a card away from a double up. The river, though, was the K♠ and Song made kings and tens to win the pot and send Gunness to the rail.

"That's why he's the great one. I felt it coming," Gunness joked with Song as he made his exit.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Jon Orlando raised to 3,500 in middle position and Anatoly Nikitin called in the cutoff. Frank Lagodich then moved all in for 25,000 on the button, and only Orlando called.

Frank Lagodich: K♠Q♠ All in
Jon Orlando: A♠8♠

The J♦K♦9♦ flop gave Lagodich the lead with a pair of kings, and Orlando couldn't catch up on the 3♥ turn or 3♣ river and Lagodich doubled up.

Adam Lamers

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Jared Jaffee was the overall chip leader coming into the day with over 12 starting stacks to kick things off. Jaffee raised to 3,500 in early position and was called by the cutoff. Brittany Spain ripped all in for 13,000 in the small blind and Jaffee was the only one to look her up.

Brittany Spain: A♦10♠ All in
Jared Jaffee: K♠J♠

The board ran out 8♥5♥3♥4♠10♣, which connected with neither player, giving Spain a double up with ace-high.

"Can't win a f***ing hand," Jaffee joked after taking a small hit to his stack in the early going.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Brian Harris bet 10,000 from the hijack on a flop of 10♠8♣J♥ and Hayley Hanna moved all in for 21,500 in middle position. Harris quickly called to put her at risk.

Hayley Hanna: A♥9♥ All in
Brian Harris: K♣K♥

Harris was ahead with his kings, while Hanna was on a straight draw. The 7♥ turn also gave her a flush draw, and the Q♦ fell on the river to complete her straight as she doubled up.

Jared Jaffee, Jon Kyte Chip Leaders on Day 2 of the NAPT Las Vegas $1,100 PokerStars Open Main Event

The PokerStars North American Poker Tour (NAPT) Las Vegas has once again descended on Resorts World, and an elite field is helping kick off the series when Day 2 of the $1,100 PokerStars Open Main Event begins at noon local time.

Jared Jaffee leads 270 players who managed to survive one of four starting flights, taking a stack of 367,500 into the event’s penultimate day. He’s followed by PokerStars Open Monte Carlo champion Jon Kyte (326,500), Matthew Yankowski (299,500), Ravi Sheth (286,500), and Douglas Lada (281,500).

Day 2 Top Ten Chip Counts

Rank	Player	Country	Chip Count	Big Blinds
1	Jared Jaffee	United States	367,500	245
2	Jon Kyte	Norway	326,500	218
3	Matthew Yankowski	United States	299,500	200
4	Ravi Sheth	United Kingdom	286,500	191
5	Douglas Lada	United States	281,500	188
6	Rex Clinkscales	United States	269,000	179
7	Matthew Salsberg	United States	258,500	172
8	Anatoly Nikitin	Russia	255,000	170
9	Paulina Loeliger	United States	254,500	170
10	Daniel Jones	United States	250,000	167

Others returning for Day 2 include Terrance Reid (177,000), David “ODB” Baker (148,500), PokerStars Team Pro Maria Konnikova (147,000), Stephen Song (140,500), and 2023 NAPT champion Sami Bechahed (129,000).

Further down the leaderboard are Joey Weissman (105,000), Jeff Platt (79,000), 2024 world champion Jonathan Tamayo (59,000), Michael Wang (45,000), Chris Moorman (34,500), PokerStars Team Pro Kenny Hallaert (30,000), and Adam Hendrix (18,000).

The four starting flights saw 852 players take a shot at the title. Late registration remains open until the start of the day, so there is a possibility the field grows even larger before the official prize pool is announced.

The action on Day 2 picks up on Level 11 with blinds of 1,000/1,500 and a 1,500 big blind ante. Ten 60-minute levels will be played today, with a break after every two levels and a 60-minute dinner break after Level 16 around 6:30 p.m.

The PokerNews team has also arrived in Las Vegas to cover the action, so stay tuned throughout the day for live updates.
