Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

After the confetti had rained down, the trophy had been raised, and the lights had gone off at the second edition of the PokerStars North American Poker Tour Las Vegas $5,300 Main Event, Nick Marchington had one reaction to what his run was like: it felt like a dream.

The 26-year-old UK pro started the final table as a massive chip leader and never lost it, putting on one of the most dominant final table performances in recent memory on his way to being crowned NAPT champion and taking home the $765,200 top prize.

“It really was a dream. It’s one of the most fun experiences I’ve had playing poker,” Marchington said after clinching the title. “Obviously, everyone loves to come in being the chip leader, and I was very lucky to be able to maintain the chip lead and not even come close to losing it for pretty much the whole final table.”

Nick Becker

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action picked up on the flop of 8♣6♦7♣ with Spencer Simpson in the big blind all in and at risk against Gohshi Morita on the button.

Spencer Simpson: A♣3♣ All in
Gohshi Morita: 8♠8♦

Simpson needed a club to stay alive and he hit one on the river when the board ran out Q♠, 6♣.

However, his nut flush was no good as Morita had filled up on the river and Simpson was sent to the rail.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The under-the-gun player raised to 2,500, Graeme Newman three-bet to 7,500 in the cutoff, and Ankit Ahuja cold four-bet to 15,000 on the button. Under the gun got out of the way and Newman called.

The flop came 6♥5♠5♦ and Newman check-called a bet of 11,000 from Ahuja. The turn fell the 8♣ and Newman check-called again, this time for 20,000.

On the 3♦ river, Newman checked for a third time and Ahuja moved all in for 57,500 to put himself at risk. Clearly faced with a tough decision, Newman went into the tank.

"Show me the bluff," said Newman as he tossed his cards into the muck.

Ahuja responded with a smirk.

"That's a smile that says bluff," muttered Newman.

Ankit Ahuja	153,500 73,500	73,500
Graeme Newman	148,000 148,000	148,000

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The flop came Q♦3♣7♦ and it checked to Smith who bet 2,500. Only Marcus continued to the K♠ turn.

Smith fired out a bet of 6,500 and Marcus thought for a moment before throwing his cards into the muck.
