Bullets for Bohmerwald

Nick Becker

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Michael Bohmerwald raised to 700 in the hijack, the player on the button flatted, and Amanda Wiswell called in the big blind.

The flop of A♦9♠6♦ checked through to the 6♥ turn. Wiswell led out for 1,000, Bohmerwald called, and the button got out of the way.

The Q♥ landed on the river, and Wiswell checked. Bohmerwald bet 3,500 and Wiswell made the call. Bohmerwald quickly turned over A♥A♣ for a full house, aces full of sixes.

"That might win, very nice," joked Wiswell as she tossed her cards into the muck.

The PokerStars North American Poker Tour (NAPT) is returning to the glitz and glam of Las Vegas this November and bringing with it a $5,300 buy-in Main Event featuring a $3 million guaranteed prize pool. As was the case in 2024, the luxurious Resorts World Las Vegas is the venue for the ten-day poker spectacular.

Running from November 3-12, the 2025 edition of the PokerStars NAPT Las Vegas should be huge. The festival marks the first time PokerStars has run one of its Open events in "Sin City," and it has the potential to break records. Since their launch, the PokerStars Open events have obliterated their guarantees.
