Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

During the FPS Aix-les-Bains Main Event, players with a PokerStars account could participate in a last longer competition, with a $10,000 package for the upcoming NAPT in Las Vegas up for the winner.

To take part in this competition, players had to wear a “Last Longer NAPT” patch from the start of Day 1. After three days of action, three out of the 15 remaining players still had a patch. But after Quentin Girardet's elimination, only Erich Tedeschi and Robin Engelmann were still in the race for the package.

In the end, Tedeschi was eliminated just before the final table, finishing 10th for €8,720, leaving the package to Engelmann. The young player will head to Las Vegas for the first time in his life from November 4 to 11, to participate in the $5,300 NAPT Main Event at Resorts World.
