Level 18 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Action folded to Kartik Ved in the small blind who limped. Daniel Chan was in the big blind and decided to check his action to bring out the J♠K♠7♠ flop.

Both players quickly checked through to the 7♦ turn card.

Ved checked over to Chan who decided to toss out a bet worth 9,000. Unconvinced, Ved flicked in the call to see the river bring the 2♦.

Ved checked once again and after a brief pause, Chan assembled a bet of 25,000 and tossed it in the middle. Ved thought briefly and checked his cards before making the call just to see the bad news as Chan turned over the winning K♣4♦, prompting a muck from Ved as the dealer awarded the pot to Chan.

Player	Chips	Progress
Kartik Ved	155,000 20,000	20,000

The 2023 NAPT $550 Seniors (50+) Event more than doubled its $20K GTD as 87 runners generated a prize pool of $41,760. That was paid out to the top 11 finishers, two of which fell short of the final table in David Gutfreund (10th - $1,045) and Melvin Hicks (11th - $1,045).

Lena Evans of Poker League of Nations (PLON) was at her second final table of the series after finishing sixth in the Women’s Event, and this time she took eighth place for $1,630. Also at the final table were Jason Patton (5th - $3,205) and Nader Hatem (4th - $4,170).

The final three players worked a deal that saw them each take $8,257 in prize money, while Soren Lundgren was crowned the official champion.

Ryan Leng raised to 13,000 from the hijack and found a single caller in Michael Miller from the big blind before seeing the flop come Q♠10♣8♣.

Miller checked over to Leng who continued with a bet of 9,000. Miller decided to make the call and watch the J♠ hit the turn.

Miller checked over to Leng again, but this time, Leng checked back to see the K♥ fall on the river.

Both players checked through to showdown and Leng showed the J♣4♣, beating the 10♦7♦ of Miller and allowing Leng to collect a small pot.

Level 18 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

One of the bigger buy-in tournaments of the 2023 NAPT was the $5,300 Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO), which offered a single re-entry. The tournament attracted 41 runners which meant a $198,850 prize pool was up for grabs to the top six finishers.

The field was filled with four-card crushers, but only a half dozen were fortunate enough to cash including Matthew Wantman (6th - $13,920), David Coleman (5th - $17,895), and Dan Shak (4th - $22,870).

After Spencer Simpson bowed out in third place for $30,820, the title came down to Caleb Furth and Neffa Pire. Eventually, the former prevailed to claim the title and $68,605 top prize.

Connor Richards

Level 18 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

In a three-way pot on a flop of 7♣9♣8♥, Andrew Moreno checked and Girish Reknar also checked as Jonathan Glendinning bet 16,000. Moreno called and Reknar check-raised to 50,000. Glendinning called and Moreno took some time before back-jamming a stack of 129,000.

Reknar went in the tank before moving all in for around 320,000 and Glendinning thought it through before calling off with his stack of around 200,000.

Andrew Moreno: 6♥5♦
Jonathan Glendinning: 7♦7♠
Girish Reknar: Q♣10♣

It was quite the cooler as Moreno had the lower end of the straight and Glendinning had bottom set, while Reknar had a flush draw and open-ended straight draw. The 6♣ turn gave Reknar the flush and the A♣ river failed to pair the board for a double elimination in one of the biggest pots of the day.
