Matthew Mullins raised to 7,000 under the gun, before Michael Fenwick three-bet to 19,000. Then Dustin Wills went all in for 17,500. It folded back to Mullins, and he folded to leave the two players heads up, with Wills at risk.
Dustin Wills: 10♦10♣ 
Michael Fenwick: 9♠9♦
Wills was in great shape to get more than a double up, but when the board ran out A♣3♦8♦9♣K♦ Fenwick turned a set of nines, which eliminated Wills from the tournament.

After the successful 2023 return of the North American Poker Tour (NAPT) in Las Vegas, PokerStars announced that the NAPT will be back at Resorts World Las Vegas this year for ten days of tournament poker action.
The 2024 NAPT Las Vegas festival will take place Nov. 1-10, culminating with a $5,300 buy-in NAPT Main Event — an increase from last year's $1,650 price tag — after a successful event with a strong turnout in 2023.
“Last year, the NAPT smashed all expectations, so this year, we’re going even bigger," PokerStars North America Vice President Steve Preiss said in a press release. "With a premier partner like Resorts World Las Vegas, we’re stepping up our game: bigger tournaments, buy-ins, and player-focused events.”
