Ko Takes Chip Lead; Tice Bags Big on Day 1a of NAPT Las Vegas Main Event
Nível 14
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
After a break of 12 years, it was time for a Main Event. The PokerStars North American Poker Tour Las Vegas is being hosted by Resorts World Las Vegas, and they were more than happy to welcome 180 entries to Day 1a of the $1,650 NAPT Las Vegas Main Event. Out of those entries, 38 of them made it through to Day 2 on Thursday, November 9.
After losing a chunk of chips to go down to 8,000 chips at one point, David Dongwoo Ko made it through to Day 2 with the chip lead of 434,500 which is worth a whopping 145 big blinds on Day 2. He collected those chips with two double knockouts, one of them included Michael Rossitto and Peter Hengsakul and some gutsy bluffs when possible.
Following him in second place in the ranking is Joe Tehan who was one of Ko's bluff victims. Claiming the final place on the Day 1a podium is Landon Tice who first left PokerStars Ambassador Maria Konnikova short and then eliminated Anthony Zinno a few hours later.

Theodore Curran: K♦K♣

Higher Kicker for Smajd
Nível 14
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Damjan Radanov raised to 5,500 from the early position and the action folded all the way to Anze Smajd in the big blind who made the call.
The flop came 2♣Q♦2♥, Smajd fired out a bet which Radanov called.
The 4♣ on the turn made Smajd continue with another bet, this time for 10,000 which Radanov called too.
The river completed the board with the 9♣ and Smajd barreled another 10,000 into the pot. Radanov called. Smajd tabled the K♥Q♣ for Radanov to look at his cards and then reveal the Q♥J♥ for the same pair but lower kicker to lose the pot.
