Matthew "Rosey" Rosenfield, one-third of Next Gen Poker, recently sat down for Day 1e of the NAPT Main Event. The content creators are in Las Vegas for their coronation as the newest ambassadors for PokerStars, and "Rosey" is taking his shot at a share of the $1,500,000 guarantee.
PokerNews stopped by Rosenfield's table to spend an orbit (before the break) with the young poker personality. He started with 24,200 and the table was seven-handed.
Hand 1: (Cutoff) Rosenfield folded to a bet of 800.
Hand 2: (Hijack) Rosenfield folded to a bet of 600.
Hand 3: (Middle position) Rosenfield raised to 600 and the cutoff called before the button made it 2,600. Rosenfield slid out 7,000 and both players gave up the pot.
Hand 4: (Under the gun) Rosenfield open-folded.
Hand 5: (Big Blind) A player in the under-the-gun position limped in and Rosenfield checked his option from the big blind. The flop was 9♦10♦4♣ and Rosenfield check-called a bet of 600. Rosenfield check-called a bet of 1,500 on the 10♠ turn and both players checked the 3♦ river. "Pair is good," Rosenfield said as his opponent turned over Q♣J♦ for queen-high. "That's good, too." Rosenfield responded as he tossed the losing hand into the muck.
Hand 6: (Small blind) The cutoff raised to 600 and Rosenfield three-bet to 2,400. The big blind called and the cutoff tossed in the chips to see K♥7♦5♦ on the flop. Rosenfield continued for 2,500 after the flop and the big blind called before the cutoff got out of the way. The turn was A♣ and the big blind called again when Rosenfield bet 5,100. Rosenfield fired 8,000 at the 4♥ river and the big blind called. Both players turned over ace-queen to split the pot.
Hand 7: (Button) Rosenfield folded to a bet of 800.
There are plenty of reasons to be excited about the return of the PokerStars North American Poker Tour (NAPT) to Las Vegas this week, including satellites into The Big Game on Tour and the $1,650 NAPT Las Vegas Main Event that will name the first NAPT champion in over a decade.
Another reason to be excited about NAPT Las Vegas is that it is taking place at Resorts World, one of the newest and most exciting attractions in Sin City that features state-of-the-art entertainment, dining, and one of the best poker rooms in all of Vegas.
Here is your guide for everything to do at Resorts World during the NAPT Las Vegas festival.
A player opened to 700 from under the gun and Ryan Riess three-bet to 2,200 in the cutoff. Cheng Xu called in the big blind and the original raiser folded.
The dealer spread the K♥9♠4♣ flop and Xu checked. Riess bet 2,200 and Xu responded by check-raising to 5,300, prompting Riess to muck.
