Sean Jazayeri opened from middle position before Thomas Fuller three-bet to 3,000 from the button. With the action back on Jazayeri, he opted to four-bet to 7,800, and Fuller took some time before he decided to call.
On the J♦10♣8♥ flop, Jazayeri continued for 5,000 before Fuller jammed for 21,300 effective as the slightly covering stack. Jazayeri did not take long before he shrugged and called it off to put himself at risk.
Sean Jazayeri: A♥K♣
Thomas Fuller: A♦A♣
Fuller was ahead with his overpair but Jazayeri had three immediate outs with a gutshot. The board ran out 5♣5♦ and Jazayeri was eliminated as Fuller found a near double.
Michael Lavenburg opened from early position and Yiannis Liperis called in middle position.
On the K♠7♥3♠ flop, Lavenburg continued for 600 and Liperis called.
The 8♥ turn checked through to the 8♦ river which saw Lavenburg overbet for 6,100. Liperis contemplated his decision for a minute before he cut out calling chips and placed them in the middle.
Michael Lavenburg: 5♠4♠
Yiannis Liperis: 9♥9♦
Lavenburg was bluffing with a missed flush draw while Liperis made the correct call with his pocket pair to drag a sizeable pot.
Ronald Mcmillen opened from the cutoff, Maria Ho three-bet shoved for 7,600 from the big blind and Mcmillen called with a covering stack to put Ho at risk.
Maria Ho: A♠J♥
Ronald Mcmillen: K♦Q♦
Ho was a slight favorite preflop and remained ahead when the board ran out 2♣A♣7♣J♠7♠ to double up through Mcmillen.
Lawrence Brandt opened to 700 from the hijack and was called by Victoria Livschitz in the cutoff, Ronald McMillen on the button and Ehsan Amiri in the big blind.
The flop came A♣J♥2♠ and action checked around to Livschitz who bet 800. McMillen called while the other two players got out of the way.
Livschitz continued for 6,000 on the Q♠ turn and this time it was enough to force a fold from McMillen.
Han Feng raised to 700 under the gun and James Carroll called from middle position. Ryan Hohner came along from the big blind and it was three-way action to the flop, which came down K♠2♦K♣.
Hohner checked, Feng continued for 600, and Carroll got out of the way.
Hohner opted to call and then checked the 8♣ turn. Feng kept the pressure on with a bet of 2,800 and that did the trick and Hohner wasted little time in releasing his hand.
Action was picked up on the turn with around 14,000 in the middle in a hand between Kenzo Ishida on the button and William Toivonen from middle position who had limp-called a raise preflop.
With the board reading J♣9♥6♥Q♦, Toivonen led all-in for 20,900 which sent Ishida into the tank. After some deliberation he opted to call and the cards hit their backs.
William Toivonen: K♣Q♥
Kenzo Ishida: A♠A♥
Ishida made the correct call with his overpair but Toivonen had several outs to improve.
Ishida pleaded with the dealer as he yelled,"Deuce!" before the dealer peeled the 2♠ on the river as he held to eliminate Toivonen.
Three players saw a board of 6♦8♣6♥ in a five-bet pot with around 60,000 in the middle and Paul Houvener already all in preflop from middle position after starting the hand with 19,000. Wagner Wysotchanski checked from under the gun, Mario Colavita shoved for 7,900 from the cutoff and Wysotchanski called with a covering stack to put both players at risk.
Paul Houvener: 10♠10♣
Mario Colavita: A♣A♥
Wagner Wysotchanski: K♥Q♥
Colavita's aces remained ahead when the rest of the board ran out J♥5♦ and he tripled up while Houvener was sent to the rail.
On Monday night, the 2024 NAPT Event #6: $360 NLH Unlimited Re-Entry attracted 89 players who rebought 17 times. The 106-entry field generated a prize pool of $26,700, and it was a familiar face coming out on top on Will “The Thrill” Failla, who claimed the Spadie trophy and $7,130 in prize money.
The real thrill of it all though is that Failla, who is in action in today's Day 1a field, didn’t even mean to play the tournament. He registered thinking it was a $360 satellite into the $5,300 NAPT Main Event.
"I bought into the $1,100 event but there were no more rebuys," he told PokerNews. "I didn't want to wait around until about six or seven for the next flight. I thought there was a satellite to it, and I said, 'What's the next thing going right now? The satellite?' And she goes, 'The $360.' So I give her the money and next thing I know I'm a half hour in, win a couple of hands, and a guy says, 'How many people are in the satellite?' Someone said what satellite? You're not in a satellite. Get the f*** out of here. He says, 'Will, you're in a $25K guaranteed tournament, not a satellite.'"
Failla continued: "I said, no f***ing way. I said, can you pick me up seriously? He said I played hands and had chips so they couldn't. I tried everything I could to go to dinner with my friends before the next $1,100 flight but I just couldn't lose a hand. It really f***ed up right in a way. I haven't played a $360 tournament since I was like four years old."
