The fourth season of the North American Poker Tour (NAPT) run by PokerStars is well underway and the action only continues to heat up with the recent schedule release for its marquee stop in Las Vegas. Running from Friday November 1st through Sunday November 10th at Resorts World Las Vegas, the series is not one to miss as it features a whopping 36 tournaments in the span of a week and a half.
Buy-ins range from just $250 all the way up to $25,000 so there are plenty of options for those who want to enjoy some live tournament action without breaking the bank while also providing an opportunity for high stakes regulars to satisfy their desire to play for eye watering sums of money. The high volume means the series comes with a healthy $4,000,000 in total guarantees, including a sizable $3,000,000 set aside for the $5,300 Main Event.
The remaining 24 players have been sent on a 15-minute break.
Georgios Tsouloftas opened from middle position to 160,000. Yuan Xu moved all in from the hijack for 560,000. Action folded around and Tsouloftas called.
Yuan Xu: 6♠6♥
Georgios Tsouloftas: K♥J♦

Action folded around to the blinds, where Pieter Theelen raised to 240,000 from the small blind and Mehmet Demirkol called from the big blind.
Demirkol called a 285,000 bet from Theelen on the 6♣4♠9♣ flop and then both players checked on the 2♣ turn.
The 10♦ completed the board and Theelen fired 600,000 into the middle. Demirkol tanked a bit, but eventually decided to stick in a call and Theelen turned over K♥K♦.
Demirkol couldn't beat it and mucked — awarding the pot to Theelen.

Bobby James raised to 160,000 from middle position and Vladislav Dubanov moved almost all in for 1,380,000 from late position, leaving a single 5,000 chip behind.
James went into the tank, apologising to players for the wait as he considered his decision, eventually making the call.
The flop came A♦A♠Q♠ and both players checked. The turn was the J♣ and James put out a bet. Dubanov threw his last chip in the middle and players revealed their cards.
James had A♣10♣ for trip aces, but Dubanov had A♥K♣ for trip aces with a higher kicker. The river was the 2♠ and Dubanov held to double up his stack.

Radoslav Stoyanov: A♣Q♦
Andrey Pateychuk: A♠7♠

Georgios Tsouloftas opened to 160,000 from the cutoff and Yuan Xu three-bet to 425,000 on the button. It was then folded to Mihai Trofim in the big blind, who announced he was all in for 1,455,000 total. Tsouloftas quickly folded, but Xu called to put Trofim at risk.
Mihai Trofim: A♥A♦
Yuan Xu: Q♣Q♦
Trofim found himself on the right side of a preflop cooler, and the 3♠10♠A♣6♣9♣ runout needlessly improved him to a set of aces for the double up while Xu was left short.

Vladislav Dubanov opened to 325,000 from middle position, leaving 5,000 behind. Bobby James called in the cutoff and Alexey Badulin called in the small blind. Sebastian Ting defended the big blind.
The J♣5♥2♠ flop was checked to James who bet 325,000. Badulin and Ting folded. Dubanov tanked for a moment before calling the clock on himself.
James said "it's ok, you can take more time before you call the clock on yourself." Dubanov did anyway, the floor counted him down and he put in his last 5,000.
Vladislav Dubanov: 8♠8♦
Bobby James: 3♥3♦
Dubanov stayed ahead across the 6♠ turn and 6♦ river to secure a crucial pot.
