$5,300 NAPT Main Event
Jour 1b terminé
A day ago, both Ryan Hughes and Wagner Wysotchanski took home Spadie trophies by winning side events at the PokerStars North American Poker Tour Las Vegas. They took their shot at the Main Event today on Day 1b and showed the momentum from those wins hadn’t yet worn off.
Hughes, who won the $1,100 Omaha event, ended the day as chip leader over the 163 players who survived the second starting flight. Hughes doubled up early in the day when he picked off a bluff from Michael Berk, then kept climbing all the way up to 304,500.
Wysotchanski earned his victory in a $5,300 Omaha event yesterday and ended up right behind Hughes with 247,500. Wysotchanski jumped into contention for the chip lead late in the day when he called down Mark Egbert with a set of tens to win a massive pot.

Alexander “Wolfgang Poker” Seibt busted when Shannon Shorr turned a straight to beat his pocket nines. Chance Kornuth, Maria Konnikova, Nick Schulman, Jen Shahade, “Boston Rob” Mariano, and Alejandro Lococo were also among those sent to the rail. They still have an opportunity to chase the title as late registration remains open until the start of Day 2 tomorrow at noon local time.
A total of 466 players entered the second starting flight, joining the 266 from yesterday’s opening flight and 104 from the turbo Day 1c flight to create a field of 836 entries going into Day 2. The prize pool already stands at more than $4 million with a chance to grow even larger with last-minute arrivals. Just 287 players remain when play resumes tomorrow. The action picks up on Level 11 with blinds of 1,000-1,500 and a 1,500 big blind ante as levels increase to 90 minutes. The money bubble is expected to burst late in the day.
PokerNews will be back tomorrow providing live updates as players find out what they are playing for and the race for the money begins.

Day 1b has ended with 163 players remaining out of 466 entries.
Stay tuned for chip counts and a recap of the day's action.
The floor has paused the clock with 10:00 remaining in Level 10 and announced that three more hands will be played at each table before play concludes for the night.
Yake Wu opened to 2,500 in early position and Grant Wang called in the cutoff. The two players saw a flop of Q♥10♦6♥, where Wu fired 3,000.
Wang tossed out a raise to 6,900 and Wu asked to see the rest of his stack before making the call.
Wu then checked the K♦ turn and Wang moved all in for his last 20,000. Wu took a moment before making the call.
Grant Wang: A♣A♦
Yake Wu: K♣J♣
Wang's pair of aces held through the 4♦ river, claiming the pot and doubling up through Wu.

Heads-up on a board of 3♦2♦J♥4♠, David Docherty bet 22,000 from the small blind and Huabao Chen called on the button.
The river was the 2♥ and Docherty moved all in for 59,000. Chen spent a few minutes in the tank and eventually folded as Docherty took the pot.
"You guys aren't going to fist bump each other?" tablemate Matthew Wantman said after the hand.

Alexander "Wolfgang Poker" Seibt moved all-in for his last 8,000 from under the gun and was called by Shannon Shorr in the small blind.
Alexander "Wolfgang Poker" Seibt: 9♥9♦
Shannon Shorr: J♥10♥
Shorr picked up a gutshot and counterfeit outs on the A♠A♦Q♠ flop. The K♥ fell on the turn to give Shorr broadway, but Seibt still had boat outs to improve. However, the 3♠ on the river sealed his fate as the most subscribed-to poker Youtuber made his exit.
