Rothschild catapulted into the chip lead after doubling up through Nicholas Skyllas in a three-bet pot. “I thought I was ahead; I knew he was three-betting me light. Once I saw the two spades come out on the flop, I knew I was going with this hand,” said Rothschild, referencing the massive pot that sparked his momentum.
The PokerStars sponsored event saw 15 NAPT qualifiers return for Day 2, all of whom were eligible for the Gold Pass. Andrew Kershaw outlasted all other qualifiers and will be playing in the NAPT Las Vegas Main Event in November. PokerStars will cover travel and accommodation, along with the $5,300 buy-in.
Another NAPT qualifier who made a deep run was Dan McGinnis. McGinnis was in the mix all tournament but eventually lost a 3,000,000-chip flip to Andrew Kershaw.
Jeffrey Chrin ended his run in 13th place after falling short to pocket tens. Brandon Mueller looked poised to make a deep run as well, but lost a massive pot on a cooler flop to Sean Fellmanafter each player flopped top pair. Mueller eventually was knocked out in 12th place.
Derek Atson was the first to exit the final table. Atson found the dream spot to triple up and get back in the game, but Max Pinnola had other plans, and cracked Atson’s pocket Aces to send him home in ninth place.
Seamus Delaney made a deep run as well, but his pocket sevens were no match for Nicholas Skyllas’ pocket Jacks as he exited the final table in eighth place for a nice payday.
Sean Fellman exited in seventh place after calling a button shove from Andrew Kershaw. Fellman found himself dominated, and could not improve.
Mykhailo Lendel hit the payout desk in sixth place after getting it all in preflop with Luke Rothschild.
The final five players agreed on a fair ICM chop with 38:44 remaining in Level 31. Joseph Iannone was in fifth place and after ICM, he took home $25,832.
