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.

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. Nicholas Skyllas finished in fourth place for $31,828.
