NAPT Las Vegas: Boivin Targets Main Event Title, Soverel Claims 13th PGT Victory

Thomas Boivin Tops the Final 16 in the Main Event

The fourth day of the NAPT Las Vegas 2025 Main Event, with a $5,300 buy-in, featured dynamic action, leaving just 16 players vying for the prestigious trophy and the top prize of $653,050. After a brisk day with just over three levels played, Thomas Boivin emerged in clear leadership, bagging 3,365,000 chips (168 big blinds) by the day's end. Boivin enters the final days as the favorite, leveraging his extensive experience over the field.

Richard Green is in second with 2,800,000 chips, followed by Baurzhan Akimov from Kazakhstan. A deep run would mark the greatest success in both players' careers. Among the top 10 are also Peter Mugar, who led after Day 2, and well-known American pro Gal Yifrach.

The remaining players are guaranteed at least $29,350, with payouts increasing significantly as the final table approaches. Day 5 starts at 12:00 p.m. local time, aiming to determine the final six who will compete the next day for the NAPT Las Vegas 2025 Main Event champion title.

Main Event NAPT Las Vegas: Top 10 Stacks After Day 4

Jordan Glazer Celebrates His First Title

The NAPT Las Vegas 2025 continued with another high-stakes tournament, Event #30: $10,200 No-Limit Hold'em Knockout, which attracted 14 players. In this small but elite field, American Jordan Glazer claimed his first PGT title and a prize of $42,750. According to The Hendon Mob database, this was Glazer's first official tournament victory.

Glazer redeemed himself after finishing second in Event #22: $25,000 PLO High Roller, where victory narrowly eluded him. His excellent form translated into success, as he outlasted Russian pro Anatoly Nikitin in heads-up play, with Nikitin taking home a consolation prize of $23,050.

The tournament featured notable players like Andrew Lichtenberger, Seth Davies, Sam Soverel, Isaac Haxton, Joao Simao, and Aram Oganyan, who finished third (just outside the money).

Sam Soverel Earns His 13th PGT Title

In the penultimate PGT-ranking event of the NAPT Las Vegas 2025 series, American high-stakes pro Sam Soverel triumphed in Event #32: $12,300 PS Cuatro Knockout. His 13th PGT title earned him $116,840 and an additional $84,000 in bounty rewards.

With this victory, Soverel added 117 PGT points, bringing his total to 2,736 points. He is just 81 points behind leader Alex Foxen, as both compete for their first PGT Player of the Year title.

Recently, Soverel achieved his 100th ITM result in PGT history, becoming the second player to reach this milestone. Jeremy Ausmus, finishing fifth, also hit this landmark, becoming the third player in PGT history with 100 ITM finishes.

The tournament attracted 39 players, with six reaching the money. Maria Konnikova rounded out the payouts with $23,700. Familiar names like Chance Kornuth and Dan Smith also cashed. Jordan Glazer, who claimed his first PGT title just a day earlier, continued his hot streak, ultimately falling only to Soverel in heads-up. He earned a total of $100,200 for second place.
