NAPT L.A.: Guinther Leads, Stars Threaten

December 28, 2010

They are into the money with just 81 remaining in the NAPT Los Angeles main event.

Jason Mercier is among the threats at NAPT Los Angeles.

Heading into Day 3 Monday it’s Jimmie Guinther who holds the lead with fellow American Travis Pearson closely in tow.

Team PokerStars Canada Pro Anh Van Nguyen, 2010 WSOP Main Event 28th place finisher Bryn Kenney, two-time WSOP final tablist Mike Sowers and 2006 WSOP Main Event third-place finisher Michael Binger are all in the top ten.

Online pro Carter King was the bubble boy as they pushed into the money 10 minutes into the final level of the day Sunday.

Those who cashed but did not advance to Day 3 include Shannon Shorr, James Van Alstyne, Eric Baldwin, Adam Junglen, Kristy Gazes, and Dan Schreiber.

Triple crown winner Gavin Griffin, WSOPE bracelet winner Phil Laak and Team PokerStars Pro and PokerListings blogger Jason Mercier are among those still in contention.

NAPT L.A. drew 701 players to the Bicycle Casino, creating a $3.2 million prize pool with $725,000 reserved for first.
A winner will be crowned Nov. 17.
