Day 1b of Event #3: $670 NLH picked up right where yesterday left off — fast, volatile, and stacked with big moments. But by the time the final hands were dealt, nobody shined brighter than Luis Coy Bravo, who turned an already strong start into a full-blown chip-leading domination. His 458,000 bag wasn’t just the Day 1b lead — it was the biggest stack across both flights.
Bravo found momentum early, but his day truly changed with a dream setup against DJ Sharma. Sharma made a massive shove on the all clubs board with top pair nut flush draw. Bravo snap called with middle set, which held and shot him up the leaderboard. From there every big pot seemed to tilt his way.
Right behind him, Ryan Comely quietly put together one of the most composed performances of the day. A perfectly timed river shove into Cameron Stewart pushed him near 100k early, and he never dipped from there. Comely finished with 342,000.
Colten Yamagishi completed the top three with 328,500 after mixing gutsy bluffs with disciplined value. One of the standout hands of the day saw him triple-barrel bluff a player holding top pair, showing 10♠8♣ for pure air — a pot that fueled his rise past the 300k mark.
Twenty five players from the 201 strong field return as a winner is crowned later in the day. First place will take home the lion share $27,280, with every player having locked up a minimum of $1,125.

Nicholas Peterson Silently Strikes Again to Win the $300 NLH
Event #5: $300 NLH delivered one of the most entertaining final tables of the series so far — a top-heavy, short-stacked brawl where every pot mattered and survival was measured in single blinds. Through all the chaos, Nicholas Peterson stayed composed, calculated, and relentlessly efficient on his way to winning the title and $7,500.
Peterson entered the final two tables with an average stack and zero fanfare, but once play tightened, he became the quiet force that no one could dodge. He chipped up by picking off steals, jamming correctly, and finding knockout after knockout.
A key moment came four-handed when Peterson, holding pocket fours, called off Lee Spence’s shove with pocket sixes — only for the board to roll out Q♠Q♣4♥A♥10♦. Spence’s elimination brought the field down to just three, and Peterson held the table firmly in his grip.
Heads-up lasted just a few hands. Leo Brouwer doubled once with a flopped straight, but Peterson regained control immediately. Moments later, he got it in with pocket sixes against Brouwer’s Ace-Jack, faded all five cards, and secured yet another PPT trophy — and still no runner-up finishes on his résumé.
