Jordan Glazer Wins 1st PGT Title in NAPT Las Vegas $10K NLH Knockout

The NAPT Las Vegas continued from Resorts World Las Vegas on Saturday, November 8, with the conclusion of the sixth PGT-qualifying event of the series. Jordan Glazer made amends for his runner-up finish in Event #22 by claiming victory in Event #30: $10,200 No-Limit Hold'em Knockout for $42,750.

Rafael claimed victory in Event #22: $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller for $171,700. This was Glazer's third cash at NAPT Las Vegas, and he moved to eighth on the NAPT Las Vegas Dream Seat Leaderboard with 135 PGT points. Glazer's lifetime tournament earnings now sit just shy of $600,000, according to The Hendon Mob, and not only was this his first career PGT title, but it is also his first recorded tournament win.

Event #30 was another small field of just 14 entrants, with the final two players in the money. Notable players included Andrew Lichtenberger, Seth Davies, Sam Soverel, Aaron Messmer, Brek Schutten, Brian Battistone, Neil Watren, Isaac Haxton, Joao Simao, and Aram Oganyan. Oganyan would be eliminated on the money bubble in third place as Glazer faced off with Russian professional poker player Anatoly Nikitin. Glazer emerged victorious and Nikitin collected $23,050 for his runner-up finish, while Glazer took home $42,750, his first PGT title, and the PokerStars NAPT Las Vegas trophy.
