10:31pm: Selbst secures second NAPT title, Dan Shak eliminated in second place
Pop the champagne corks, poker fans--Vanessa Selbst has done it. Back-to-back NAPT Mohegan Sun titles.
On the second hand after we returned from the break, Dan Shak limped in on the button and Vanessa Selbst checked her option. The flop came down K?7?3? and Selbst checked to Shak, who bet 300,000. Selbst raised to 625,000, Shak immediately moved all-in and Selbst just as quickly called.
Shak J?7?
Selbst K?7?
Selbst had nearly flopped him dead, Shak drawing only to running jacks against her kings up. It was all over on the turn when the 5? hit the felt, the river falling the 2? to seal Selbst's remarkable repeat win here at Mohegan Sun. She'll take home $450,000, while Shak earned $254,000 for his runner-up finish.
Congratulations to Vanessa Selbst on her historic run, which puts her over the $4.1 million mark in career tournament earnings and third on the Womens' All-Time Money List. Stay tuned for a full wrap. --KB

9:48pm: Hands 40-49-- Shak doubles through Selbst, misses value on nut boat
Dan Shak managed to make a bit of a comeback over the last ten hands. He doubled up with a straight against Selbst's nut flush draw on Hand 42, but could not get paid off on the full house he turned on Hand 45. Currenlty Selbst is on 7.1 million in chips while Shak is up to about 4.6 million.

Shak flopped an eight-high straight but Selbst had outs to an ace-high flush draw. She missed on the turn when the 6? fell, and again on the river with the J?. Shak doubled to just over 4 million, leaving Selbst on 7.7 million.

Hand 44: Selbst raised to 200,000 and Shak folded.
Hand 45: Shak raised to 250,000, Selbst three-bet to 500,000 and Shak called. The flop fell K?7?7? and both players checked. Same story when the A? came on the turn.

Hand 30 - Selbst limped from the small blind and Shak checked. The flop came 9?5?3?, which they both checked, to take them to a A? turn. Selbst bet 125,000, called by Shak, and the 7? rivered. This time Selbst bet 400,000 and Shak called again, only to be shown the 3?4? for a flush. Selbst took it.
Hand 31 - Shak raised pre-flop to 250,000 and Selbst let him have it.
Hand 32 - Selbst raised to 200,000 and Shak called. The flop was 3?2?K? and Selbst's bet took it. "Unstoppable!" bellowed one of Selbst's fan club in the bleachers.
Hand 33 - Shak folds.
Hand 34 - Selbst made up Shak's big blind and Shak moved all in. Selbst wasn't having any of that and folded. Shak still has less than two million chips. Selbst has close to nine million.
Hand 35 - Shak limped from the small blind, and Selbst raised 200,000 more. Shak called. That took them to a 8?2?6? flop and Selbst bet 250,000. Shak called. The 4? turned and Selbst fired again, this time for 300,000. Shak folded, and Selbst showed A?K? for the turned nut flush. "I thought you were going to shove some time in that hand," Selbst said.
Hand 36 - Selbst open shoved, which, of course, is simply asking Shak if he fancies playing for all his chips. He didn't. He folded.
Hand 37 - Shak moves all in and Selbst calls! This could be it...
Selbst: K?J?
Shak: Q?6?
Selbst is miles ahead, and the 4?T?3? doesn't change that. The turn, however, comes 6?, which puts Shak into the lead.
Selbst still had plenty of outs, but the T? isn't one of them. That gave Shak the double up and he now has about 3.5 million. Most importantly, he's still alive.

9:03pm: A brief recap
You can see the first 20 hands below, but the only one that really matters after the first 45 minutes of play is the one in which Selbst turned the tables. Selbst started off heads-up play by keeping the pots small. She won most of them, and only stumbled when she ran into Shak's very disguised quad kings. That cost Selbst a bit of her stack, but not so much that she couldn't turn Shak upside down and shake out his pockets when she played kings as straightforwardly as she could and got paid off for everything she had in front of her after flopping middle set. The chip stacks are now reversed from where they were when Shak and Selbst got heads up. --BW

5.25pm: Thomas Hoglund Jr. out in fourth, winning $120,000
Tom Hoglund Jr., who has done a good job of staying out of trouble and moving into the final four, could go no further. He is out in fourth, winning $120,000 for his week in Connecticut.
Hoglund shoved his short stack all in from the button and was called by the mighty towers of Tyler Kenney. Kenney also had the best hand when they were showndown:
Hoglund: Q?9?
Kenney: A?7?
Both players flopped pairs on the A?Q?6? board, but Hoglund couldn't get any further help on the 5? turn and the 8? river and that meant he was sent to the rail. -- HS
The game is up for Thomas Hoglund Jr
5.05pm: Rubianes out in fifth, winning $90,000
Vincent Rubianes was close to a triple up, but now he's close to the cash cage. He is out.
Tyler Kenney opened to 140,000 and Dan Shak called. Sensing that potential triple up, Vincent Rubianes decided this was his chance and moved all in for 155,000.
The flop came 3?4?2? and Kenney bet 160,000. Shak mucked, leaving Rubianes and Kenney to decide the former's tournament life.
Rubianes: A?7?
Kenney: K?T?
At this stage it looked good for a potentially life-saving moment for Rubianes. He only had a few outs to fade on turn and river. Howevever, both turn and river were horrible for him, coming K?K?, and that was that for Rubianes.
He is out in fifth for $90,000. -- HS
Vincent Rubianes departs in fifth place
4:59pm: Selbst doubles through Rubianes
On the shortstack and down to 1.2 million in chips, Vanessa Selbst open-pushed for around 1.1 million with K?J?. Vincent Rubianes called her with 8?8?. From the rail came the call of "One Time Chip!"
The flop came down K?2?7?, leaving Rubianes with just one out...until the turn came the K?. The opened up one more out for Rubianes. It didn't hit. The 4? came on the river and Selbst doubled to around 2.3 million. The hand left Vincent with 150,000. He'll be all in before I hit publish on this post. --BW

I'll take those back, thank you
4:50pm: Moving pictures
4:45pm: Shak seizes the chip lead, doubles through defending champ
On Day 1 of this event, we reported a hand where Dan Shak, quite literally asleep in the small blind, woke up to ace-six and ultimately called his opponent's re-shove, doubling his stack. The hand once again proved to be lucky for the New York City futures trader, as it just gave him a double-up through (formerly) second-in-chips Vanessa Selbst.
Selbst opened for her standard twice the big blind raise to 120,000, Shak three-bet to 400,000 and Selbst moved all-in. Shak didn't waste too much time in calling, revealing A?6? to Selbst's 7?7?.
Dan Shak can barely bear to look at the flop
Although Selbst's pair held on the T?8?4? flop, the A? on the turn left her drawing to only a single out as Shak picked up the nut flush draw. The river was the 9? and Selbst shed about two-thirds of her stack, leaving her on 1.2 million while Shak vaulted into the chip lead with over 4 million.
Vanessa Selbst: You can't win them all
Meanwhile, Vanessa Selbst's normally enthusiastic rail has been temporarily silenced. --KB
4:36pm: Small flop, small(ish) pot for Kenney
Tyler Kenney opened for a raise to 140,000 and got one caller in Vincent Rubianes. The flop fell 3?2?2? and Rubianes checked to Kenney, who made a 140,000 continuation bet. Rubianes called, and the 6? came on the turn. Rubianes checked a second time, Kenney made it 325,000 to go and it was enough to fold out Rubianes, our hooded leader adding a few more chips to his growing stack. --KB
4.30pm: Five for it
Welcome back to Connecticut, where there are five players still in the hunt for NAPT glory.
On the final hand of the past level, the NAPT Los Angeles champion Joe Tehan was eliminated, ending his hopes of becoming the first two-time NAPT champion.
But Vanessa Selbst, the only other player with that chance at the start of the tournament, could still pull it off. She not only remains at the final table, she is also the chip leader.
The full counts of the remaining five are as follows:
Vanessa Selbst: 3,230,000
Tyler Kenney: 3,200,000
Dan Shak: 2,135,000
Tom Hoglund: 1,590,000
Vincent Rubianes: 1,550,000
Blinds are now 30,000-60,000, meaning each small blind is now the equivalent of a starting stack in this tournament.
