Joao Simao Wins 2nd PGT Title in NAPT Las Vegas $10K NLH / PLO
The NAPT Las Vegas continued from Resorts World Las Vegas on Friday, November 7, with the conclusion of the fifth PGT-qualifying event of the series. Sean Rafael claimed victory in Event #22: $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller for $171,700.
At the recent PGT PLO Series and Super High Roller Bowl: $100k Pot-Limit Omaha, Rafael cashed five times, including a heads-up chop for a Super High Roller Series title. This time, Rafael won it outright to claim his first official PGT title and 103 PGT points. For the 2025 PGT season, Rafael has cashed 15 times and amassed 1,390 PGT points to sit 14th on the PGT leaderboard and have a near lock on earning a seat in the season-ending PGT $1,000,000 Championship.
Event #22 was a small field of just 11 entrants, with the final two players receiving prize money. With a plethora of events running simultaneously at Resorts World, the event structure was amended to accommodate players. When play resumed, Robert Cowen was the chip leader, but he would be eliminated on the money bubble in third place. Rafael and Jordan Glazer battled heads-up, but it would be Glazer falling in second place to earn his second cash of the series.
