PokerStars Brings the NAPT Back to Resorts World Las Vegas
Table Of Contents
PokerStars and the North American Poker Tour (NAPT) is returning to Resorts World Las Vegas for the third consecutive year, from November 3–12, 2025, for ten days of thrilling poker action on the Las Vegas Strip. This year’s schedule has something for every player, featuring buy-ins starting at just $360 alongside massive High Roller events and fan-favorite formats like PLO and Mystery Bounty, all leading up to the highly anticipated $5,300 Main Event.
The $5,300 Main Event
The crown jewel of the festival is of course, the $5,300 NAPT Main Event, which kicks off on November 6 and runs through November 12. The tournament boasts a $3 million guaranteed prize pool, three separate Day 1 flights, and a deep, player-friendly structure. Late registration will stay open until the start of Day 2, giving players plenty of flexibility to find their spot in the field.
Last year’s Main Event generated a massive $4,340,750 prize pool from 895 entries, making it one of the most successful NAPT stops in recent memory. When the dust settled, it was Nick Marchington who emerged victorious. The British pro came into the final table as a commanding chip leader and never looked back, using relentless aggression to control the action from start to finish. In a fitting finale, Marchington needed just one hand of heads-up play to seal the deal and claim the $765,200 top prize. With a larger guarantee and even more momentum behind the series this year, all eyes will be on Resorts World to see who can follow in Marchington’s footsteps.

The High Rollers
For those chasing the highest stakes, the NAPT Las Vegas stop features not one, but two marquee High Roller events. Leading the charge is the $50,000 Super High Roller, running from November 5–7, which is expected to attract a small but elite field of top-tier pros. This marks the first $50K Super High Roller in NAPT Las Vegas history, doubling last year’s $25K buy-in. In 2024, Stephen Song outlasted 60 entries to take down $439,400, and this year’s jump to $50K promises even fiercer competition and significantly larger paydays.
Later in the series comes the $10,300 High Roller, which bridges the gap between the Super High Roller elite and the upper-mid-stakes grinders. In 2024, Sam Soverel won this event, besting 170 entries for $385,750. This year’s $10K is expected to deliver another deep field packed with seasoned pros, online crushers, and fearless satellite qualifiers looking to make a name for themselves. Both high rollers will feature slow, longer structures and are expected to draw some of the toughest lineups of the week.
Options for Everyone
While the headliners command most of the attention, the NAPT Las Vegas schedule shines for its diversity. Across ten days, players will find a full slate of No-Limit Hold’em, PLO, Mystery Bounty, and specialty events designed for every bankroll and skill level. The Women’s Event returns with a $330 buy-in and a boosted $50,000 guarantee, reflecting PokerStars’ ongoing commitment to creating space for women in the live poker scene. There’s also a $1,100 Women’s High Roller, which provides a higher-stakes alternative and typically draws a strong, competitive field.
Pot-Limit Omaha fans will find plenty to love as well, including an early-week $1,100 PLO and a $5,200 PLO Single Re-Entry for those who like their action a bit wilder. These events tend to bring out a colorful mix of Vegas locals, traveling pros, and PLO specialists who are always ready to gamble.
Then there’s the ever-popular $550 Mystery Bounty, featuring a $200,000 guarantee and plenty of envelope-chasing excitement. With surprise bounties often rivaling final-table payouts, these tournaments add a shot of adrenaline to the schedule and attract both casual and serious players alike.
Beyond those highlights, the festival will be filled with affordable daily events and satellites, including multiple $360 No-Limit Hold’em re-entries, ensuring that everyone, from first timers to seasoned pros, has a seat at the table.
