The NAPT Comes to Mohegan Sun

Six weeks ago the PokerStars.net North American Poker Tour hosted its first stand-alone. 872 players entered a $5,000 no-limit hold'em tournament held at the Venetian Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. The success of that tournament, in a market fraught with uncertainty, instantly changed the face of poker in North America.

For Round 2 we've moved to the picturesque Mohegan Sun Casino in the woods of Connecticut. A week and a half of preliminary events have already been completed. Last night the official welcome party was held at Ultra88 night club inside the casino, where the free booze was flowing past the witching hour. Today upwards of 700 players are expected to shake off their hangovers and enter the field for the NAPT Mohegan Sun $5,000 Main Event.

The earliest arrivals are already filing into the high-ceilinged ballroom where the tournament is to be held. In fifteen minutes, they'll start the battle to see who will emerge as the champion five days from now.

The PokerNews team of reporters is stationed in the center of the ballroom. Keep your browser pointed here for the next five days as we bring you all of the action, from the first riffle to the last river!
