There are plenty of reasons to be excited about the return of the PokerStars North American Poker Tour (NAPT) to Las Vegas this week, including satellites into The Big Game on Tour and the $1,650 NAPT Las Vegas Main Event that will name the first NAPT champion in over a decade.
Another reason to be excited about NAPT Las Vegas is that it is taking place at Resorts World Las Vegas, one of the newest and most exciting attractions in Sin City that features state-of-the-art entertainment, dining, and one of the best poker rooms in all of Vegas.
Here is your guide for everything to do at Resorts World during the NAPT Las Vegas festival.
With 135 entries on the tournament clock, the remaining 76 players have been sent on a 60-minute dinner break. Play will resume at approximately 5:50 p.m.
The board read 2♦10♣J♣2♣7♠ with around 25,000 in the middle.
Dongwoo Ko fired a bet of 32,000 out on the river from the big blind and stared out in front of him. Joe Tehan was in the tank on the button and went through all the options in his head. After a while, he opted to fold.
"Just for PokerNews!" Ko said with a huge smile before flipping his Q♣3♠ open for the bluff.
"What are you guys doing?" Richard Alati exclaimed, who had stayed behind to watch the end of the hand while the rest of the tournament had gone for their dinner break.
"I was so close!" Tehan said with some despair in his voice before showing the 3♥3♣ which would have won him the hand.
Ko just smiled even more while raking in the pot.
Maxx Coleman under the gun, Damjan Radanov in the cutoff, and Liran Betito in the big blind each committed 6,200 preflop.
The trio checked the J♥8♦3♣ flop to the 6♠ turn. Betito bet 10,000, Coleman folded, and Radanov splashed in a raise to 25,000. Betito let go of his hand and Radanov added to his stack.
