The 2023 PokerStars North American Poker Tour Las Vegas kicked off in style on Sunday with the $10,300 NAPT Super High Roller, an event that has attracted 36 runners so far inside the convention area at Resorts World Las Vegas. Just 16 of those players remain heading into Day 2, which gets underway at 12:30 p.m. local time, with late registration open until the start of play.
Leading the remaining 16 is Israel's Tom Orpaz, who jumped into the action late on Day 1 and wasted no time chipping up through Ping Liu before muscling the chip lead away from young poker star Jesse Lonis.
Orpaz, who is just a few months removed from an impressive EPT Barcelona run that brought him two trophies, will enter Day 2 with more than 230 big blinds with 355,000 chips against fellow big stacks Sergio Aido (233,000), Richard Green (191,000) and Calvin Lee (188,000).

| 10 | Dan Shak | USA | 62,000 | 41 |
Lonis, who himself has had a fantastic year of high-stakes poker, will start the day toward the middle of the pack among the likes of high-stakes regulars Sam Soverel and Dan Shak, while Connecticut's Dylan Destefano and Japanese poker vlogger Masato Yokosawa will try to climb from the bottom of the chip counts.
Day 2 action will kick off on Level 11 with blinds of 1,000/1,500/1,500. Levels will be 60 minutes in duration with a 15-minute break every two levels and a 75-minute dinner break scheduled to take place after Level 16.
There is $349,200 in the prize pool so far, though that number will likely climb before the end of late registration.
Stay tuned as the PokerNews live reporting team is on-site here at Resorts World Las Vegas for the magnificent return of the NAPT festival.
