After the successful 2023 return of the North American Poker Tour (NAPT) in Las Vegas, PokerStars announced that the NAPT will be back at Resorts World Las Vegas this year for ten days of tournament poker action.

The 2024 NAPT Las Vegas festival will take place Nov. 1-10, culminating with a $5,300 buy-in NAPT Main Event — an increase from last year's $1,650 price tag — after a successful event with a strong turnout in 2023.

“Last year, the NAPT smashed all expectations, so this year, we’re going even bigger," PokerStars North America Vice President Steve Preiss said in a press release. "With a premier partner like Resorts World Las Vegas, we’re stepping up our game: bigger tournaments, buy-ins, and player-focused events.”

Level 10 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Action was picked up on the flop with roughly 15,000 in the pot, and the board showing 2♥7♣6♥.

James Crawford bet out 10,000 from middle position, and a player on the button raised all in for 18,300 total. Crawford flicked in a chip to make the call and put his opponent at risk.

Button: K♥K♦ All in
James Crawford: 4♥2♦

When the player with pocket kings saw Crawford's hand, he told the dealer "Oh no, not like this" and right away the turn was the 4♣ to give Crawford the lead with two pair. The river was the A♥ which did not improve the pocket kings, and Crawford secured the pot and eliminated his opponent.
