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 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Zhenjie Hou limped in under the gun, and Andrew Menneto raised to 600. He was called by a player on the button, the small and big blind, and Hou.

After the 9♥A♣8♠ flop, it checked to Menneto who bet out 1,100. The button called, both the blinds folded, before Hou raised to 4,800. Menneto made the call, and the player on the button folded.

The turn was the 8♥ and Hou bet out 5,500, and Menneto raised to 25,000.

Before the river, Hou bet out 1,000 in the dark, and once the 7♥ hit the felt, Menneto snap called and turned over A♥4♥ for a rivered flush. But Hou had the best hand when he tabled A♠8♣ for a full house, eights full aces to take the pot and nearly double up.
