Sami Bechahed, 2023 NAPT Main Event Winner

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 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Eliezer Elefant raised to 800 from under the gun, and was called by Norman Rodriguez on the button, Thomas Hill in the small blind, and the big blind John Wilson.

All four players checked after the Q♠Q♥8♦ flop.

After the K♣ on the turn, it checked to Elefant, who bet out 1,000. Rodriguez called, and both Hill and Wilson folded.

The river card was the 3♣ and Elefant checked to Rodriguez, who bet 2,700. Elefant then raised to 7,000, which got Rodriguez to muck his hand and give the pot to Elefant.

After the hand Elefant showed the tabled K♦Q♦ for a full house, queens full of kings.
