Flashback: Nick Marchington Wins 2024 NAPT Las Vegas Main Event
After the confetti had rained down, the trophy had been raised, and the lights had gone off at the second edition of the PokerStars North American Poker Tour Las Vegas $5,300 Main Event, Nick Marchington had one reaction to what his run was like: it felt like a dream.
The 26-year-old UK pro started the final table as a massive chip leader and never lost it, putting on one of the most dominant final table performances in recent memory on his way to being crowned NAPT champion and taking home the $765,200 top prize.
“It really was a dream. It’s one of the most fun experiences I’ve had playing poker,” Marchington said after clinching the title. “Obviously, everyone loves to come in being the chip leader, and I was very lucky to be able to maintain the chip lead and not even come close to losing it for pretty much the whole final table.”
