The PokerStars North American Poker Tour (NAPT) is returning after a 12-year hiatus, and where better to get the show on the road than fabulous Las Vegas? November 4-12 are the dates to highlight in your diaries because that is when NAPT Las Vegas heads to Resorts World in "Sin City."
The 2023 NAPT Las Vegas takes place just one week before the most anticipated Formula 1 Grand Prix in history, which takes place through the streets of Las Vegas. PokerStars will be there, Oracle Red Bull Racing will be there, will you?
Although primarily aimed at the North American market, the NAPT is open to all, and PokerNews expects players to travel from far and wide to get involved in this historic rebirth. A $1,650 buy-in NAPT Las Vegas Main Event runs from November 6-11, and a $550 PokerStars Cup is scheduled for November 9-12, with a $5,300 High Roller attracting the biggest names between November 10-12. The full 2023 NAPT Las Vegas schedule will be released in due course.
Steve Preiss, Vice President for PokerStars North America, cannot wait for the first NAPT in 12 years to shuffle up and deal at Resorts World.
"We are delighted to announce the return of this iconic series and once again hold the NAPT for poker players in North America. We're working hard to ensure this is a spectacular series and can't wait to head to Las Vegas to get the show on the road."
There were a few folds before a player in middle position raised to 6,000. The cutoff called, Lin An called from the small blind, and the big blind called. Four ways to a flop.
The 4♥8♠5♣ flop landed and action checked to the original raiser who bet 10,000. The cutoff called, An called, and the big blind folded.
The K♦ landed on the turn and action quickly checked through to a 9♠ river. An sat in the tank for a moment before leading out for 35,000. Both of his opponents tanked for a few moments but eventually found a fold.
An dragged a healthy pot with less than half of the field left to be eliminated before the bubble.
