A pause for the flashbacks to bring some pretty cool news as PokerStars finally comes state-bound to the Venetian next month.
POKERSTARS.NET SPONSORS EXCITING NEW NORTH AMERICAN POKER TOUR
PokerStars.net is delighted to announce the launch of the long awaited
PokerStars.net North American Poker Tour (NAPT).
The NAPT is the first major poker tour in North America created by poker
players for poker players with accessible buy-ins, expectations for
massive prize pools and thousands of players from around the world all
competing for millions of dollars. The NAPT will start at the
PokerStars.net Caribbean Adventure (PCA) in the Bahamas on January 5,
2010.
Two further stops are already planned for the NAPT’s inaugural season,
with more events to be announced soon. The NAPT Venetian event in Las
Vegas, Nevada, from February 20-24 will be the Main Event of The
Venetian’s Deep Stack Extravaganza I; and the NAPT Mohegan Sun Main Event
in Uncasville, Connecticut, from April 7-11 will be the star feature of a
spectacular new poker festival there this Spring.
Both Main Event buy-ins will be $5,000 and like the PCA will feature an
exciting variety of side events with a broad range of buy-ins to suit all
players.
Joanna Krupa, famed from appearing on “Dancing with the Stars”
and “PokerStars.net Million Dollar Challenge” will be its TV host. It will
feature the very best players from North America and from around the
world, including team members Joe Cada, Greg Raymer, Vanessa Rousso and
Daniel Negreanu who is among those who have been eagerly awaiting the
launch of the NAPT.
“I'm really looking forward to the launch of the NAPT. PokerStars.net has
done an excellent job sponsoring meaningful tournaments around the world
with the EPT, LAPT, APPT, and various other local tours – and it’s
exciting to see them coming to my home town of Las Vegas! With the
addition of the NAPT, I'll have a chance to play some tournaments on home
soil, and I'm very excited about that,” said Negreanu
The Venetian Las Vegas and Mohegan Sun will provide perfect backdrops for
each of the Main Events, fitting destinations for what is expected to be a
popular tour. The Venetian is the largest property in the country to
receive AAA’s Five Diamond and Mobil Four-Star Awards and is home to The
Grand Canal Shoppes, Canyon Ranch SpaClub, world-class gaming, exquisite
restaurants and a wide variety of entertainment. Mohegan Sun, owned by the
Mohegan Tribe, is one of the largest, most distinctive and spectacular
entertainment, and gaming, shopping and meeting destinations in the United
States.
PokerStars.net will provide the easiest possible way to qualify for the
tournaments with free packages up for grabs on PokerStars.net. Daily NAPT
Venetian freerolls are scheduled on PokerStars.net and can be found in the
PokerStars.net lobby under Events/Special. Here players can win the $5,000
seat, plus accommodation, for absolutely nothing.
