North American Poker Tour in Vegas Returns Nov. 1 w/ $4 Million Guaranteed

Must read


The countdown has begun for the second annual PokerStars North American Poker Tour (NAPT) stop at Resorts World in Las Vegas, and this year’s edition comes with $4 million in guarantees.

Action begins on the Strip Nov. 1, and the series runs through Nov. 10. There will be many similarities to the 2023 festival at Resorts. But also plenty of new tournaments on the schedule, which you can view below.

Here’s What to Look Out For

Play starts at noon PT on Nov. 1 with the first — and then second later in the day — of five Day 1 starting flights for the $550 Mystery Bounty event. The no-limit hold’em tournament promises a combined prize pool of at least $300,000. Day 2 takes place Nov. 4, the same day the tournament is scheduled to play down to a winner.

Poker players will notice a few new branded events at the NAPT in Las Vegas this year. Cardplayer Lifestyle and the RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) will have some branded events, starting with the $1,100 RunGood Poker Open on Nov. 4, a $400,000 guaranteed tournament. Cardplayer Lifestyle has three branded NAPT events on the schedule — $550 H.E.R.O.S. (Nov. 7), $5,300 8-Game (Nov. 8), and $550 8-Game (Nov. 9).

PokerStars, the world’s leading online poker site, is also hosting a $30,000 guaranteed Ladies Event Nov. 5, which costs $330 to enter. And of course the biggest event of them all — $5,300 Main Event — starts Nov. 5 at noon.

The Main Event features a $3 million guaranteed prize pool and three Day 1 starting flights. Sami Bechahed, a former poker deal, took down last year’s NAPT Las Vegas Main Event for $268,945, beating out 1,095 entrants. The entry fee in 2023 was $1,650, but the price of poker is going up this year.

The NAPT Las Vegas series will wrap on Nov. 10 with the Main Event final table — Day 5. PokerNews will be on-site throughout the series providing live reporting updates for each tournament, along with exclusive feature stories from Resorts World.
