PokerStars NAPT Venetian
February 7, 2010
This is the first season of the PokerStars North American Poker Tour, having started in January with the PCA (PokerStars Caribbean Adventure). Now the second event on the inaugural PokerStars NAPT schedule, NAPT Venetian, is almost here, marking the first time ever that PokerStars is hosting a tournament in Las Vegas.
The NAPT Venetian runs from February 20 to 25 and will be a $5,000 buy-in event coinciding with the Deep Stack Extravaganza that is held each year at the Venetian Casino as part of the Wynn Las Vegas Wynn Classic Tournament (February 24 – March 17).
Satellites and Super Satellites have been running at PokerStars throughout the past several months for free seats into these events, first the NAPT Bahamas and then the NAPT Venetian. Next up after this will be the NAPT Mohegan Sun at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut. With the NAPT Mohegan Sun not happening til later this spring, interested players still have plenty of time to get over to PokerStars and try and satellite their way into the event.
