PokerStars NAPT Venetian

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.

PokerStars Russian Poker Tour Moscow Results

The PokerStars Russian Poker Tour Moscow wrapped up with an exciting final table on May 17 comprised of 100% Russian natives and that included two Team PokerStars Pro players (Alex Kravchenko and Ivan Demidov). The winner of RPT Moscow, Vitaly Lunkin was actually last in chip count at the start of the final table, climbing out of his 120,500-chip disadvantage to surpass all 8 other players ahead of him to take first place.

Ivan Demidov was in the final table at last year’s World Series of Poker Main Event. In this year’s RPT Moscow, he came in 6th place. Alex Kravchenko came in fourth place in the WSOP Main Event the year prior to that. In yesterday’s event, he came in 8th.

Lunkin’s claim to fame, however, is not as a professional poker player but as a former backgammon champ. His prize of 14,323,000 rubles equates to about $455,000 American.
