Mixed Things Up at Resorts World

The Mixed Game Festival, which takes place several times a year, is a favorite of serious poker enthusiasts looking for a switch-up from Texas Hold'em. Previous festivals have drawn legendary poker figures including Poker Hall of Famer Eli Elezra and Women in Poker Hall of Famers Linda Johnson and Jan Fisher.

Like previous editions, Mixed Game Festival IX will feature cash games with stakes ranging from $4/$8 up to $20/$40 inside the Resorts World Poker Room.

The three tournaments, meanwhile, will take place in the Resorts World Convention Centre on the second floor with the rest of the NAPT Las Vegas festival. The three events include a $550 H.E.R.O.S. event, a $550 8-Game event and a $5,300 8-Game event.

Two seats will be awarded to the $550 buy-in events throughout the festival, and, as always, there will be plenty of merchandise and prizes to win.

“We're thrilled to be hosting the upcoming NAPT once again this year starting November 1st. And that's not all – we're bringing together two of our favorite events: the NAPT and the Cardplayer Lifestyle's Mixed Game Festival! This is going to be an unforgettable experience. Mark your calendars and join us for an incredible time!” Resorts World Director of Poker Operations Leon Wheeler said in a press release.

Gear Up for NAPT Las Vegas

It will be a busy fall for Resorts World as the luxurious casino gears up for NAPT Las Vegas.

On Oct. 12, the Resorts World Poker Room will host a PokerNews meet-up game to promote a $10,000 Gold Pass giveaway on the PokerNews Podcast and Life Outside Poker podcasts.

There are plenty of other chances to win Gold Passes and several passes have already been awarded.

Throughout the festival, PokerStars will again film a season of The Big Game on Tour.

The festival will culminate with a $5,300 buy-in NAPT Main Event, an increase from the $1,650 price tag for last year's event.
