$5,300 NAPT High Roller
Day 1 Started
The PokerStars North American Poker Tour Las Vegas has officially made its return to the United States at Resorts World Las Vegas and today kicks off the inaugural $5,300 High Roller Event. The event boasts a healthy $500,000 guarantee, and the action begins at 12:30 p.m. local time.
Multiple events have already kicked off or been completed at this year's NAPT. The main event has been a huge success, and after drawing a massive 1,095-player field, the players are returning this afternoon for the tournament's third day. Jesse Lonis was also fortunate enough to take down the $10,300 Super High Roller event to cement his name in history as the NAPT makes its return. However, players who were not able to make their NAPT main event dreams come true will have another opportunity at some hardware today in the High Roller.
This tournament features a 50,000 starting stack and players will begin at the 100/200/200 blind level. The event begins with 60-minute levels on Day 1, then moves to 40-minute levels on Day 2, and then back to 60-minute levels on Day 3.
There will be a 20-minute break after every two levels and a 60-minute dinner break after Level 6. Day 1 will play a total of ten levels, while Day 2 will play down to a six-person final table that will return on Day 3 for cards-up coverage on the PokerStars Youtube channel.
This is a single reentry tournament and registration remains open until the start of Day 2. Players who find a bag on Day 1 will return for Day 2 on Saturday, November 11th, at 12:30 p.m., followed by Day 3 on Sunday, November 12th, at 12:30 p.m.
The return of the NAPT has already been a massive success. It will be interesting to see how many players come out to attempt a run at one of the pieces of coveted PokerStars hardware, the first-place prize, and the glory.
Tune into PokerNews for all of the updates to see who will make their run at a potential life-changing score!

Brendan Ferguson had just sat down when the action folded to the small blind who limped before Ferguson checked behind in the big blind.
The 10♦J♣A♦ flop landed and the small blind led out for 200. Ferguson snap raised to 700 and after a moment the small blind called.
The 3♦ rolled off on the turn and the small blind check-called an 1,100 bet from Ferguson on their way to a J♥ river.
The small blind checked one more time and Ferguson didn't waste a moment before moving all in for about five times the pot. The small blind quickly got out of the way and Ferguson dragged a nice pot to start the day.

There are plenty of reasons to be excited about the return of the PokerStars North American Poker Tour (NAPT) to Las Vegas this week, including satellites into The Big Game on Tour and the $1,650 NAPT Las Vegas Main Event that will name the first NAPT champion in over a decade.
Another reason to be excited about NAPT Las Vegas is that it is taking place at Resorts World, one of the newest and most exciting attractions in Sin City that features state-of-the-art entertainment, dining, and one of the best poker rooms in all of Vegas.
Here is your guide for everything to do at Resorts World during the NAPT Las Vegas festival.
The action folded to Andrew Moreno on the button who opened to 500. The small blind folded before Antonio De La Cruz called from the big blind.
The K♦9♦J♥ flop landed and action checked to Moreno who continued for 400. De La Cruz called and the 2♥ rolled off on the turn.
Action checked through to a 9♣ river and De La Cruz checked one more time before the action was on Moreno. He sat in the tank for a few more moments and then opted to fire again for 1,000. De La Cruz gave it some thought but eventually his cards found the muck.
Moreno scooped and was involved again just a few hands later.
