The first stop of the PokerStars North American Poker Tour (NAPT) in 12 years is almost upon us, and there are only a few opportunities left to win one of the remaining NAPT Las Vegas packages through the PokerStars online platform.
Last weekend, PokerStars handed out thirty NAPT packages to players in New Jersey, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Ontario, while players from Europe and the rest of the world had a chance to fight for six packages across two major satellites.
The Road to NAPT promotion, which gave out dozens of NAPT packages to players in the US and Ontario, is now over, with final qualification opportunities left to international PokerStars players on October 26 and 29.
Step satellites are running at PokerStars as we speak, so if you do not want to waste any time, head on over and register with PokerStars to make sure you get as many chances to win a seat in one of the direct qualifiers left this week, or keep reading and find out exactly what you stand to win and other details of the remaining NAPT satellites.
Six NAPT Las Vegas Packages Up for Grabs
Mere days separate us from the beginning of the NAPT festival in Las Vegas now, which will officially start on November 4, with a few live satellite options available on November 3 as well.
Before that, international PokerStars players will have two final opportunities to qualify for their seat in the Main Event, with a Qualifier on October 26 offering one package guaranteed and the Mega Qualifier on October 29 offering at least five packages worth $5k each.
Of course, if there is enough interest in the satellites, the number of packages given away could also grow, and given that this is the last chance to win one of them, there may be more than a few players interested in giving it a shot.
Each package won through either of the two satellites will be worth $5k in total, with $1650 of that reserved for the Main Event buy-in, $720 paid into the player’s PokerStars balance (for travel costs), and the rest used to pay for 7 nights’ stay at the Resorts World Las Vegas for two people.
If you are lucky enough to win one of the packages, you will get to bring a travel companion to Las Vegas and share a room at Resorts World, which means you will stay at the venue hosting all NAPT events.
To recap, here is a quick look at the two remaining NAPT Las Vegas satellites you can play on the international PokerStars platform:
| Date | Event | Buy-In | Guaranteed Packages |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oct 26 | NAPT Qualifier (3 Re-Entries) | $215 | 1 Package |
| Oct 29 | NAPT Mega Qualifier (3 Re-Entries) | $215 | 5 Packages |
Step Satellites Still Available
Before the two final direct qualifiers for the NAPT kick-off, a number of step satellites are also available, giving you a chance to win your package at a significantly reduced price.
Currently, PokerStars is running two types of step satellites, with regular speed steps at $11 and turbo steps at $16.50.
Each day between now and the start of each of the two direct satellites, you will be able to play step satellites during prime time hours of the day and win your $215 satellite tickets, good for entry into one of the two events.
Last Call for NAPT Online Qualifiers
It is about to be an exciting week at PokerStars for all players still hoping to win their seats in the historic event that will mark the return of NAPT and PokerStars live tours to American soil.
If you still have not booked your seat at the table and are not sure whether paying the price of buy-in and accommodations in full is worth it, two final opportunities are available at PokerStars to avoid all that and only pay a small satellite buy-in fee to enjoy the whole experience.
Download the PokerStars app now, buy into the next step satellite to win your $215 ticket, and take the last two opportunities to qualify for NAPT Las Vegas before the festival officially kicks off.
