NAPT Season 1 will be aired on ESPN 2

Season 1 of the North American Poker Tour finally has a television broadcasting partner, ESPN2.   Beginning in April, 16 hours of programming will be broadcasted.  This includes the 2010 PCA (Pokerstars Caribbean Adventure), the Mohegan Sun events, and the NAPT Venetian happening right now.  Not only will the main event be shown, so will the $25k high rollers event.  PokerStars.tv will also be showing live feeds of various napt related events. 

There is also a rumour that Amanda Leatherman will host the NAPT shows on ESPN2.  You may remember Amanda from WPT and PokerRoad fame.  So will they have a ESPN and a NAPT host?  (Joanna Krupa)

No word yet on where to watch NAPT in Canada yet.  Nothing else on the Canada NAPT front either, though there is a rumour that the WPT (World Poker Tour) will hold 2 events in Canada in 2010.  Go Party Poker.  Stay tuned.

Here is the current ESPN schedule:

April 19: Venetian $25,000 high-roller bounty shootout (9-11 pm. ET)
April 26: Venetian $25,000 high-roller bounty shootout (9 pm ET)
April 26: Venetian $5,000 main event (10 pm ET)
May 3: Mohegan Sun shootout (9-11 pm ET)
May 10: Mohegan Sun shootout (9 pm ET)
May 10: Mohegan Sun $5,000 main event (10 pm ET)
May 17: PokerStars Caribbean Adventure $25,000 high-roller (9-11 pm ET)

    When are you going to publish a larger schedule?

    With ( it looks like ) the World Poker Open leaving Tunica and many top Pros ( Phil Ivey, Phil Helmuth, Todd Brunson ) talking about that tournament being one of the best in the WORLD… it seems to me that if you scheduled an NAPT there with a similar blind schedule to the WPO, you draw big. The only large turnament left in Tunica now is the WSOP circuit. Us Mid south boys are hungry for another big tourney in this area.

    To Whom it may concern.

    I received an email from a

    Scott Seiver, who says he is North American Poker Tour Coordinator and Investor. He says he is looking for personal representatives (Team Members) in various regions to handle money transfers by Western Union and such to send to players. You can reach me at the above email address and I can send you a copy of the job offer to see if this is a scam or not. Is this legitimate?
    Sincerely
    Mike Watson
