This event was the first time a NAPT event was streamed live on ESPN.  There was a one hour tape delay, but viewers were able to catch all the action and not just editor cuts.

Also William Molson of Canada bested out 150 other players to take home the 2011 PCA High Rollers Event.  This $25,000 buy-in had a prize pool of almost $4 million, and with the first place Will Molson won over $1.072 million, the biggest win of his career.

Another Canadian, Andrew Chen also took home a PCA title by winning the $5,000 Bounty Shootout for a total of $269,000.  On the final hand, Chen knocked out both Shaun Deeb and Michael Binger to win it all.

This marked the end of the 2011 PCA, 2012 PCA should be even bigger.  Here is hoping that the next NAPT event will be announced soon as well.

Here are the top 5 payouts

1. Eugene Katchalov, United States, $1,500,000
2. Daniel Negreanu, Canada,  $1,000,000
3. Bryn Kenney, United States, $643,000
4. Nick Schulman, United States, $400,000
5. Humberto Brenes, Costa Rica,  $200,000

The PCA Super High Roller event will be televised on ESPN later this year.  The PCA main event is also running right now.

All the walks, blind steals, checks to showdowns, and all that great stuff that usually gets cut will be on air.

Matt Volk, ESPN manager of programming and acquisitions said, “For the first time viewers at home will see a poker telecast from start to finish, with all the strategy of world-class poker players playing in real time and completely unedited,”

The main event final table (Day 6) should happen on Friday January 14.  Records should be broken this year in regards to the prize pool.  Last year the PCA champion was Harrison Gimbel who took home $2,200,000.

Who will be the 2011 PCA Champion?  See it live on ESPN2 and ESPN3.

When your morning ... more]]> Here is the official annoucement for the PokerStars NAPT North American Poker Tour …  PokerStars Blog

When your morning begins looking into the eyes of Joanna Krupa, it’s pretty certain it’s going to be a good day. When she announces she is the host of a brand new PokerStars tour, you feel it might be a good month. When you learn that tour is going to hit places like Las Vegas’ Venetian and Connecticut’s Mohegan Sun, mark it down as a red letter year.

Just a few minutes ago, Krupa and PokerStars’ global events head Jeffrey Haas stood before the assembled media here at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure and announced the formation of a brand new poker tour.

Officially, the 2010 PCA marks the first event of the North American Poker Tour. From here, the NAPT will head to the Venetian in Las Vegas. As many of you know, the Venetian is famous for its Deep Stack Extravaganza series. February 20-24, the main event of the Deep Stack Extravaganza will be a $5,000 NAPT event.

“I’m excited to play,” Daniel Negreanu told us this morning. “It’s going to be nice to have some events at home in Vegas.”

From there, the NAPT will head to the three million square feet of the Mohegan Sun in Connecticut for a 20-event poker festival in the spring with buy-ins ranging from $200 to $25,000. The $5,000 main event will run April 7-11.

Haas told us this morning that these are just the first events on the schedule and we should expect more announcements in the coming weeks and months.

“We are going to a lot of beautiful places and going to put on some great tournaments,” he said.

Haas and Krupa announce the NAPT

 

Like the EPT, APPT, LAPT, and other PokerStars tours before it, the NAPT will be supported by online PokeStars satellites to the main events. EPT creator John Duthie recalled this morning how humbly his tour began in Season 1 and how quickly it exploded with PokerStars’ support.

“I think the NAPT has a huge future,” Duthie said. “As a player, I am very excited.”

Haas said today that PokerStars has already signed up top television production company 441 (the same group that produces ESPN’s coverage of the WSOP) to produce a brand new NAPT series. What’s more, a television deal is in the works.

“We do have a first tier broadcast partner that will hopefully be announced in the next two weeks,” he said.

And of course, when the show hits television, it will be hosted by Ms. Krupa.

Stay tuned for more details, future NAPT dates, and how you can qualify online at PokerStars.

We’re proud to announce the NAPT. Our new North American Poker Tour kicks off in the Venetian in Las Vegas in February, more news to follow.

5k NAPT main event at the Venetian Deep Stack.

Mohegan Sun in April will be another stop on the tour.

This year’s PCA is the first NAPT event.
Wow this all came out of nowhere.  After it appeared that the North American Poker Tour was dead after all the missed opportunities, looks like it is back and will go forward with strength.  Curious to see wehn the first Canadian stop will be though, as of right now it doesn’t appear as if the Fallsview Poker Classic this weekend will be a NAPT stop.
