PokerStars recently announced the dates for the return of NAPT Las Vegas, which will be hosted by the Resorts World Casino from November 1 — 10, and the operator is now offering players in Pennsylvania a chance to win their way to the event by playing in the upcoming Pennsylvania State Poker Championship.
Running at the Live! Hotel and Casino Philadelphia from August 21 — September 8, the Championship will host a variety of tournaments with accessible buyins, and three of those will award a PokerStars Gold Pass for one of the players in the field.
The Pennsylvania State Poker Championship offers both an opportunity to book a ticket to the NAPT and to hone your poker skills ahead of the culminating event of the year.
- $150 no deposit bonus
- Best MTT action
- Cash game variety
PokerStars Associate Director of Live Event Operations Cedric Billot commented: “We are thrilled to collaborate with the Pennsylvania State Poker Championships and to be able to offer additional prizes to players, allowing them to join us this November in Las Vegas for the NAPT.”
Win a Gold Pass in Three Key Events
For the second time this summer, PokerStars is giving away three valuable NAPT Gold Passes via a State Championship event, this time the Pennsylvania State Poker Championship.
Three Gold Passes are up for grabs, but each will be given away in a different tournament, which means players will have three separate opportunities to fight for one of the packages.
The tournaments offering the passes are:
- 550 No Limit Hold’em Multi Flight (Aug 21 — 25)
- 1,100 No Limit Hold’em Multi Flight (Aug 29 — Sep 1)
- 2,200 Main Event (Sep 4 — 8)
The first of the three Gold Passes will be awarded in the $550 NLH Multi Flight, with the last online qualifier standing in the field receiving the Gold Pass.
This means not everyone in the tournament will have a chance to play for the Pass, increasing the chances for all the online qualifiers in the event.
Everyone else will have a chance to play for two other Gold Passes, which will be awarded to the champions of the $1,100 NLH Multi Flight event starting on August 29 and the $2,200 Main Event.
These champions will be awarded the packages on top of their first-place prizes, adding another $10k of value to their wins.
What’s an NAPT Gold Pass Worth?
You may be wondering what exactly an NAPT Gold Pass is worth and what kind of experience it will provide you.
The NAPT Gold Pass, which is the last step in the Path to NAPT promotion PokerStars has been running as part of the PokerStars Power Path, is worth $10,000 in total.
This includes the $5,300 NAPT Las Vegas Main Event seat, $1,800 in cash you receive to cover your travel costs, and seven nights for the winner and one guest at the luxurious Resorts World Las Vegas.
All Gold Pass winners will get to be in Sin City from November 4 to 11, with the Main Event itself running from November 5 — 10.
The valuable package offers more than just an entry into the event, but rather a full VIP experience that most poker players dream of their whole lives.
NAPT Is Coming Back This November
The NAPT made its long-awaited return last years with the Las Vegas event, and this year the festival is coming back to Resorts World Casino in a big way.
The city will be buzzing with excitement for the first two weeks of November as poker players flock to the venue and chase after valuable NAPT silverware and hundreds of thousands of dollars in prize money offered in the key events.
Join the Pennsylvania State Poker Championship later this summer for your chance to win an NAPT package and play this year’s NAPT Las Vegas for free.
