POKERSTARS.NET SPONSORS EXCITING NEW NORTH AMERICAN POKER TOUR

Januar 7, 2010

PokerStars.net is delighted to announce the launch of the long awaited PokerStars.net North American
Poker Tour (NAPT).
The NAPT is the first major poker tour in North America created by poker players for poker players with
accessible buy-ins, expectations for massive prize pools and thousands of players from around the
world all competing for millions of dollars. The NAPT will start at the PokerStars.net Caribbean
Adventure (PCA) in the Bahamas on January 5, 2010.
Two further stops are already planned for the NAPT’s inaugural season, with more events to be
announced soon. The NAPT Venetian event in Las Vegas, Nevada, from February 20-24 will be the
Main Event of The Venetian’s Deep Stack Extravaganza I; and the NAPT Mohegan Sun Main Event in
Uncasville, Connecticut, from April 7-11 will be the star feature of a spectacular new poker festival there
this Spring.
Both Main Event buy-ins will be $5,000 and like the PCA will feature an exciting variety of side events
with a broad range of buy-ins to suit all players.
Joanna Krupa, famed from appearing on “Dancing with the Stars” and “PokerStars.net Million Dollar
Challenge” will be its TV host. It will feature the very best players from North America and from around
the world, including team members Joe Cada, Greg Raymer, Vanessa Rousso and Daniel Negreanu
who is among those who have been eagerly awaiting the launch of the NAPT.
“I’m really looking forward to the launch of the NAPT. PokerStars.net has done an excellent job
sponsoring meaningful tournaments around the world with the EPT, LAPT, APPT, and various other
local tours – and it’s exciting to see them coming to my home town of Las Vegas! With the addition of
the NAPT, I’ll have a chance to play some tournaments on home soil, and I’m very excited about that,”
said Negreanu
The Venetian Las Vegas and Mohegan Sun will provide perfect backdrops for each of the Main Events,
fitting destinations for what is expected to be a popular tour. The Venetian is the largest property in the
country to receive AAA’s Five Diamond and Mobil Four-Star Awards and is home to The Grand Canal
Shoppes, Canyon Ranch SpaClub, world-class gaming, exquisite restaurants and a wide variety of
entertainment. Mohegan Sun, owned by the Mohegan Tribe, is one of the largest, most distinctive and
spectacular entertainment, and gaming, shopping and meeting destinations in the United States.
PokerStars.net will provide the easiest possible way to qualify for the tournaments with free packages up
for grabs on PokerStars.net. Daily NAPT Venetian freerolls are scheduled on PokerStars.net and can be
found in the PokerStars.net lobby under Events/Special. Here players can win the $5,000 seat, plus
accommodation, for absolutely nothing.
