Nah people will always hate on Chainsaw in every thread without reading the post he's the Dids of MTTc now

They really don't have live satellites to the 5k? 200 is a terrible buyin level, maybe do one 200 one just so theres the chance that someone got in cheap but I say run 500s every day and maybe 3 1ks and 5 500s the 2 days before the event or something.

Maybe we could get someone from venetian to see this. They responded to the thread about the dealer bonus.

dcarp from the venetian has been active in the thread that already exists for this event...

Venetian thread got merged in here because THIS IS THE THREAD ABOUT THE VENETIAN.

+1 for more live sats.

fyi the $200 is a rebuy i believe

In the past, the Venetian tournament crew has been slow to respond to player requests, but they DO respond. The 2009 summer Deepstacks were significantly improved over 2008, with vastly improved structures. The late 2009 Deepstacks saw improved, flatter payouts after pretty much every summer tournament got chopped several ways.

Point being, while it's probably too late in the game to change the schedule for this 5K event, be sure to post your suggestions here and TELL THE STAFF when you arrive. When enough people voice the same opinion, they will change it for next time.

thank you, I was not aware of the 7 day waiting grace for NAPT .

If they don't make this a two day start event it will be a zoo at the Venetian.
I think this will be a huge field.

At the moment Stars' client shows 242 sat qualifiers and 11 direct buy-ins. This event is going to have a good crowd, but I'm sure it won't be so big that the Venetian can't deal with it. No way it gets over 1000.

Hi All,

Kevmath - post #202 - Webcast is still 50/50 at this point, but obviously we want it!

Fatal/Kev - post #205/220 - The (ALL) NAPT Main Events will be played out exactly like the PCA Main Event was. Starting 9/10 handed as necessary but playing 8 handed from Day 3 forward or two tables from the money (in case we hit the money on Day 2). Because of the field size this event is going to generate I can't imagine it not being 10 handed on Day 1, but hopefully we can go 9 on Day 2 and then we WILL go 8 from Day 3 forward. I am in communication with Venetian to have their Main Event Structure Sheet adjusted.

Doublejoker - post #287 - At this late date, adding a second starting date is not feasible for the D.S.E. Schedule. Also, logo policy is always to remain in compliance with local government regulations and our broadcast partners.

Fatal - post #228 - NAPT is NOT part of the B.O.P. promotion....from Venetian..." 1/2% will be withheld from all Deep Stack tournament prize pools for best overall points winners. Super Satellites, 7 pm second chance tournament and the $5,000 NAPT are not part of the overall points race."

In addition to the three Super Satellites running at the Venetian on Friday the 19th, there are LIVE Satellites running at the Mohegan Sun, so if any of you are near them, stop by and try and win yourselves a seat to both NAPT Venetian and NAPT Mohegan Sun

Yea this has always been the ONLY NAPT thread.

Won my 30r turbo last night so see everyone there.

How many other $500 supers are there? If your answer is none, that is disappointing.

NAPT ADDS $25,000 BOUNTY SHOOTOUT (Invitational)

"The NAPT has just announced a new event for the Venetian stop. The Invitational $25,000 High Roller Bounty Shootout is unlike almost any tournament you've ever seen. It's a standard no-limit Texas Hold'em game, but with a couple of twists. First, it's a shootout event. That is, players have to win the equivalent of a $25,000 sit and go to even make it into the money. Not only that, but every player will have a $5,000 bounty on his head. Whoever knocks the player out gets the extra cash.

Oh, and just to make things a little more interesting...PokerStars is adding $100,000 to pay off whoever scores the most bounties........"


Pokerstars is really getting behind the NAPT. Wonder how many entrants they're expecting to invite? I can think of about 10 people offhand I'd like to see enter this.

link?

Also mentioned in the link, everyone at the final table gets $50,000, the rest of the prize pool (minus bounties) will go to the winner.

Seems like this could make for good TV.

i think it will pretty close... especially if stars runs a 50 seat guaranteed sattie on the 14th.... which i am guessing they will...

Seems like some bull**** event designed to get exposure for Stars' pros, frankly. I'm generally opposed to invitational events. I have no idea why they wouldn't want to open this one up, either -- if someone wants to put down $25K to play, why not let him/her?

they want only stars pros on the FT obv

I'd like to see some people petition Stars to be "invited". Mastr, Ike, Menlo, chewy, ae, Ansky, right off the top of my head. Oh, and definitely stealthmunk.

trying to lock myself in, still

Guess I have to go rob a bank now to please gobbomom! Wish me luck!
