The North American Poker Tour (NAPT) will return for the first time in over a decade this week. In preparation, let's take a look at the very brief but rather intriguing history of what was once an up-and-coming tour.
PokerStars, which also owns the European Poker Tour (EPT) has decided to re-launch the NAPT as the iconic online poker brand is focused on hosting live poker events in the US again and around North America.
So, what is (or was) the North American Poker Tour? Here's a brief guide to what you missed if you hadn't followed the NAPT from 2010-2011.
Scott Hill was all-in for about 18,000 in the small blind and at risk against Masato Yokosawa on the button.
Scott Hill: A?10?
Masato Yokosawa: A?J?
The A?J?6? flop put Hill way behind, and the J? turn gave Yokosawa a boat. However, the case A? landed on the river and both players had aces full of jacks to chop the pot.
