The North American Poker Tour (NAPT) is the American version of the EPT and has brought a number of enticing tournaments to Resorts World Las Vegas. These have also attracted some of the world's star poker names vying for valuable trophies.
Super High Roller
The most expensive tournament of the entire series was the $25,000 buy-in Super High Roller, which attracted 60 entries and a prizepool of $1,440,600. A $439,400 prize awaited the winner here.
The top four players advanced to the final day and were led by Stephen Song, who held more chips than all of his opponents combined. Stephen eventually made it to the final heads-up where Sean Winter sat opposite him. Song handled that player as well and took home the full winner's prize.
