PokerStars Awarding NAPT Gold Passes During Poker Masters
The 2024 Poker Masters series kicked off yesterday at PokerGO Studios in Las Vegas with Event #1: $5,100 No-Limit Hold’em, and with the start of the series came the news that the series will be presented by the PokerStars North American Poker Tour (NAPT).
The Poker Masters series runs Sept. 10-19 and features eight tournaments with buy-ins ranging from $5,100 to $25,200. In addition to the coveted Purple Jacket and a $25,000 PGT Passport, the series will now award a Gold Pass to NAPT Las Vegas taking place Nov. 1-10.
The $10,000 Gold Pass includes entry into the $3 million guaranteed $5,300 NAPT Las Vegas Main Event, $2,900 for hotel accommodations and $1,800 for expenses.
Another Gold Pass will be awarded to a lucky PokerGO subscriber after a drawing on Oct. 1. Additionally, PokerStars North America platforms will host special tournaments giving players in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ontario a chance to win a Gold Pass and annual PokerGO subscriptions.
As part of the partnership, the NAPT Las Vegas $25,000 Super High Roller and $10,300 High Roller events will count as PGT-qualifying tournaments, meaning players can earn points toward the PGT championship $1 million freeroll.
