Season 2 Highlights
Mohegan Sun | 387 players | $1,764,330 prize pool | 1st: Vanessa Selbst ($450,000)
History was made at the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut, as the NAPT crowned its first-ever double winner. Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst played through a tough field to claim victory and $450,000, edging out a final table that included Joe Tehan, who was also gunning for a second title. The end came when Selbst’s K-7 flopped two pair against heads-up opponent Dan Shak’s J-7.
PCA | 1,560 players | $15,132,000 prize pool | 1st: Galen Hall ($2,300,000)
Season 2 started at the PCA, where a record-breaking field, including many of poker’s biggest names, gathered to play for the huge $15,132,000 prize pool. California’s Galen Hall booked the win, taking home $2,300,000 after his heads-up victory over PokerStars qualifier Chris Oliver. Team PokerStars Pro Chris Moneymaker also came close to winning big, but fell short of the final table after busting in 11th place.
Please Note: The North American Poker Tour event scheduled for March 5-10, 2011 at the Bicycle Casino in Los Angeles, California, will proceed as previously planned, but not as an NAPT branded event. The NAPT and the Bicycle Casino reached the voluntary decision to hold the event without branding after constructive discussions with California gaming regulators. Both the NAPT and the Bicycle Casino look forward to working with California regulatory authorities as they consider the branding of such events in the future. See the Bicycle Casino website for information about the Main Event and side events.
