The North American Poker Tour was a series of international poker tournaments held in North America. The NAPT included an associated television series broadcasting the final table of some of the tournaments. The NAPT was started in 2010 by PokerStars, then the largest online poker cardroom in the world. The televised series aired on ESPN2 in the United States. Players were able to enter the NAPT events by paying the entry fee or by playing online poker freeroll satellites on the PokerStars.net domain. Season 1 consisted of 7 events played in 2010. Season 2 saw 3 events played in early 2011 before competition was suspended. On April 15, 2011, along with similar competitors' sites, Pokerstars.com was seized and shut down by U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, which alleged it was in violation of federal bank fraud and money laundering laws. The company subsequently stopped allowing players from the United States to play real money games and temporarily moved the main company website to Pokerstars.eu. As of February 13, 2012, the NAPT website, and information on remaining events for Season 2, has not been updated since the April 15, 2011 seizure. The last NAPT event had concluded just 2 days earlier, on April 13, 2011, when Vanessa Selbst defended her Season 1 NAPT Mohegan Sun victory by winning the Season 2 NAPT Mohegan Sun event.

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.

Plus this is a shootout, so only the winner from the opening round table advances to the final table (and pockets $75,000 along the way). The first of two opening rounds had huge stars like Barry Greenstein, Annie Duke, Joe Hachem, Greg Raymer, Vanessa Rousso, Antonio Esfandiari, Jennifer Tilly and more.

All three champions were in action during this round, but at center stage was the undisputed people's champion...Daniel Negreanu.

At a feature table that also included WSOP bracelet winners John Hennigan and Phil Galfond, Negreanu would try to flex his poker muscle at this unique event he helped to create.
