One of the things that made the 2024 PokerStars North American Poker Tour Las Vegas so special was the fact the buy-in for the Main Event was raised from $1,650 to $5,300. As a way to make the increased entry fee accessible to everyday players, PokerStars was busy awarding $10,000 Gold Passes via different routes to players from all around the world.
When the tournament kicked off, 115 Gold Pass winners had been minted from Path to the NAPT Satellites, supporting live events, and partner promotions (such as Louis Rivera via the PokerNews Podcast giveaway). Of those, 20 managed to make the money cashing for a combined $241,600!
The Gold Pass winner to do the best was Brian Frasca, a 32-year-old Actuary from Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. He was playing on PokerStars PA and had amassed $100 Step 4 tickets with the plan of firing away at Gold Pass satellite. Well, it only took one bullet to win his way to Las Vegas.
Frasca was the last Gold Pass winner standing in the 2024 NAPT Main Event, but you'll have to click below to see how he did!
