Nikolai Mamut NAPTIt took until around 2:30 a.m., after more than 14 hours of play, to crown a champion of the PokerStars North American Poker Tour (NAPT) Las Vegas PS Open, but for Nikolai Mamut, the wait was much longer.
Mamut had spent years grinding PokerStars events around the world trying to get his hands on the prestigious shard trophy. His wait finally ended today inside Resorts World Las Vegas, when the Russian-born, UK-based pro emerged from a field of 947 entries to defeat Terrance Reid heads-up and earn the $158,700 top prize.
