No. It's always been the Festa. The Doyle Brunson North American Championship is yet another WPT event that takes place at the Bellagio. WPT Championship is another event as well.

[/ QUOTE ]Are you sure about that. I thought the Doyle Brunson North American Classic was the championship 10K event of the Festa Al Lago last year.

I retract my previous statement. The DBNAC was part of the Festa Al Lago up until 2005. It is now part of the 5th Annual 5 Diamond.
