Registration night will be held on Thursday April 5 from 7:00 – 9:30 at Wrigley’s Field Sports Bar and Grill located in the Howard Johnson’s hotel in St. Catharines. Registration night incentive: Bring 10 paid entries and the 11th seat is free – valid only on or before Registration Night. Registration fee of $60 valid on or before registration night, $70 registration thereafter. This is to help eliminate administration and give an incentive for players to register for this event.
Our last tournament had 192 players, and we expect this tournament to sell out, JUDGE YOUR ENTRY ACCORDINGLY!
“Open” seat registration begins at 9:30 on tournament day and is available on a first come first served basis – limited to the balance of “open” seats available (first 200 players to pay entry are in tournament). If bringing more than one entrant, please ensure that you have the first and last names of all the players you are bringing.
Entry fees are to be paid to: Stuart Kerr or Jeff Murphy. Cash in hand is your entry – NO promissory notes will be accepted. Contact: niagara_poker@hotmail.com for additional tournament information. Players must be 19 years of age as of tournament date to play. Photo ID may be required – as deemed necessary by the Tournament Director(s). To help eliminate tournament administration, when entry fee is paid, you are committed to play, no refunds will be given to those entrants who do not attend event once entry fee is paid, nor will any refunds be issued for those entrants who arrive past the first blind passing (20 minutes). Seating and tables will be predetermined – players will be seated randomly as per “tournament director” computer program as entries are received.
Each player will receive $2000 in chips for their buy in (8 x $25, 8 x $100, 2 x $500). Each player will receive $1000 (2 X $500) for their optional $20 add on. All add ons must be purchased prior to the first blind passing – you must have chips to add on. Only one add on per player. This is a no limit Texas hold ‘em event. You are eliminated from the tournament when you lose all your chips – there are NO rebuys in this tournament. The final table will not stop until one player holds all the chips.That player will be declared the 1st place finisher. The last player eliminated will be the 2nd place finisher; the second last player eliminated will be the 3rd place finisher, etc. When the tournament begins, each player (at each respective table) is internally dealt a single card. The high card is seated at the button, the player to the left of the button is the small blind and to the left of the small blind is the big blind. High card ties are broken by a second dealt card until a high card is declared. Blinds will increase every 20 minutes as shown on a screen by the “Tournament Director” computer program. See the blind schedule below. Only the final table will be dealt by one of the Tournament Directors, or person appointed by the Tournament Director(s).
STANDARD POKER RULES APPLY, USING ROBERT’S RULES OF POKER AS A GUIDELINE. TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR DECISIONS ARE FINAL.
Blind Schedule:Blinds will increase every 20 minutes.

Help a Child Smile is an organization focused on children with cancer treated at the Children's Hospital at Hamilton Health Sciences Corporation by providing opportunities for them and their families to smile and have fun.
