Fallsview Poker Classic 2012

BlondeFish

Since the Ontario gaming commission vetoed the WPT event for October, :rage: we'll have to settle for the Fallsview Poker Classic.

The Fallsview Poker Classic Tournament is back at Fallsview Casino Resort from February 8-13, 2012.
They claim to be "giving away over $2.7 million" in prize money, which is less than the projected amount from the January 2011 FPC.
For more information, call the Poker Hotline at 1-866-5-POKER-5.

Please post when the satellite details are available. Hopefully, the single table satellites will be improved this year and won't all be winner-take-all. Otherwise, it will be time for more forum-organized rake-free satellites.

Feel free to post other suggestions and improvements from previous FPC.

Regurgitating last years brochure it appears. Shows last year's dates, not 2012's. I guess they would keep the same structure, but who knows for sure.

Wish we had an inside guy who can update us on these kinds of things in NF.

They could put in the proper dates.

actyper

Yeah will play depending on the day. I think the 2.5k is the only one i'll play this year.

Any Saturday in December works for me except the 3rd

The Highflyer

Yeah I would be interested.

I called Fallsview today to ask about satellites and purchasing vouchers for the events. I was told there is nothing set as of yet and to keep checking their webpage.

When I told them that their web page states that the Fallsview Poker Classic is suppose to be Feb 8-13 and Satellites were suppose to start today, he was surprised that the web page says that.

Good old Fallsview, no communication to their staff
