North American Poker Championships
I know it's a long ways away, just over a month away, but just curious to see how many people are thinking or hoping to fork over the buy-in for the WPT NA Championships down in Niagara. I just heard about it from PokerRoom's newsletter a couple of days ago.
I'm hoping to join in...obviously don't have the $10,000 to get in, but hoping to turn the near-impossible trick of buying into satellites to make it. I know it's a rare-possibility, but I know that the site is offering lower tourneys and then work way-up. It may not happen this time, but looking towards making it to one of these one days...even if it means coughing up the dough in full.
Be cool if people can turn that impossible trick to get into the tourney that way but also just wanted to gauge how many people on the site were looking towards it.

Last year's winner, Soren Turkewitsch, played ONE $90 Step 1 satellite, and WON his way into the $640 Step 2 satellite, and WON his way into the $10,300 2006 NAPC...and WON over $1.3 MILLION!!
Also, anyone interested in playing this year's North American Poker Championship should be making arrangments right now. The hotel is booked but there are deals at various other hotels around town.
Are there preliminary events like at all other WPT events in the states or just the 10k event? More importantly to me -- will there be cash games going during the tournament, if so how many tables are being dedicated to cash games?
Thanks
The $10,300 North American Poker Championship will be the only event Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort will be hosting this October.
The poker room will be open as usual for cash games. 16 tables total (as soon as the last satellite is finished). Expect a wide range of No Limit games running, $5-$5 NL and up. Likely to be some high limit structured games as well as Omaha.
