Some info for y'all: There are 3 day 1s, 26th-28th. They're expecting around 200 a day so they added the 3rd day one so they wouldn't have to cap it at 600. I'd guess 550ish is more realistic but what do I know. However they will qualify 250-300 players from their own live satellites. That means juicy field again just like last year. They removed the 25/25 level from last year and added 100/200 no ante which makes sense.

R we allowed to pick our day 1 or is it random? I'm trying to figure out what dates to book this (fewest days possible obv).

How many starting chips?

Also, are there any side events after the main event begins?

Re: * * * Official WPT Niagara Thread * * *
 

20K starting chips 90 min levels. Not sure about starting day I'll see if I can find out. There aren't any side events, and the cash games will likely have pretty big lines. However there is no shortage of bars and stripclubs, or degenerate poker players.

Don't be in a casino hotel room where people are smoking weed with no windows. (Yeah, I was in the room where people got kicked out of Turning Stone).

Guys, does anyone know if you can choose which day you start?

This would be crucial for me because leaving the 25th is really sketchy w/ school.

I expect to be going but I also want to know the starting day deal.

Re: * * * Official WPT Niagara Thread * * *
 

Hi Adam,

Thank you for your interest in Poker at Fallsview. Direct buy in for
the Main Event is $10,000 + $300 (Canadian dollars only) and can be
purchased at any point between now and the start of the tournament,
there is no maximum number of entrants. The exchange rate here today is
100USD=96CDN, there is a four percent differential to exchange back
(even par). I'm not sure what your Debit MasterCard is like, but you
can buy in with a MasterCard credit card. There is a 2% surcharge on
all credit card purchases for the WPT, so the amount would actually be
$10,506 CDN. Age of entry is nineteen, and all winnings are tax-free in
Canada. Feel free to contact me anytime. We look forward to having you
here, have a safe trip.
