Do I have to go to Niagara in person? and is it too late to sign up the morning of?Thx.PS Will you be able to enter the tourney?hey, last i heard when i was there on sunday was that the CPO is completely sold out, they maxed out the entrants to 300 Link to post Share on other sites
cemo76 0 Posted October 18, 2006 Author Share Posted October 18, 2006 Yes, I have spoken with the poker room at both Niagara Casino and Fallsview Casino. The CPO ( which is the small $2500 tourney) is sold out and capped at 300 entrants. However, The Main Event North American is obviously unlimited entries and will be fielding Satelites at FALLSVIEW up until the start of the tourney. I have $1200 entry so Hopefully I will get in. Hope alot of the Big guns are out for this event. Would love to be at a table with Daniel, Mike the mouth or Isabelle! Link to post Share on other sites
13CARDS 0 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 ...The Main Event North American is obviously unlimited entries...Umm....NO!How about there will be issues if more than 660 people show up? Link to post Share on other sites
Dratj 0 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I was told the entries were unlimited over the phone. I better sign up now then. Link to post Share on other sites
Buddha61 0 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I was told the entries were unlimited over the phone. I better sign up now then.They do state unlimited entries at the casino as well. I dont know what kind of logistics they have, but it is stated as an unlimited number of entries. This is for the $10K main event Link to post Share on other sites
Dratj 0 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Well, who really knows what the real truth is. I'm not taking the risk. I'm signing up now, just waiting for them to email me the forms to sign. I didn't think the CPO would be capped so early either. Kinda stupid. I'm guessing they don't think that too many people will be signing up to pay cash for the 10K event so they aren't too worried about overflow. Link to post Share on other sites

Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort is the first location in Canada to host a WPT event and on top of that we are hosting TWO events back-to-back. There are alwys limitations to these events. The CPO was not "capped so early"...it was always capped. If you read any of the information posted on the WPT site or the NFCR site, you should have been able to determine, by the agenda and all of the other information there, that the CPO can only have one Day 1, meaning it can only have a full registration that will put a player in every seat of 30 tables. Since there is more attention and focus put on the "Main Event", the schedule was designed to allow for two Day 1's for the NAPC if needed. And I am pretty sure we are going to need it!

It would have been nice to state more clearly the 300 person cap where everyone could see it readily, no one really reads the fine print. I guess fate has it that I play the big one then. It's all good. Link to post Share on other sites

cemo76 0 Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 Hey 13mThanks for the updates. I am assuming if you win the $1200 entry you are garaunteed a seat no matter what right.Also was I told correctly that the $1200 staelite will be running up until the start of the main event?

pirana 0 Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 I managed to get two seats for the WPT CPO. It was crazy at the casino as people were selling their $330 satellite vouchers for $500 plus a 10% stake, since voucher holders got priority to play in the satellite while there was a very long waiting list of people who did not even get a chance to play. When players found out that I have an extra seat, I started getting offers from total strangers, including one for $4,000. Satellites are running at Casino Niagara Link to post Share on other sites
