This Texan is headed to Niagara Falls to play in the North American Players Championship. The event will be held at the Fallsview Casino starting October 10-16. My wife and I will be taking our first real vacation in 10 years, not counting Thanksgiving in Arkansas every year. Having this opportunity is amazing, making the last three years of poker blood sweat and tears seem worth it. We will have two days to take in all the Falls have to offer, then its off to the poker room for me.
The tourney has a great structure, 20k in starting chips and 90 minute blinds. I should be able to play my best poker, unrushed by impatient internet kids and life tilt inducing internet disconnects. Last year's field was just over 505 entrants and offered over $1.4 million to first place. After qualifying through a $7 rebuy super satellite and a $200 qualifier, the chance to bring home any money is mind blowing. Worst case is that I take a free vacation to Niagara Falls with my wife for 7 days and play in a $10,000 buy in World Poker Tour event. Hmmm not too shabby.
