Well,
I went to Niagra Falls this weekend and got to play a little pool but was more focused on watching the World Poker Tour's North American Championships being held at Fallsview Casino in Niagra Falls. Because the Grand hall room where the tables were set up was not big enough I got to see how they break down day 1 into 3 day's. Day 1a, 1b and 1c to first eliminate a good portion of the field then they start on day 2.
Very interesting weekend. The WPT now has this event as a permanent stop here in Canada which is a big deal as far as poker goes. Many big names showed up and I got to meet and take pictures with all of them.
Daniel Negraneu, Vanessa Rousso, Eric Lundgren, Jhonathon Juanda, Gus Hanson and Barry Greenstein among many others were there.
I guess the reason why I brought this up in this forum section is because I would like to see something like this happen here in Canada with reguards to pool. I truly believe we need something big up here to attract all the big names in pool!!!
Then again, mabey I would just like this to happen so I don't have to drive so dam far to see some good/big names in the world of pool play some darn pool. :wink:
Anyway, just a short thought.
Cheers.
