World Poker Tour has been a main component in the poker tournament industry and a frontrunner of the televised poker era. The prestigious brand has been a driving wheel in the poker boom. Over the years, WPT did not stop to surprise the poker fans, offering people from all walks of life to demonstrate poker skills and boost their bankrolls. What is even more enticing is the fact that WPT offers a bountiful selection of games and affordable buy-in fees.
For yet another year, World Poker Tour is heading to one of the largest gambling venues in Canada, and more precisely Fallsview Casino Resort for a C$5,000 Main Event. The gaming resort facility is often touted as the crown jewel in Ontario. Last year, casino officials unveiled a C$7 million revamp project, enhancing the glamorous atmosphere of the gambling property. The gambling venue offers more than 3,000 slot machines and 100 table games, which makes it the perfect place for hosting such a prestigious festival.
