Fallsview Poker Classic Satellites

admin — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 13:58:05 +0000

Well turns out satellites for the Fallsview Poker Classic 2010 are already running. As of right now the FPC is neither a CPT (Canadian Poker Tour) or a NAPT (North American Poker Tour) event. Here is the satellite schedule running now at Niagara Fallsview Casino. All steps are daily except step 3 which is on the weekend only.

Step A:
- $120 (100+20), 16.7% rake.
- Only one winner, seat to $1,000 event.
- Only 1500 chips & only 10-minute blinds

Step 1:
- $90 (70+20), 22.2% rake!
- Final two players win seat to Step 2.
- 1500 chips & 10-minute blinds.
- Even a satellite king who can win 1 out of every 4 Step 1s would lose money because the rake is so high. Unfortunately, it will be the most in demand as gamboolers don’t care about it being the worst satellite.

Step 2:
- $350 (315+35), 10% rake.
- Final three players each win seat to $1,050 Step 3 satellite.
- Only 5-minute longer blinds (15) and only same 1500 chips.

Step 3:
- $1,050 (1000+50), 4.8% rake.
- 1st place wins $5,500 seat, 2nd & 3rd place win $2,500 seat.
- 2000 chips & 15-minute blinds.
- Saturday & Sunday only; all other satellites are daily.

Finally a new tournament series in Ontario. Only 3 events but this will do for now. No info about b&m satellites or online satellites yet.

With the rumoured Fallsview classic going on without any mention of the North American Poker Tour (NAPT), it is safe to assume that the NAPT is dead for 2009. Hopefully something will be worked out in 2010. BTW the NAPT is still mentioned on the Poker Stars website, check the “employment opportunities” section.
