Fallsview Casino Niagara has just announced the schedule for the upcoming Poker Classic, a Canadian Poker Tour event.

There will be three main tournaments running from January 8th - 14th and over 2.3 Million dollars worth of prize money given away. The tournament information looks like this:

Each tournament has been given a guaranteed grand prize of $80 000, $200 000 and $400 000 respectively.

The Casino has said they will be hosting step-structure satellites for the events. In previous years the old Casino Niagara has typically run step 1 satellites as well, however you may want to check in advance before pursuing that alternative.

This should be a very entertaining event, and an even better excuse to visit Niagara.
