Trio of Poker Pros to Play WPT Tables in Native Canada

WPT Enterprises and Fallsview Casino Resort have announced that the anticipated field of 300 local and US players at the inaugural WPT Canadian Open will also include three of Canada's premier poker pros � Daniel Negreanu, Gavin Smith, and Isabelle Mercier.

The trio have all confirmed that they will return to their native country to celebrate the first ever Canadian stop on the WPT circuit and compete for the inaugural Canadian Open title.

'It is certainly fitting that these three, who have risen to prominence on the WPT, are coming home to pay tribute to the millions of Canadian poker fans who have watched them become worldwide celebrities on their TV sets,' said Steve Lipscomb, CEO and founder of WPT Enterprises. 'Daniel, Gavin and Isabelle's participation in this ground breaking WPT event represents the importance of establishing a tournament that Canadians can call their own.'

The WPT Canadian Open takes place from October 22 to 24 with the final table, which will be recorded for TV broadcast, on October 30.
