Event Description
The third annual North American Poker Championships are under way from the Fallsview Casino and Resort in Niagara Falls, Canada on the World Poker Tour.

This seven-day event features three Day 1's and will play out its final hands on Thursday, with the winner taking Scott Clements' crown as North American Poker Champion when it's all said and done. Keep it locked on PokerListings.com for full coverage!
