World Poker Tour Season 6: The North American Poker Championship
Held at the very stunning Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort in Ontario, Canada, the North American Poker Championship brought in its unique brand of poker competition by featuring some of the best poker players today in highly competitive poker action. With over 500 players participating in this glorious event, the action was expected to be intense right from the very start. With such rich talent at hand, this World Poker Tour event transpired as one of the most exciting events ever to be recorded in the history of poker.
From October 26 to November 2, 2007, the participants engaged in very long hours of serious poker competition. Despite the huge number of entrants who have signed up for the event, only six were able to reach the final table of this highly regarded poker tournament. To maximize the range of talent worldwide, players as young as 19 years can already take part in this illustrious poker event.
Comprised of six of the finest and up-and-coming superstars of poker, the final table of the North American Poker Championship transpired on November 2 to close out the event. After this match, a new champion is expected to be crowned and awarded with a huge amount of money. Throughout the six colorful seasons of the World Poker Tour, this poker tournament has played a very huge part in the general success of the tour.
With six excellent poker players contending with each other, the road to grabbing the North American Poker Championship is not an easy one. In fact, the game has become very unpredictable since the elimination rounds, leading to another suspense and cardiac finish. Jonathan Little, Jeff Garza, and David Cloutier were among those who emerged on top of the poker tournament after days of grueling competition. Completing the cast are equally talented players like Kofi Farkye, Scott Clemens, and Barry Greenstein.
As the final match ensued in conclusion of the North American Poker Championship in 2007, all the remaining participants displayed everything they have to survive especially in the early rounds. Despite his resiliency and unique style of play, Garza found his way out of the tournament first over the other finalists. After a little more while, Farkye got himself out of the match after committing some crucial and costly mistakes.
With four poker players left competing in the final round of the North American Poker Championship, the outcome is yet to be predicted. While the players displayed their very own techniques and strategies, it became much harder to determine the possible outcome of the event. A few moments later, Greenstein got himself ousted after having an inferior card combination on hand. Cloutier closely followed after committing a costly blunder of his own. With Little and Clements facing off for the title, it soon became clear that a new champion would be declared after Clements edged out Little for the match and the $1,387,224-pot.
