The World Poker Tour has headed North to the beautiful Niagara Fallsview Casino and Resort for the 2006 North American Poker Championship. The first event began today, and according to CardPlayer.com Kathy Liebert, Joe Tehan, Michael Gracz, and Joe Sebok have all been eliminated. Good news for Liz Lieu fans though, she has doubled up early and currently sits amongst the top ten with the likes of John Juanda, Eli Elezra, and Carlos Mortensen.I'm a little surprised at the number of big names that have crossed the border for this event.

1. Actually this is the second event. The first event was the Canadian Open ($2700 buy-in or so) which started last Sunday. The final table has been determined, however the it is being played after the North American Championship.
