The World Poker Tour has been to the Caribbean and to France, but in October it will travel to a place it has never been before: Canada.

The third North American Poker Championship will take place not at the Bellagio this year, but at the Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort October 25-29.

"By staging the North American Poker Championship in this beautiful Canadian casino, we put out the welcome mat for all poker enthusiasts in Canada and truly lay down the gauntlet to see who can reign supreme on the continent," said Steve Lipscomb, CEO and founder of WPT Enterprises, Inc.

Several WPT stars are Canadians, including Daniel Negreanu, Gavin Smith, Bill Edler, and Evelyn Ng. The stop in Canada will mean the WPT will leave the country three times in season five, which begins at the Mirage May 14. The tour also stops in the Bahamas and Paris.
