How to Get There

The Niagara Falls International Airport is only 15 minutes taking the scenic route to the hotel. And even better than getting there is that once players find the poker room, they're only a little over five minutes from the Observation Tower for the famous Niagara Falls.

Players can tour it while being a tourist in New York and building their bankrolls. What could be better?

What to Do at the Poker Room

In addition to their game variety, players can test their skills out on the poker room's 23 tables with free drinks, free parking and player rewards that'll make their heads spin.

Limit games are half rake on Tuesdays and Thursdays and there are always daily tournaments running in the poker room. And that's not all: Players can gain access to the 13 big screens in the room to watch their favorite sports games in the meantime or take a quick break from the tables.

Who to Watch For

Buck Ramsay

Buck Ramsay may be the player to watch coming into the Western New York Poker Challenge Main Event April 7, should he come back to take his second title at the tournament.

While noticeably absent from last year��s edition of the tournament �C Rick Block would come in to fill his place and grab the $52,768 first-place prize �C Ramsay showed up to the 2017 Western New York Poker Challenge Warm-Up Feature Event, winning the event for $18,302.

He came to an agreement with [Removed:339], who took $19,000 and second place.

Ramsay��s other Seneca Poker titles snagged him $60,000 after topping 275 entries in 2015 and $41,744 after besting 339 entries in 2014.
