Today is Day 1a of the $3000 + $300 PokerStars Canada Cup Main Event! Poker players from across Canada – and indeed, from throughout North America – have descended on Montreal to come and play in this new event on the global poker calendar.
PokerStars is well known for hosting great poker tournaments both online and live, and their commitment to the Canada Cup is a clear demonstration that they take their leadership role in poker very seriously. Likewise, Playground has consistently pushed the envelope in terms of setting the highest standards for poker events.
PokerStars and Playground Poker Club working together is a recipe for a great event – and the first Canada Cup is sure to set a new standard for poker events in Canada.
Today’s Day 1a is the first of three Day 1s in this 5-day event, with Day 1b being held tomorrow (Friday May 23rd) and Day 1c on Saturday May 24th. The event is a next-day re-entry, meaning that there are NO re-entries permitted on a Day 1 a player has already played, but they may re-enter and try to qualify to Day 2 on a subsequent Day 1.
Players are arriving in Playground Poker Club’s Tournament Hall now and in just a few minutes the Tournament Director will declare “Shuffle up and deal” and the event will be on its way. Good luck to all of the players!
