World Poker Tour Montreal – Why Not Make a Date?

The US online poker player has actually found refuge to play their favorite way from a handful of places close to home. One such a hot spot is Canada, and while we did not see a massive migration, a number of US online pros now either fly into Canada to play, or have made it their home from home. Another popular choice is Costa Rica.

Daniel Negreanu is a recent example, although he also plays live tournament poker, he still enjoys playing online, and recently landed in Toronto to spend three weeks playing the WCOOP – World Championships of Online Poker. He is actually a Canadian poker pro, so, he must feel right at home, but for other players it can be difficult to re-adjust.

Nevertheless, Canada is now considered to be a refuge for American online poker players after the fiasco of Black Friday. This also makes it the perfect stop for a World Poker Tour (WPT) event. This is a live event, and organisers have found Montreal to be the destination of choice. November will also be the month that marks the return of the World Poker Tour to Canada, it has been absent from this circuit for a few years, and the WPT Montreal returns to take place at the Playground Poker Club.

The main event of this particular tour is a $3000+$ 00 buy-in, and there are thirteen more events to keep players occupied, as well as give more than just a few choice players a chance to win. Plans a-foot reveal a No Limit Hold Em (NHLE) Deepstack, NLHE Deepstack Turbo, NLHE Deepstack Bounty, NLHE Ante-up, NLHE-Win the button, NLHE 6 Max, PLO 8 or Better, PLO 3 lives, and there are a total of ten WPT bracelets up for grabs. A field of as many as one thousand players is expected for the Main Event, so, this is no Mickey Mouse tour.

You can find qualifiers for this event at Party Poker, Titan Poker and Pokerstars.
