From the inaugural WPT Montreal in 2012 up until the present day, the relationship between Playground Poker Club and partypoker has produced some of the greatest poker events in Canadian history. Playground Poker Club is thrilled to announce that we have formed a new long-term strategic partnership with partypoker – a partnership that will provide Playground visibility on the partypoker client, and enable players to qualify online for a number of our live events.
This new partnership is already in effect, as players can now find a Playground tab within the Live Events tournament lobby on partypoker. Wanting to kick things off with a bang, partypoker and Playground Poker Club bring the Grand Prix Poker Tour to Canada for the first time ever! The Canadian Grand Prix is a $500,000 guaranteed tournament that will feature 8 live Day 1 flights on September 2nd and 3rd – but in a unique crossover format, it will also feature 20 online Day 1 flights starting on August 7th! At just $100 + $9 to enter any Day 1, this may be the best value in global poker today!
Players in either Day 1 – live or online – will have the same goal: to qualify for Day 2 on September 4th at Playground Poker Club. On Day 2, everyone who has qualified will come together on the live felts to play down to the eventual winner and what is certain to be a huge payday!
The Canadian Grand Prix tournament is part of the inaugural World Cup of Cards (WCC), running from August 18th through to September 14th.
