Montreal will soon welcome a new high-profile poker tour to the area as WPT DeepStacks has announced the second half of their Season V schedule, which will get started with the $1,650 WPT DeepStacks Montreal. This is the first event to officially be announced for the 2018 World Cup of Cards! The WCC has picked up traction over the past two years as a series featuring high value tournaments at accessible buy-ins, and the WPT DeepStacks will fit in perfectly.
“We are thrilled to increase the WPTDeepStacks schedule for Season V [including] the tour’s first-ever trips to Montreal and Texas,” said WPTDeepStacks Executive Director Chris Torina. “Together with our incredible casino partners, we look forward to providing the premier mid-major offering that poker players want and deserve.”
The new stop at Playground Poker Club will increase the tour’s profile in Canada, which already hosts an annual event in Edmonton plus the Tour Championship in Calgary. WPT DeepStacks was honoured at the 4th Annual American Poker Awards with the prize for Mid-Major Circuit of the Year – and we couldn’t be happier for our new partner.
More World Cup of Cards announcements should be expected in the near future, stay tuned!
