DeepStacks Poker Tour Coming to Grey Eagle Casino Calgary

jontm

The DeepStacks Poker Tour has inked a deal with Grey Eagle Casino for September 20th to 28th 2014!

$1,100 Main with 100k gtd has been confirmed so far, with the Mouth, Grinder and Wade set to attend.

With OPT already having a strong relationship with DSPT, the announcement of a Canadian stop, at a reasonable buy in without a withholding tax is sure to be welcomed by some PFCers!

Plus, those that have visited Grey Eagle Casino will probably like it more with the new hotel scheduled to open later this year.

This sounds fun. I'll probably try to make it down for this. Do you know when they're expecting to come out with a full schedule including prelims?

Not gonna lie, think that's still a little ways out but will ask for a rough timeline. I know they will give tons and tons of notice.

Stating right now that a Forumer wins the Main Event.

The floor manager (Joe) had no idea what I was talking about when I mentioned this to him tonight.

PR just went out, contract was signed night before. He likely wasn't told yet as there are many fine details left to work out. I wouldn't judge him yet ;p

Nah...I like him. He and the guy from Caesar's Windsor do a really good job.

Anybody playing in Grey Eagle Casino for the $6,000 WPT Fallsview packages?

nope, I'm working...have no interest in heading to Niagara Falls anyhow. It will be interesting to see the turnout given how far away the event is from Calgary.

I think they will be able to fill a few packages. Being the last day of a series there are always guys willing to gamble it up for anything. Regina kamakazie single hand sats turn into an excuse to side bet, guys will play this if no other reason that to just play. 6k leaves enough for $600 return flight and a few nights, don't matter that is far away IMO

+1. If there was ever a satellite available here around Fallsview for WSOP-C River Rock, an army of us would take a shot at going all the way to BC.

I believe there were three WPT Fallsview packages awarded in Grey Eagle Casino yesterday. That's more than what both the PartyPoker online and Fallsview Casino awarded in $5,000 ME entries this weekend! :o

jontm, is that THE Kelly we know, or somebody with a totally different surname?

jontm

Someone messed the spelling up but that's the guy. I'm also a little suspicious there might be something off on the "Peter J Griffin" main event result lol

Announcement today that GPI and Deepstacks have affiliated, meaning we will be able to use the Fantasy Poker Manager to pick Hartwick, Kerr and other medium limit PFCers to add a little fun to the sweat for these events: DSPT & GPI Enter Into Partnership for 2014 Season | The Official Global Poker Index - GPI Rankings
