2008 Tournaments in Canada
Has anybody found any resource that lists all the upcoming tournaments in Canada? (Hint: This so-called "Canada's Poker Forum" should have such resource pages for Canadians. ^-^ )
Since the $10K Niagara event and satellites MAY be gone and Casino Brantford went on strike from 15 Skill Level 6 tournaments last year to zero this year,
below is a list of the remaining tournaments in Ontario casinos for 2008 that I have found and considering playing in.
- Caesars Windsor, bimonthly WSOP satellites from July 26 to December 27, $500+$50; 5,000 starting chips, need 50 players for each $10K WSOP seat or cash prizes; WSOP mega satellites with a Skill Level of 5! "cheers: Who's in for a forum trip?
- Casino Rama, monthly crapshoots including July 28, $430+$70; only 3000 chips. :rolleyes:
- Great Blue Heron Casino, August 13, $500+$50; 5000 chips, up to 110 players and $55,000 prize pool.
- GBH, September 10 and November 12, $240 + $100 rebuys + $200 add-on; only 2,000 chips, up to 110 players and ~$55,000 pool; Skill Level of only 2.
- OLG Casino Point Edward (no info online) Blue Water Classic Event VII, September 23, $150+$15; 4000 chips, up to 100 players and $15,000 pool.
- Point Edward, September 24, $300+$30; 6000 chips, up to 100 players and $30,000 pool
- Point Edward, September 25-28, $750+$50 for each of 3 qualifying days totaling up to $2,400; 8000 chips, up to 300 players and $225,000 pool; Skill Level 6.
- GBH, October 8, $1,000+$100; 10,000 chips, up to 110 players and $110,000 pool; ; Skill Level 6.
- GBH, December 9-11, $2,000+$100; 10,000 chips, up to 220 players and $440,000 pool; ; Skill Level 6.
I'm thinking of my next poker vacation as staying in Ontario on September 20-28: driving to Caesars Windsor for the WSOP satellite on September 20, then going to Point Edward Casino by September 23. Anybody else interested?

I first checked the Rama $430+70, but the rake is huge over 15% and the structure is just plain awful. The GBH 200+100+200 looks a lot more better, but without a car, getting to GBH is a problem. What are the odds that Branford hosts more tourneys later on?
I might as well drive to Fallsview Casino instead, where I have been told that the $460 and $1,240 satellites will now be 24/7. The last $460 satellite will be on Wednesday night, then there will be non-stop $1,240 satellites until Sunday morning. In my last three $460 satellites, I have won two $1,240 vouchers and a $460 voucher, so I still have six $1,240 vouchers.
I would like to have a lot of things on this site, but haven't been able to find a good enough template yet to do everything I want to do.

Posted this one in the Alberta section.
Umm You can phone them and pay for your seat
I have played 2 GBH Events and each time I phoned in and purchased my seat with a credit card
I played the 1k and phoned in for my seat
Noticed this weekend P* was running sattelites packages to this tourney if anyone wasn't aware. This will likely increase the size of tourney....which is usually quite large anyhow.
They had a bunch this past weekend - I haven't noticed any new ones that has been generated yet though.
I didn't see them myself....were they the steps tourneys?
Daily sats. 2r, 22r, 13r etc...
$4500 packages.
Anybody know the turnout last sunday? I'll 95% be playing this one.
They'll probably only have this running for a couple of more weekends.
And its not steps, only MTT sats into the $450 sat.
WTF....played the $2 Sat to the $475 tonight...90 players finished 3rd for a whopping payday of $2.00.....1st and 2nd got seats......that's a harsh bubble.
I think I saw like 76 players with 7 seats given.
The final day of this consists of the top 20 players each starting with 20,000 in chips instead of what they finished their respective day 1's with.
What are your thoughts on this?
Don't mind those type of tourneys......it's like a satellite into another event essentially.
The next tournament I want to play in is the CPT finals at the World Poker Showdown, which includes +EV super satellites with 40-minute blinds.
hey, I have a shot at this since I will be playing in the Stampede Nov 29th tournament where the winner gets a seat into this tournament. Long way to go still
