World Poker Showdown and Canadian Poker Tour Combine efforts....
WPS and the CPT have combined efforts to bring the HardRock Vegas Megastack Event Series. The Series will take place from August 7th through the 24th. It is being dubbed the "Canadian Invasion". After a fantistic showing at the 2009 Canadian Poker Open by our own, our boys are taking it to their turf. Buy ins start at $340 dollars and sats will also be played. Hope some more Canucks in Vegas at the time will bring their game and represent!

Caribbean Poker Cruise in the largest cruise ship ever built, April 25 - May 2, 2010.
Rooms are available at a tourney rate of $99 at the Hard Rock by asking for the poker tournament rate. Westjet Airlines is offering a 10% discount during the event window by entering the promo code QC6121.
Hope this helps some Canadian poker plans, I want to see our boys and of course girls, rock them on their own turf!
Still trying to find out about sats.
Thanks for the interest! Once June is over I want to get all over this forum and meet everyone.
Us players in the West love our poker, I am a huge fan of poker chat.
Talk soon,

Tournament fees a tad high on some of the events, but other than that it's not a bad place to be during that time if not in Monte Carlo.
WPS will have some heavy competition with those dates tho, Jan with Aussie Millions and PCA, while the Cruise with Monte Carlo
hmmmm
Hmm...you said West.
I have the question in now as to whether there will be anything to help with holding taxs.
CPT confirmed with me today the the 888 (Pacific Poker) sat packages will start tommorow and the "landing page to advertizing them up Monday. Use the banner here at PokerForum.ca to sign up for any new accounts if you are intrested in playing for those packages!
The blind structures for live events are up at this link, they have done a great job geting all the info up as the players are requesting, and it includes structures for $120 and $290 super sats.
Canadian Championship Poker
Hope this all helps!
'The emphasis is on more chips, more play and more value. "We are giving players exactly what they have been asking for," says Kelly B. Kellner, President of the Canadian Poker Tour. "With this structure, players get tremendous value and can be assured of a well run event by our top notch tournament directors."
Part of the attraction of this event is 'The Canadian Invasion", as players from across Canada will be travelling to Las Vegas courtesy of a 10% discount on regular priced airfares from WestJet Airlines and a special $99 room rate at the Hard Rock Hotel. Plus, all events will award qualifying points for the CPT's 'Player of The Year' race.'
Most of the travelling players plan on being here closer to the main event. The 3% to the staff is not that strange, I will cough it up to party in Vegas.
Back shortly, gonna post some quick results
