As per the Calgary thread, announcement today that GPI and Deepstacks have affiliated, meaning we will be able to use the Fantasy Poker Manager to pick Corey 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

There will also be a dedicated Deep Stacks Poker Tour Player Of the Year race to add to the already existing All Time Money List.

To add to DeepStacks/GPI partnership, just announced that the winner of the 2014 DeepStacks Poker Tour/Global Poker Index Player Of The Year points race (1k plus DSPT buy-ins eligible) will receive sponsorship, travel, accommodations, trophy, custom poker table and swag for select events...the 2 Alberta stops great place to rack up a shot!

Do you know if there are going to be any online or Ontario satellites (aside from OPT) to any Western Canada events, just like some Westerners got to satellite into the WPT Fallsview/Montreal?

jontm

Unfortunately, no. AGLC regulations prohibit it for Alberta B&M events and they are licensed by AGLC as a service provider/supplier.

Bumping as a week till series kicks off. 200k gtd on Main, Calgary got 283 for 1k, 249 for $500 and 200+ on weekday $200. I expect YEG to be even stronger with a week of super sats (77 last night) and bigger side events.

Structures other than ME look much worse than what I am used to seeing at major events in AB

they look ok and I don't play many MTTs...but I think the prior series' in Calgary at GE and DF had more starting chips??

I could be wrong

Starting stacks are less, but that just means you have 300bb to start instead of 600bb. The structure itself is better, which will mean you will have more play later in the tourney....which would be more important.
