NO BCPC or WSOPC in Vancouver this year.

River Rock Casino Resort Pulls the Plug on BC Poker Championships | PokerNews

Haven't played any poker in a few months and not a fan of tournaments.. but was actually thinking about playing a couple events of the WSOPC this year.. oh well.. guess not to many options out here right now.

    sounds like one of the other casino's can / will pick it up....didn't Cascade run something usually just before the BCPC in the past?

    While the WSOP and River Rock have told Canadian tournament players to f*** off, :p the newly-renovated Hard Rock Casino Vancouver will have a series in 2015. Hopefully, it will have online satellites available so players from Ontario, etc. can support it.

    Tell me more.

    Hard Rock has had a few mini series as did Edge.. but Hard Rock does not have the room to host a WSOPC series that is for sure.

    I believe Hard Rock has access to their theatre if they were to hold a major series, so they have space. Their downfall is the lack of an attached hotel, but a free shuttle to a partnered hotel would solve that. Cascades has no interest in promoting poker whatsoever. Will we see WPT in Vancouver soon to fill this void?

    Any chance Fraser Downs and Edgewater will have their usual yearly series? Obviously not WSOPC or BCPC but a viable option. Will PlayNow/Escape do their own online series?

    WSOP at the Hard Rock would be awesome. Much closer to me than the River Rock. I'm not sure that they would have the space for a large tournament though.

    I don't think you'll see WSOPC returning, the vibe I'm getting in industry. Too expensive. BCPC was a great event hopefully they find an alternative. Now with that said, Calgary now has TWO casinos with attached hotels and theaters, so maybe players in the West will see a return to it's glory days

    When I spoke with Seth Palansky, he suggested they were working on still trying to add a Canadian WSOP Circuit event to this season, or at least to the next season. I think the Circuit will be back. Not in place of BCPC and not at River Rock, but I think they will return somewhere in the country.

    Pretty sure the "big event" Hard Rock is talking about for early 2015 is a DeepStacks.

    This industry moves so fast. Just when I'd be ready to bet the farm, always a curveball...I like your info though

    That'd be pretty great, but I wouldn't hold high hopes that WPT can get past BCLC to make it happen. Likely just DeepStacks without the WPT.
