|  WPT Returning to Canada!
I just found out that the WPT will have a Canadian event this year!!! It is planned for November and I will post again when it is finalized.
There will be at least $1 million in WPT packages that will be given out this year. Aside from the new WPT Canada, which other WPT event would you like to wiin a package the most?
The WPT events in the US would be my last choice, as they are the most -EV especially with the 30% withholding. I have won multiple qualifiers towards the WPT LA Poker Classic $15K package (+ Celebrity Invitational), but I unregistered from the $750 final step because the extra state taxes in California makes it a total of ~38% extra rake.

1) Fallsview and WPT have kissed and made up, and what was going to be the next Fallsview Poker Classic will instead mark the return of WPT North American Poker Championship. 
2) Or River Rock Casino Resort, British Columbia. Quote:

Just had a chat with Jeffrey Haas, he said it is highly likely that Canada will have a stop on the NAPT in the near future. Look for an announcement of 2 additional US stops in about a month's time.

Yay, a NAPT in Canada, hopefully in Ontario! The Venetian got over 800 runners, so that is definitely a success!
