| 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!  |

The CPT is expected to put out a press release in the next few days. One thing I believe is included is WestJet deals for CPT members. I will message Kelly and ask about room deals. Thanks for all the questions guys!

Here is the reply regarding room rates and deals:
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,
Jon

WPS will have some heavy competition with those dates tho, Jan with Aussie Millions and PCA, while the Cruise with Monte Carlo

I am in Calgary, will be in Vegas after at the same time as the events, most likely it will be the $550 or $340 NL I take a stab at, I am getting closer at these buyin levels. I am gonna post an intro right now and I see some members have their blogs attached. I use alot of links in mine to good articles I find in my travels, what are the forums policies on that? Going to post in the intro, glad to finally find a Canadian Forum!
