Canada has for years produced a steady stream of PokerStars customers, and with the increasing number of Americans moving North, PokerStars has a well-timed launch for the PokerStars Canada Cup I. The event is all-new, and will be sure to attract thousands of Canadians with a live final table to be played out in the Bahamas at the 2012 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure. If you make the final table, all flight and hotel expenses will be covered by PokerStars, including spending money.
The final nine of the Cup will play for a slice of $250k, and the inaugural title of Canada Cup Champion. The starting stacks for the final table will be exactly as when the tournament paused with the bubble boy’s exit. Grinders looking to elevate their status will be pleased to hear that the final table will also be televised. The winner will also win an entry into the Caribbean Adventure High Rollers Event, valued at $25k.
Starting September 26, Canadian PokerStars players can qualify through a whole range of satellites. PokerStars will be offering buy-ins as low as $0.50. The PokerStars.net Canada Cup Final begins at 17:30 ET on October 23. You can expect all the best Canadian players, relocated American players, and Team PokerStars pros to be participating. After the final nine is reached, the tournament will pause until January 9, 2012, when it resumes live in the Bahamas!
Maybe you’re already in Canada, or maybe you’ve been thinking about making the move. Either way this is a tournament you don’t want to miss, so get your maple leaves in line, and get ready to play PokerStars’ very first Canada Cup.
