Poker Hall of Famer and partypoker ambassador Mike Sexton said, “partypoker is bringing the Grand Prix (GPPT) to Canada! I’ve played in a number of GPPT events in the UK and it’s fantastic to see one come to the Playground Poker Club in Montreal. This CAD $109 tournament offers value like no other with a $500,000 CAD guaranteed prize pool! The value is simply incredible. I hope to see you there.”
Golden Chips are also available for players to win an extra CAD $50,000, with a total of 500 golden chips up for grabs via golden chip satellites. These are held every day and only cost $0.01 to enter. Get full details on how golden chips work here.
