GGPoker players across Canada can win their way into the highlight tournament, the $2,200 buy-in WSOP-C Calgary Main Event, for a fraction of the direct entry cost.

Sarne Lightman, Managing Director of GGPoker, shared his excitement: “The WSOP is coming to Calgary! We are delighted to give our players an exclusive, low-cost path into this fantastic event at the Deerfoot Inn & Casino. The Canadian poker community is one of the most passionate in the world, and we can’t wait to see our GGPoker qualifiers compete for poker glory right in the heart of Alberta. Good luck to all!”

A number of GGTeam ambassadors are expected to attend, including Canada’s own Kevin Martin.

As seen at previous WSOP Circuit stops, the WSOP+ application will play a central role in the WSOP-C Calgary experience, making event registration, player tracking, and content sharing easier than ever.

The Deerfoot Inn & Casino is renowned for providing a superior gaming and hospitality experience, making it a perfect host for the high-profile WSOP Circuit. Calgary, a dynamic city renowned for its welcoming spirit and stunning proximity to the Rocky Mountains, offers an ideal destination for poker players from across North America.
