If you’ve been waiting for gambling events relatively local to your city, look no further. We’ve gathered a small collection of major online and off-line casino tourneys especially for Canadian gamblers looking to score big.

Busy gamblers often miss tournaments with high payouts because they are frequently attending smaller venues with minuscule jackpots. Sometimes, newcomers to the poker scene are unfamiliar with where, why, or how to get into tournament action. Rather than waste your time piddling around with smaller payouts, consider attending these upcoming events where the casinos aren’t afraid to show you the money.

Stampede Classic at Deerfoot Inn

Deerfoot Inn Casino Poker Tournaments

Calgary natives persnickety about picking local tournaments to engage in probably never visited Deerfoot Inn during August. If you’re that unfortunate sap who skipped town hoping to find better jackpots, you’re missing out. Beginning August 6^th-20^th, the Summer Super Stack Series commences with all buy-ins and jackpots to be determined soon (hint: it’s big). The casino offers daily games with $50-125 buy-ins, Monday Night Football tournaments and professional players with showmanship like you’ve never imagined. Casino manager Robert Bowers can provide more information about booking reservations, accommodations and exact jackpot amounts to interested parties.

Harvest Poker Classic, Casino Regina

Saskatchewan, admittedly, is pretty boring. As a matter of fact, pretty much nothing in Saskatchewan is fun. That was before we found the Harvest Poker Classic which is located in the quaint capital city of Regina. Currently, tournaments take place on Tuesday and Wednesday although their schedule’s subject to change without notice. After viewing their past tournaments, most jackpots average C$150,000. Average buy-in for regular weekly tournaments is between C$50 and C$100. The casino averages roughly 2,000,000 visitors annually, and the locals seem to love the Texas Hold ‘em tournaments. The actual harvest poker classic takes place between November 4 and November 8 annually, so there’s plenty of time to practice.

Canadian Poker Tour

Perhaps the most widely televised poker tournament we found has partnered with the famous Edgewater Casino in Vancouver, British Columbia. Because the poker tournament actually keeps a point tally running all summer long, jackpots are considerably higher. Current point leader Matthew Lapossie has raked C$633,000 as of July 1, although several players are catching up quickly. The tour is currently in Calgary, Alberta, although players who wish to join the tour can simply go to the Canadian Poker Tour website to find out its current location. This tournament is definitely not for the weak, so I’d definitely vote for against joining unless you have what it takes to run with the big dogs.

PokerStars.com Live Tourneys

The most obvious long-running event which captivates the minds of Canadian poker players is the Poker Stars tournament which is not only on television, but is also a long-running online live game. Many current World Poker Tour players have cut their professional teeth by playing in this tournament, with jackpots as large as C$2 million frequently given away. Rookies can test their luck with as little as C$20, while seasoned professionals have brought in as much as C$3300. Check with the Pokerstars.com event calendar for more intricate details, which may be running a month or two behind. At the very least you’ll have an idea of what events happen throughout the month of May and annually around certain cities in Canada. For the poker stars live television schedule, switch the .com with .tv.

There are obviously many, many more tournaments that happened both online and at physical casino locations, although these are perhaps the better ones to attend at those times of the year. If you’ve never played tournament caliber poker or blackjack, you should definitely start small before jumping into tournament play. Good luck, and win big.

Thomas Taylor has won the Summer Super Stack Main Event for the second year in a row!

Deerfoot Inn And Casino Poker Tournaments

The Super Stack tournament series are organized and hosted by Deerfoot Inn & Casino in Calgary, with a Winter, Spring, and Summer variant each year. The Summer Super Stack just wrapped up with Thomas Taylor emerging as the victor for the second year in a row.

With 197 entries, the prize pool came to $262,010 in the $1,500 Main Event, a significant decrease from last year’s 262 entries (down 25%) for a $348,460 prize pool.

For the win, Taylor picked up first-place money of $60,000, adding to the $79,000 he won in the same tournament last year. If you’re not already impressed, he also finished runner-up in the Spring Super Stack Main Event this year for another $21,250.

A number of the PokerNews Canada team named Thomas Taylor as a player to watch going into this summer’s World Series of Poker, predicting a big breakout year. While he had a reasonably good summer, it wasn’t quite the spotlight-stealer we’d thought it might be. But this recent success assures us that he’s still one to keep your eyes on.

The final table also included runner-up Toby Wu ($41,000), Kyle Hartree (third — $30,000), Sean Giesbrecht (fourth — $22,000), Ryan Comely (fifth — $17,000), James Keichinger (sixth — $13,000), Jimmy Gill (seventh — $10,000), Kirk Nilson (eighth — $7,900), and Curtis Vigoren (ninth — $6,600).

The Summer Super Stack was a 12-event, 13-day tournament series that included unique formats like turbos, bounties, pot-limit Omaha, a team event, a seniors event, a ladies event, and a tournament that changed levels based on eliminations, keeping the average stack at around 25 big blinds throughout the entire tournament.

This was the first major series under the new poker room manager, Ron Campbell, who we spoke with before the series began. Notably, he had removed the prize pool guarantees and drastically reduced the player-of-the-series prizing for this series.
