First-time venue hosts 10 gold ring events beginning Wednesday. Two online events slated for later next month.
Gatineau, QC (November 11, 2013) — For the third time in its 10-year history the World Series of Poker Circuit calls the US's neighbor to the north home beginning Wednesday, November 13 and running through Monday, November 25. The event takes place just over the river from Canada's capitol city in Gatineau, QC at Casino Lac-Leamy.
The tournament schedule includes 10 gold ring events slated to take place on site at Lac-Leamy, as well as two online ring events set for December 7 and 8 on Espacejeux.com.
Lac-Leamy marks just the second Canadian property to host a Circuit series. The first, River Rock Casino Resort in Vancouver, BC, hosted two Circuits and opened the world's eyes to Canada's strong passion for tournament poker.
Events at Lac-Leamy kick off Wednesday at 12 p.m. with a $365 No-Limit Hold'em Re-Entry tournament. Other notable events include two $580 No-Limit Hold'em tournaments on November 14 and November 17, as well as a $1,125 No-Limit Hold'em tournament on November 16.
The $1,675 Main Event features three starting flights, two beginning on November 19 at 12 and 9 p.m. and one beginning November 20 at 12 p.m. Players eliminated in the opening flight may re-enter into both or either subsequent flight. Those eliminated from the second flight may re-enter into the final flight.
