2012 WPT Montreal Sets New Record
The start of this weekend’s 2012 WPT Montreal set a new record for a tournament with over a $1k buy-in taking place in Canada.
1173 entrants were recorded during Day 1 of this event with a previous record set earlier this month at the WSOPC Vancouver (1032 entrants). These figures demonstrate that poker is alive and well in Canada and apparently growing in popularity.
