After a fantastic debut last year, the World Cup of Cards returns to Canada’s famous Playground Poker Club in Montreal with an even bigger and better edition. Running from August 13 to September 13, the World Cup of Cards features over $6,000,000 in guaranteed prize pools in events designed to appeal to players of all experience levels.
We have tons of great hotels near the Playground so book today to take part in this fantastic festival.
With tournaments of all sizes spread out throughout the month, the World Cup of Cards is all about giving players what they want – fun events, variety, huge guarantees, and a ton of value for their poker-playing dollar.
For the second year in a row, one of the highlights of the WCC is the number of non-Hold’em events on the schedule. Of the 36 events, 11 will be played in “other” games including PLO8, Crazy Pineapple, and the popular “Roll the Dice” 6-game mixed tournament. There are also several alternative NL Hold’em formats on the calendar like a Shootout, a Mix Max event, and more. Every week features great options for players who want some variety in their poker tournament play!
