All monetary values displayed are Canadian Dollars
Buy-ins range from $110 up to $1,650 and there are a whole host of different formats for players to get involved in, from the Tag Team event to Deepstack Turbos, Bounty tournaments, satellites, shootouts, a women’s event, pot-limit Omaha and PLO8 events.

Grand Prix Canada features four online Day 1s, hosted at partypoker, and 10 live starting flights held at the Playground Poker Club.
