HeadsUp Canadian Poker Players
HeadsUp Entertainment announced today that they have completed their takeover of the Canadian Poker Tour and Canadian Poker Player magazine.
The CPT is set to launch their first event, the Calgary Classic, on June 28th at Cash Casino. Then, on the 14th of July they will be heading to the Calgary Stampede to host the Stampede Classic at Deerfoot Hotel and Casino. You can qualify for the Calgary Classic in a league being run on Canada’s largest poker forum.
“We are excited about where poker in Canada is going’” stated president and CEO Kelly B. Kellner. “The model we have designed takes poker and tournament play to the next level with a properly designed player ranking system as well as a national televised Final Event, something the tour has lacked in the past.”
The re-launch of Canadian Poker Player Magazine is also a key element to the unfolding business model, which is designed to provide players with a comprehensive overview of what is happening in poker in Canada. The first new issue is currently in the works and any potential advertisers are encouraged to contact the marketing team at info[at]canadianpokerplayer.com.
Either way you look at it, this is good news for poker players in Canada that the CPT isn’t just going to die off.
