The last time this tournament was played at Hamilton, Piercy came away with the hardware. At 40, the Las Vegas native still has enough talent to remain competitive in any given tournament, and I like his chances to put forth another strong showing at the RBC Canadian Open. Piercy has six top-10s in 2018-19, including a co-runner-up at Trinity. The 1951 Open tournament was won by Jim Ferrier, who successfully defended the title he had won at Royal Montreal a year earlier. Charles Country Club hosted the 1952 Canadian Open, and saw Johnny Palmer set the 72-hole scoring record of 263, which still stands after more than 60 years. Palmer's rounds of 66-65-66-66 bettered the old 1947 mark set by Bobby Locke by five shots. Party Poker has recently started running satellites to give its players the chance to qualify for the Main Event of the Canadian Open Poker Championships (COPC). The Stampede Casino in Calgary, Alberta will host the $5,000 buy-in event May 13th through May 17th. 2008 Canadian Open Poker Championship - No-Limit Hold'em - Event 3 - Poker tournament results, including winners and their payouts and winnings.

CALGARY, Alberta, April 18, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PokerVision Media Inc. (PVN), a wholly owned subsidiary of ePlay Digital Inc. (CSE:EPY) (FSE:2NY2) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement to produce and broadcast 2 major Canadian Poker Tour events as part of the re-launch of the CPT which was acquired last December by ePlay Digital Inc. The Company has recently incorporated an events and gaming division to secure the various licenses from provincial regulators required to run events in Canada.
The Canadian Open Poker Championship (COPC) is a branded series of events that in previous years were televised on Rogers SportsNet and The Score Television Network in Canada and featured a $5,000 buy in “heads up” format for its main event. The series attracted many of the world’s top poker pros and celebrities and the new and improved series will enhance the television and event experience with the incorporation of PVN’s CyberRail interactive broadcast app. Past TV episodes of the COPC are currently airing in the US on The Action Network which reaches over 22 million households.
The CPT National Poker Championships is a new series that will introduce an innovative and unique tournament structure that will allow players from across the country to compete in various locations then coming together in a fully televised and live streamed final at a centralized host venue. This multi-venue format has been used successfully in other countries and is anticipated that it will generate one of the largest prize pools the Canadian market has ever seen.
“We are moving forward quickly to bring Canadian poker to PVN and broadcast the game in new interactive ways to engage viewers and players alike,” commented PVN Director of Poker Programming Adam Schwartz. “The team we are assembling to innovate the tournament experience will set the new standard for broadcast tournament coverage.”
The Company looks to generate revenues in multiple ways from this vertically integrated business model. Tournament registration fees, sponsorships, advertising and license fees will be generated in the events division while the television and multi-platform networks create subscription and digital revenue streams for the media division.
