-- Canada is a hotbed of great poker players and Paradise Poker is in search of the best one to crown him or her King of Canada with a $50,000 prize. This first-ever exclusively Canadian poker tournament kicks off with daily freerolls at ParadisePoker.com on January 8th and concludes with an online main event on April 15, 2007.
"Canadian players consistently win or place well in poker tournaments all over the world," said John Faley, Paradise Poker Marketing Director. "The field is already strong and new Canadian players are joining Paradise Poker everyday, so we decided to hold a tournament just for them."
Beginning Monday, January 8, the top 50 players from each daily heat qualify for the weekly King of Canada final table held every Sunday at 10 p.m. ET. Twenty-six Sunday final winners will earn a seat at the King of Canada main event held online on April 15. The winner will receive a cool $50,000 CAD. The King of Canada poker tournament is only open to residents of Canada.
During the opening week, players can enter a special one-time King of Canada side table by depositing $50 into their ParadisePoker.com account using the deposit code KINGCAN1. The first place finisher at the side table automatically earns a spot at the King of Canada main event on April 15.
Additionally, four seats to the King of Canada main event will be randomly awarded to customers who have played in a King of Canada qualifier and deposited a minimum of $100 to their ParadisePoker.com account in that same week. A King of Canada Survivor Seat at the main event will be awarded to the player with the most Sunday final appearances. One lucky player will win the Paradise hotseat -- a seat to the final table via lottery.

Casino Events and Tournaments Get set to pig out at The Holiday Feast For this Christmas season, these Vegas Technology-based casinos are laying out a not-so-little tournament they like to call “The Holiday Feast.” Featuring the game Cleopatra’s Pyramid, this one will span an insane 19 holiday days from December 17, 2008 to January 4, 2009; registration deadline is December 10.
Rolling out slots tourneys into 2009 Before we turn the calendar page on 2008, though, two more of the progressively more inappropriately-named yet evermore popular Weekender tournaments are going down. Up next are Naughty Ninjas (tournament runs December 3-7; registration closes December 2, 8pm EST) and The Reel Deal (tournament runs November 26-30; registration closes November 25, 8pm EST).
Sloto Santa and his $5000 sack The Sloto’Cash Santa’s Sack is loaded with gifts valued at some $5,000: a bottle of champagne, luxury food items, a Clarins gift set, a digital photo frame, a Playstation 3, and an iPod Nano; the Slotovians suggest that, should you be less than interested in the items, you regift them to family members.
