Canadian Poker Tour Exceeds Revenue Expectations, Prepares For Canadian Open Poker Championships
Jul 27th
One of the major players in the Canadian poker scene, Heads Up Entertainment – which owns the Canadian Poker Tour and will host the upcoming Canadian Open Poker Championships in August – is the benefactor of good news on the financial front in a time when such reports are rare for various poker tournament schedules and companies.
