HeadsUp Entertainment International have announced details of the upcoming Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority (SIGA) Poker Championship in Canada as the global media and entertainment company look to take advantage of the problems being experienced by North American poker players following the events of ‘Black Friday’.

• Dakota Dunes Casino will be hosting the SIGA Poker Championship on October 5 & 6, 2013 which features an estimated $250,000 Prize Pool. There is a $550 buy-in consisting of ($500 Entry fee, $50 Admin Fee).
• Dakota Dunes Casino offers everything for an exciting and fun night out. Located just 20 minutes south of Saskatoon on highway 219.
• From 2010 the tournament had several changes of title, all reflecting it's host venue and sponsor, the Dakota Dunes Casino. It was last held in 2016. It was last held in 2016.

Of course, we all know that the US Department of Justice (DoJ) shut down several poker websites on April 15 – including Full Tilt Poker, PokerStars and Absolute Poker – but Full Tilt’s Canadian customers may well also be dragged into the mess after the Kahnawake Gaming Commission (KGC) decision to review the website’s Secondary Client Provider Authorisation as they try to establish whether the company’s licence will be continued.

Additionally, the Quebec Poker Tournament League (LTPQ) has been shelved for now because of a looming legal action brought to the attention of Canada’s Superior Court following a dispute between the LTPQ and Loto-Québec over alleged missing sponsorship and service payments from the state-run authority.

With such worrying news for Canadian poker players, HeadsUp – the company behind the Canadian Poker Tour (CPT) and the Canadian Poker Player Television Network, as well as almost anything else you can think of related to poker in the North American country – has moved to press home the benefits of live poker.

HeadsUp runs six First Nation casinos in the prairie province of Saskatchewan, with each hosting satellites for the SIGA Poker Championship No-Limit Texas Hold’em event that will take place on October 1-2.

The CAD$500+CAD$50 (about $530/£323/€366+$53/£32/€37) buy-in championship – which will possess a CAD$250,000 prize pool ($265,182/£161,783/€183,026) – will itself be hosted by the Dakota Dunes Casino just outside of Saskatoon as organisers aim to make the event one of the leading tournaments in Western Canada.

The event will run after satellites have been completed throughout the province at the Dakota Dunes Casino, as well as the Bear Claw Casino in Moose Mountain Provincial Park near the town of Carlyle, North Battleford’s Gold Eagle Casino, the Living Sky Casino in Swift Current, Prince Albert’s Northern Lights Casino, and the Painted Hand Casino in Yorkton.

This is the first time the CPT and SIGA have worked together for an event, but it is hoped it will not be the last as both organisations aim to build a strong partnership.

CPT president Dan Forigo said his organisation “are extremely pleased to be working with SIGA”, before adding that “we look forward to building a long and profitable relationship with them and are confident that the events we are working on for 2012 will continue to grow”.

The CPT has recently been working hard with casinos in Canada, as well as the United States, in an attempt to create larger land-based poker tournaments to meet the demand produced by the closure of several [geolink href=”https://www.pokernewsreport.com/us-poker-sites”]poker websites in the USA[/geolink].

Many pros from the USA have already moved north of the border into Canada because there is no withholding tax levied by the government on winnings, while the age when players are permitted to gamble is 18 or 19, depending on of the provinces’ laws.

As such, HeadsUp management expects considerable growth throughout this year, while also predicting that revenues will increase, too, through additional sponsorship and demand for television coverage by poker-loving fans.

Back in 2004-2005, when the National Hockey League (NHL) instigated a lock-out, many companies reallocated funds to poker through extra sponsorship and television revenues – and HeadsUp believe that the expected National Basketball Association (NBA) strike could have a comparable effect this year.

Once a year, the Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority (SIGA) invites the best poker players in Canada to Dakota Dunes Casino for the SIGA Poker Championship. Located 20 minutes south of Saskatoon, this year Dakota Dunes will play host to the eighth annual running of this Thanksgiving tournament.

The home of the Championship, Dakota Dunes, is on the Whitecap Dakota First Nation (WDFN), a modern, progressive First Nation that is part of the larger Dakota nation. The roots of the WDFN go back to 1889 when it was first established as Moose Woods. The modern name stems from an instrumental leader at the time of establishment, Chief Whitecap. Today, the progressiveness of the nation extends to hosting one of Saskatchewan's largest poker tournaments every year on Canada's Thanksgiving weekend.

First run in 2011 as a $550 buy-in, the tournament increased to $675 in 2017 as popularity increased. This year for 2019, the buy-in has gone up once again, to $800 with an $80 admin fee. That means the expected prize pool for this year will be around $240,000, with a first place prize that includes a free ticket to the 2020 World Series of Poker Main Event added on top.

From the beginning in 2011, the SIGA Poker Championship has been a popular event. That first year, Winnipeg's Leo Leclerc managed to get through a field of 336 entries to win $36,840, and last year, Daniel Lefebvre made it through 366 runners for the $37,808 first prize. Other winners through the years include Trevor Norlander and Chris Bowers.

With the high turnout, SIGA decided to go to a double Day 1 format in 2017, allowing players to qualify for a final day on Sunday through either Day 1a on Friday or Day 1b on Saturday. Players start each Day 1 with 30,000 chips, and play 16 30 minute levels on the first day, with action playing down to a winner on Day 2. If action on either day 1 gets down to 15% of the starting field, play will be halted early.

This year, cards go in the air for Day 1a at noon CT on Friday, October 4th, with Day 1b running on Saturday, October 5th. As has been the tradition here, the Championship bracelet will be handed out in the evening on Canada's Thanksgiving.

PokerNews Canada will be on the floor from start to end to bring you all the action, and as an added bonus this year, the SIGA Poker Championship will be showcased to the world on the global domain of PokerNews as well.
