It’s the first Canada-specific World Poker Tour tournament, and now WPT Enterprises Inc. has announced it will be televised in a four-part series broadcasted by Rogers Sportsnet.
Jim Van Horne, a Canadian sports announcer, and “Cowboy” Kenna James, a poker pro, will host the show, highlighting the nine-day WPT Canada Coast to Coast Championships where about 2,000 players compete for a slice of a $1.6 million prize pool.
The series airs this week on Sportsnet East, Sportsnet Ontario, Sportsnet West and Sportsnet Pacific.
