The Red Hot Poker Tour hosts poker tournaments with no entry fees in Canadian bars and pubs. Every night of the week, players can compete to accumulate points which they use to qualify for the end-of-season Tournament of Champions. Past champions have been rewarded with great prizes including trips to Las Vegas, buy-ins to the World Series of Poker, and seats at Daniel Negreanu's Protégé final table.[1]
IN THE MONEY – Current Count: $783,953. The Red Hot Poker Tour “ITM” page posts the successful tournament runs of Members. If you’ve had a big score at a major tournament please let us know so we can add you to this list of incredible success stories.
At the completion of its sixth season, the Tour expanded outside of Ontario for the first time, holding qualifying tournaments in British Columbia. With the inclusion of online-based Red Club Room tournaments, players are now able to compete via the internet through events hosted on PartyPoker.
The Season 7 Tournament of Champions winner was the first champion to be rewarded with a buy-in to a $10,000 tournament: a seat at the Main Event of the World Series of Poker. The Season 8 prize was a buy-in to the $10,000 Main Event at the second annual World Poker Tour North American Poker Championship at Fallsview Casino. For Season 10, the winner was given a choice of one of three World Poker Tour tournaments, and wound up playing at the LA Poker Classic.
