Canadian poker players have been doing their last bit of traveling abroad before heading home for the Christmas holidays.
The last major stop overseas saw a number of Canadians in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, which hosted to three major tournament series: The European Poker Tour and Eureka Poker Tour, both sponsored by PokerStars, and the World Poker Tour which is sponsored by Party Poker.
Here is a summary of Prague tournament results by Canadians that include two first place finishes in side events by Kayvan Payman and Guillaume Rivet.
Congratulations to all winners!
