Canada is Poker’s Other Superpower
When it comes to live poker, the United States has long been the superpower in the game due to the various venues that includes Las Vegas. Despite the global expansion of the game, many top players choose to move to the U.S. or spend a significant portion of their careers playing in the U.S.
In recent years, Canada has become poker’s other superpower. With Negreanu leading the way and many top poker stars in the live arena and playing online poker in Canada, this great country is poised to continue developing world class poker players for decades to come.
