Canada Meets Casino Royale:  partypokerLIVE guarantees $10 Million Prize
"The guaranteed $10 million Canadian prize pool is the largest poker tournament guarantee ever offered in Canada," confirms Mike Sexton, partypoker ambassador and Poker Hall of Famer. Sexton says the winner — and at least two more players — will walk away as millionaires, thanks to two, seven figure runner-up prizes.

"With some trepidation we guaranteed a prize-pool of C$5,000,000 last year — and were overwhelmed by the response. Montreal's Jean Pascal Savard emerged as the 2017 victor with a cool $956,000. This year, we're digging even deeper and guaranteeing — what some may call a crazy C$10,000,000 — for the main MILLIONS event," he says.
