With the end of the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas this week, the 2025 Pure Poker Tour is back for stop #3 on this year’s schedule. Pure Casino Edmonton, on Argyle Rd, hosts this 11-day series with 16 events across nearly two weeks of poker action.
Satellite action for the series kicks off live on Sunday, July 13, at Pure Casino Edmonton, and players have three more live shots at satellite seats coming up this week. Casino Edmonton hosts another satellite on Tuesday evening, while Casino Yellowhead is running qualifier games on Monday and Wednesday across town.
That leads into the official kickoff for PPT #3 on Thursday, when the 50+ crowd convenes for Event #1, and the rest of the field sits down for some half-and-half poker at 4 PM. That’s the first of 11 days of poker with both two-card and four-card action. And as always, along with the live shots at cheap seats in the leadup and throughout the series, KKPoker will be running online shots at the big PPT events, so there are lots of ways to get into the series on the cheap.
11 Days of PPT Action at Argyle with Exclusive Coverage on poker.pro
The World Series of Poker in Las Vegas will pack up the tables and shut down the games as mid-week approaches this week, and that is the cue for Pure Casino Edmonton to start setting things up for PPT #3. The series proper gets underway at noon on July 17 with the Seniors’ game, as well as a mixed NLH/PLO side game later that same day for the whole field.
Those two games kick off poker action that runs for another 14 events until Sunday, July 27. That’s when the final day of the Main Event will run, awarding the biggest prizes of the series.
Main Event is the Big Game This Time
The Main Event is always an important end to any series, but it’s often not the biggest buy-in of a series. However, with no high roller on the schedule for PPT #3 this year, that leaves the $1,100 Main Event as the big game by every metric, with the biggest buy-in and predicted to have the biggest field and biggest prize pool of the series.
Event #3, which runs Day 1 flights on July 18 & 19, could be a similar prize pool to the Main, depending on turnout. It costs about 60% of the Main to play, but may well get a bigger field and compete for total prizes as a result. The series also features a two-day 6-Max game (one Day 1 flight), the half-and-half on opening day, and both deepstack and bounty versions of pot limit Omaha.
Add in a smattering of $300 games, including a Deepstack Hyper, which provided some interesting action when the format debuted at the last series, and there should be a game to fit every bankroll and format preference. See you at Pure Casino Edmonton starting July 17.
