A former Big Brother Canada winner and a prominent poker content creator, Martin is a frequent fixture at Deerfoot Inn events and is confirmed to participate in the Ring events.
"The WSOP is coming back to Calgary, and we are thrilled to offer our players a low-cost, exclusive route to the Deerfoot Inn & Casino," said Sarne Lightman, Managing Director of GGPoker.
