Last we checked, Canada Day was earlier in the year. Our Canadian friends took the day off and did a bunch of Canadian things. We remember it clearly, largely because we were a little jealous.

So, with the above completely understood, you can probably see why we were like, “Wha?” when Team PokerStars Canada blew up yesterday during the Sunday tournaments.

One $215 Mixed Hold’em final table alone consisted of Team PokerStars Pros Pat Pezzin, Greg Debora, and An Van Nguyen. If that wasn’t enough, Pezzin came in runner-up in a fixed limit Omaha event. Outdoing them all was Canadian Team PokerStars Online player Steve Paul who hit the $530 NLHE event for a fifth place finish and $25,863. It was as if someone poured run good in the Canadians drank up.
