In 2010, Jonathan Duhamel from Boucherville, Quebec, reignited poker interest in his home country when he won the World Series of Poker Main Event for a first prize of $8,944,310. In November 2012, the World Poker Tour (WPT), after a four year hiatus, staged a highly successful WPT Montreal event at the Playground Poker Club. The $3,300 (CAD) re-entry event attracted 1,173 starters and 25-year-old online heads-up specialist Jonathan Roy took home the first prize of $784,101 (CAD). The event was the third-largest WPT event in history and the largest poker tournament with a buy-in over $1,000 in Canadian history.
