They took out the Country column in their reporting so not to bring attention to the fact the almighty USA is not dominating the WSOP even though they have 80% of the entrants.
The last event they had them in was for the 10k HU won by a Canadian.

Also, Canadians playing in the WSOP are much more likely to be pro or semi-pro players than Americans.
Even if they are true Canadians they can get a whole lot more mtt experience in now online then any American can so this don't really surprise me at all. If someone told me United Kingdom was crushing at the WSOP compared to USA I wouldn't be surprised either.
Black Friday was only 2 yrs ago.
Americans switched to play live or did move to other countries temporarily to play online.
It's not like the tourneys went from 60% Americans to 10% in the past 2 yrs.

That would be like saying Isaac Haxton is Maltese. It's obvious he isn't.
There's too many Canadian players that are just American players.
None, they are all Canadians. The Americans that have moved to Canada to play poker are still Americans and are listed as such.
Canada is god /thread

Canada does have it's Limitles though.
I was surprised when I looked this up last week that Canada was #2 on the all-time WSOP bracelet list with 38, well ahead of the UK. I believe (didn't check everyone, but most names I didn't know) all are post-Negreanu as well, so basically from 2000 on Canada is averaging about 3 bracelets a year at the wsop

5 this year so far and a tweet from Palansky indicated about 5% of the total entrants were Canadian. So far Canada has taken about 12% of the total payouts. Do you have access to the numbers?
you used to be able to find stuff like that in the official WSOP reports from each completed event, but I don't see it this year. Nolan Dalla used to handle it, so he might know where they are putting it or has access to it. I usually just go to thehendonmob.com5 this year so far and a tweet from Palansky indicated about 5% of the total entrants were Canadian. So far Canada has taken about 12% of the total payouts.

I see lots of country flags all over anywhere chip counts are reported.
They came back sometime last night. Maybe it was a software glitch.
