CoinPoker Adds a CoinMillion GOPC Edition for Sept. 6-7

The $215 event carries a $1 million guarantee and is joined by CoinMinion and Mini CoinMinion on the same weekend.

CoinPoker has scheduled a special CoinMillion GOPC Edition for Sept. 6-7. The $215 two-day tournament carries a $1 million guarantee and sits inside the company’s Global Online Poker Championship lineup.

The same weekend also includes a $55 CoinMinion with a $250,000 guarantee and an $11 Mini CoinMinion with a $100,000 guarantee.

CoinPoker made CoinMillion a monthly event after its first two editions generated a combined 9,062 entries. The opening two runs produced 9,062 combined entries and paid $248,000 to the champions.

The format stays the same for the monthly version. Players go through a two-day structure, the field plays down to the final seven on Sunday, and those seven return on Monday to finish. The event starts with 100,000 chips, 10-minute levels and late registration open through Level 19.

The first CoinMillion ran on May 10 during the World Poker Masters and drew 4,278 entries. DaniC1994 won $126,500. The July 12 edition drew 4,784 entries, and monc took $121,500.

The broader GOPC runs from Aug. 23 to Sept. 28 with $50 million guaranteed, three time-zone-specific schedules for Europe, Latin America and Asia, and three buy-in tiers. CoinPoker also says players can chase Gold, Silver and Bronze medals while competing as part of regional GOPC teams.

Sportscasting reported more than 700 Medal Events across the series, plus a $530 Main Event with a $3 million guarantee, a $55 Global Main with a $1 million guarantee and an $11 Mini Main with a $250,000 guarantee. It also said the festival carries $350,000 in promotions, and CoinPoker says it will have paid out more than $133 million in tournament prizes across its 2026 series by the time the GOPC wraps.

ACR Poker Stacks More Than $20 Million Into Aug. 16 Sunday

Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms, Run Up Main Events and the full tournament slate all land on the same card.

ACR Poker is loading more than $20 million in guaranteed prize money into Super Stacked Sunday on Aug. 16. The card centers on Day 1B of the Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms, three Run Up Series Main Events, and the return of the site’s full Sunday tournament slate.

According to ACR Poker, the slimmed-down summer schedule is officially over. WebWire said the day is built around several overlapping reasons to play, with majors and supporting events spread across no-limit hold’em, pot-limit Omaha, mystery bounty, progressive knockout, multi-flight, and high-stakes formats.

The biggest draw is the Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms. The No-Limit Hold’em edition carries a $12 million guarantee and the Pot-Limit Omaha edition adds $3 million, for $15 million combined, and both have $2,650 buy-ins and eight Day 1 flights throughout August. Day 1B starts at 12:05 p.m. ET on Aug. 16.

The NLH Venom carries a $500,000 top Mystery Bounty, while the PLO version tops out at $250,000. Minimum bounties are $5,000 once the Mystery Bounty phase begins on Day 2, and players who reach that stage are already in the money. ACR also says Day 1B is projected to be the biggest Venom day the site has ever hosted.

Venom Fever adds another route in, with more than 1,500 seats guaranteed through Direct Satellites, Mega Satellites, Beast tournaments, Survivor Flips and other paths that start from $0. Separately, ACR reopened its Venom Vault on Aug. 3, and Golden Ticket seats from that promotion are issued for Day 1B of either Venom.

The Run Up Series adds another layer to the day. Card Player reported that the five-week series launched on July 12 and runs through Aug. 17, with 163 tournaments and more than $10 million in guarantees.

ACR says Super Stacked Sunday is the biggest day of the Run Up schedule. Three Main Events start at 11:05 a.m. ET, with the $1,050 High Main Event offering $750,000 guaranteed, the $215 Mid Main Event $400,000, and the $33 Low Main Event $200,000.

All three Main Events are set to resume on Monday, Aug. 17, and ACR says there is $1.35 million guaranteed across the trio after they move to Day 2. The rest of the Sunday card includes a $1 million guaranteed Mystery Bounty Multi-Flight with a $100,000 top bounty, Day 2 of the $50,000 Guaranteed Dime Progressive Knockout at 4:05 p.m. ET, and a $200,000 Guaranteed High Roller.

GGPoker Posts 2026 WSOP Online Schedule With 33 Bracelets

$5,000 Main Event carries a $25 million guarantee as the six-week series adds $5 million in promotions.

GGPoker announced the schedule for WSOP Online 2026, featuring 33 bracelet events and $5 million in added value. The series runs from Aug. 16 through Sept. 29, awards 33 gold bracelets, and comes with $5 million in added promotions. The $5,000 Main Event leads the way again, this time with a $25 million guarantee.

The lineup includes a $500 Mini Main Event with a $5 million guarantee, a $1,500 Millionaire Maker with a $5 million guaranteed prize pool and at least $1 million for the winner, and a $10,000 GGMillion$ High Rollers event with at least $10 million up for grabs. GGPoker says the $5K Main Event final table stream is set for Sept. 22 at 18:45 UTC, while the $10K GGMillion$ High Rollers final table stream is scheduled for Sept. 29 at 18:45 UTC. The Main Event stream will be hosted by Jeff Gross and Phil Hellmuth, and the GGMillion$ stream by Gross and Alex Foxen.

The added-value package centers on three promotions. A $1,000,000 Super Pass Bonus gives every bracelet winner a $30,000 Super Pass, which provides direct entry to the Super Main Event at WSOP Paradise in the Bahamas in December. Another $1,000,000 is set aside for the Ranking Freeroll, where the top 10 nations on the final Bracelet Leaderboard unlock country-exclusive freerolls with prize pools scaled to each country’s final standing.

The third promotion is the $3,000,000 Continental Flipouts pool. Those flipouts are held after each bracelet for competitors who share a region with the champion, and GGPoker divides players into four global regions: the Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe, and Eurasia. Prize pools of up to $250,000 will be won through that promotion.

The first details of the 2026 WSOP Online Bracelet Series emerged as part of GGPoker’s $18 million August Giveaway announcement. That rollout follows the pattern of 2025, when the full tournament schedule was released shortly before the series began. The 2026 edition is the seventh international WSOP Online Bracelet Series since its debut in 2020, when the inaugural online festival awarded 54 bracelets and nearly $150 million in prize money.

Last year’s numbers show why the new schedule matters. More than $354 million was won across the WSOP Online series in 2025, while the bracelet series generated more than $119.5 million in prize pools and drew almost 165,000 entries. The $5,000 Main Event alone attracted 5,961 entries, built a $28,314,750 payout, and was won by Benjamin “bencb789” Rolle for $3,900,707, 12 months after he finished eighth in the same event.

Pokerfuse also noted that Simon Mattsson won the 2025 $1,500 Millionaire Maker for $1,271,600, and that Rodrigo Selouan took the $10,000 GGMillion$ High Rollers title for $2,003,850 and a bracelet.

Paddy Power Poker Opens €7.50 Route to Malta Packages

The promotion splits into €70 seat-only satellites and €100 package qualifiers.

Paddy Power Poker is running around-the-clock feeder satellites for The Festival in Malta, with entry starting from €7.50 and a path into €1,850 packages.

PokerNews says the promotion splits into two main satellite tracks. €70 buy-ins award €550 seats only, while €100 buy-ins award the €1,850 package.

The €100 path feeds into The Festival Malta 5x€1,850|D1. Players start with 10,000 chips, play 10-minute levels, begin at 50/100/10a and keep going until the end of Level 16.

Players can enter as many Day 1s as their bankroll allows. If they qualify more than once, only the biggest stack carries through to Day 2.

The next Day 2 starts at 8:30 p.m. on August 9, with another on August 16. On Day 2, the top five finishers are guaranteed an €1,850 package, and extra packages are added for every €1,850 above the €9,250 guarantee.

The Festival’s qualification page lists an €1,850 The Festival Package for iPoker Network campaigns and names Paddypower Poker among the partners. It says many online satellites award full packages that can include the tournament buy-in, hotel accommodation, merchandise and a hospitality experience, and that the city tax is not included. The same page says tickets must be used for the Main Event, and leftover pre-qualifier Main Event tickets can be converted into credits for other events once a player reaches Day 2/ITM.

A year earlier, the No-Limit Hold’em Main Event drew 666 entrants and built a €316,550 prize pool. Portugal’s Nuno Morais won it in St. Julian’s for €61,001.

The Malta stop runs September 11-20 and features two €550 Main Events. One is a traditional No-Limit Hold’em tournament and the other is T.O.R.S.E.S., a mixed game that runs September 13-15 and includes 2-7 Triple Draw, Omaha Hi-Lo, Razz, Seven Card Stud, Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo and Sviten Special.

Fahredin Mustafov comes back with 1,800,000 at the bottom of the leaderboard. He is also second on Bulgaria’s all-time money list with just over $12 million in live earnings, while Gumz is a WPT Prime champion with more than $4 million in career cashes and Fritz is close to $7 million.

The 13 return at 1 p.m. local time on Thursday, August 6, and play restarts at Level 27 with blinds of 100,000/200,000 and a 200,000 big blind ante. Everyone is locked for at least $46,200, with 12 eliminations left before the Main Event trophy is decided.

The Day 2 exit list also wiped out all four Day 1 starting-flight chip leaders. Timur Margolin went out in 68th, Ehsan Amiri in 58th, Dmitrii Nazarov in 30th and Haydar Issa also fell short, while the day also sent out EPT Main Event champions Nicolas Chouity, Arsenii Karmatckii and Gilles Simon, high-stakes regulars Aren Bezhanyan, Felipe Ketzer and Joris Ruijs, WSOP bracelet winners Ravid Garbi and Dietrich Fast, and GGPoker Pro Yuxi Huang.
