F5 Poker. Everything Poker. Always Refreshing.

GGPoker is bringing back its Ontario WSOP Online bracelet series, with eight events set for Sept. 13 through Oct. 6. The schedule is led by a C$1 million Main Event guarantee on a C$1,000 buy-in, and every bracelet winner will also receive a WSOP Paradise package.

According to Pokerfuse, this is the fifth time Ontarians have had their own WSOP online bracelet series since GGPoker launched in the province in 2022. As covered in late August, Ontario players were still missing from the initial 2026 WSOP Online rollout. The Ontario run also begins one day after the WSOP Super Circuit at Playground in Kahnawake, Quebec, wraps on Sept. 12.

The series opens Sept. 13 with the 5th Annual WSOP Ontario Kick-Off, a C$500 event with a C$250,000 guarantee. The second bracelet event is the C$300 Gladiators of Poker Ontario, a bounty-format tournament with a C$300,000 guarantee and a flighted structure that reaches its final stage on Sept. 14. On Sept. 20 comes the C$1,500 Monster Stack NLH, also set at C$300,000.

Sept. 21 brings the C$400 Colossus, which has a C$400,000 guarantee and is described as the second-largest guarantee in the series. The Colossus uses multiple Day 1 flights. On Sept. 27, players can enter the C$600 Ultra Stack NLH for a C$300,000 guarantee, followed by the flighted C$400 PLOSSUS at C$200,000. The bracelet run closes with the C$525 The Closer NLH Bounty Turbo on Oct. 4, before the Main Event reaches Day 2 on Oct. 5.

The eight bracelet events carry C$2.95 million in guarantees, or almost C$370,000 per event on average. The other seven events all sit between C$200,000 and C$400,000 in guarantees. The full side-event schedule has not yet been announced, and the broader Ontario series is expected to end up somewhere around C$7 million to C$8 million in total guarantees, potentially more once side events are added.

Winners will get a WSOP bracelet, a top cash prize and a WSOP Paradise package. The Main Event champion receives a C$42,000 WSOP Paradise Super Main package that includes entry to the $26,000 Super Main Event, which carries a $50 million guarantee, plus a 13-night stay at Baha Mar from Dec. 5 to Dec. 18. The other seven bracelet winners get a C$7,000 WSOP Paradise Circuit package that includes the $2,750 Circuit Championship Mystery Bounty and four nights at Baha Mar from Dec. 1 to Dec. 5. Players must register under their real names, and final tables do not allow deal-making.

ClubWPT Gold and Doug Polk have announced Poker Champs, a $500,000 heads-up tournament that runs from Sept. 19-26. The event will start with eight live streamers in best-of-three matches, and the winners move on to the semifinals.

As covered in an earlier PokerOrg report, ClubWPT Gold signed Polk as part of an aggressive push to become more visible in poker. That same outlet also described the site as less than a year old and launched toward the end of 2024 as part of the World Poker Tour’s World Championships.

Poker Champs is set up so the final four all cash. The semifinal losers receive $75,000, the runner-up gets $125,000, and the two finalists play for $250,000.

So far, the confirmed field includes Alexandra Botez, xQc, sodapoppin and erobb221. ClubWPT Gold has said none of the players involved will be professional poker players.

The matches will take place on the ClubWPT Gold platform, and each participant will livestream their own perspective during every round. Polk will also provide cards-up commentary on each matchup, with the show available on his YouTube channel, where viewers will see both players’ hole cards and webcam feeds.

The full lineup will be announced soon, and the matchups will follow after that.

Caitlyn Jenner is headlining Celebrity Poker Tour Invitational XIII in Las Vegas, and the appearance is her CPT debut. The event is inside PokerGO Studio and is part of CPT’s Season 3 lineup.

The field also includes Ray J, Bryce Hall, Aljamain Sterling, Zach Justice, Camilla Araujo, Telli Swift, Fred Jackson and Jose Canseco. Aljamain Sterling won last year’s CPT event in the Bahamas at World Series of Poker Paradise, and Canseco is described as the more seasoned poker player in a group of mostly newcomers.

PokerNews traced CPT back to 2023 and noted that the tour has built a regular cast along the way. That list includes Book it With Trent, Princess Love and Suede Brooks, while past winners also include Maria Ho, Ethan Klein, Vegas Matt and King. Princess Love won Invitational II, and Suede Brooks took down Game Night VI in May 2025.

Tightpoker said Invitational XIII kicks off live on Friday at 6 p.m. and highlighted Telli Swift, a CPT veteran with two final tables, among the names drawing attention. The event streams live on the CPT YouTube channel.

Chance Kornuth reached the final table in both of ACR Poker’s Mystery Bounty Venoms as the site’s $15 million festival wrapped up. The two championships carried $12 million in guarantees for no-limit hold’em and $3 million for pot-limit Omaha, with each event set at a $2,650 buy-in.

As reported last month, ACR Poker had added back-to-back closing flights for players chasing Day 2 seats. That setup left Kornuth alive in both events at the same time, and Chris Moorman also made the NLH final table.

The NLH side drew 4,792 entries and did not beat its $12 million guarantee, according to Poker.org. Moorman was the first player out of the final table, cashing for $71,171 including $5,000 in bounties, and Kornuth finished seventh for $131,395.

Card Player reported Deltoid88 as the NLH winner after a heads-up win over Ivan 'chickenpastry’ Limeira, good for $865,868. SpadePoker said the title match ended with an ICM deal after one hand.

The PLO event drew 1,238 entries and finished at a $3,095,000 prize pool, just over its $3 million guarantee. Kornuth took sixth for $57,339, while ImWinninAnyway beat turov1 heads-up for $365,192, including more than $75,000 from bounty payouts. Poker.org also noted that Kornuth had previously made a PLO Venom final table in April and finished runner-up.

PokerStars on FanDuel has unveiled its September Dynasty Series, a new online festival that runs Sept. 12-28 across the operator’s U.S. and Ontario platforms. The U.S. side has 100 scheduled events and at least $3.5 million in guarantees, while Ontario gets 61 events and, for now, no series-wide guarantee that has been announced.

As reported in August, FanDuel had already confirmed that a September tournament series was coming, but the name and schedule were still hidden. Pokerfuse reported that the new festival is branded the September Dynasty Series, and it follows the April Ignite Series, which packed 90 tournaments into three weeks and carried $5 million in guarantees. That earlier series also produced heavy overlays, with Poker Industry PRO calculating a $1,063,762 shortfall.

For U.S. players, buy-ins run from $10 to $1,500. The schedule mixes no-limit hold’em, pot-limit Omaha and PLO5, and a leaderboard will run throughout the series for players who stack up consistent results. At the top end, the $1,500 High Roller is set for Sept. 27, while the $300 Main Event runs Sept. 27-28 with a $350,000 guarantee. The U.S. slate also includes a $50 Mini Main Event with a $75,000 guarantee.

Ontario’s version is the first tournament series on PokerStars on FanDuel in that market. Its 61-event schedule is NLHE-only, with regular, PKO and mystery bounty events, and buy-ins from C$30 to C$1,500. The Ontario Main Event and Mini Main close out the festival, but the guarantees were still to be announced when the schedule was published.

Ahead of the Dynasty launch, Ontario players also have the free-to-play Summer Sendoff Freeroll Festival running Sept. 4-13, with daily tournaments and guarantees from $250 to $5,000.
