F5 Poker. Everything Poker. Always Refreshing.

Alex Anton won Triton Jeju Event #9, the $30,000 no-limit hold’em turbo, for $577,000 after outlasting a 70-entry field and beating Artur Martirosian heads-up.

According to PokerNews, Anton had already cashed in Event #5 and finished third in Event #7 earlier in the week. The same report said the win came on top of the WSOP bracelet he picked up three months earlier.

The tournament built a $2.1 million prize pool, and only the top 11 finishers got paid. The min-cash was $52,000, while the final table lock-up came when Chen Mingcong was eliminated in ninth for $60,000.

Winfred Yu was the first casualty after the final table was set. Mikita Badziakouski earned $101,000, Byron Kaverman took $128,000, and Adrian Mateos banked $164,000 after Martirosian spiked a pair of nines on the turn.

Stephen Chidwick started the final table in the chip lead, with Anton in third. Chidwick eventually finished fourth for $207,000 when Anton’s J♠4♣ held against 10♦6♣, and Anton then helped put Alisson Piekazewicz on fumes before Piekazewicz exited in third for $269,000.

Heads-up began with Martirosian holding a 4:3 edge, but Anton later took control and entered the last stretch with a 7.8 million to 6.2 million lead, according to PokerNews. Martirosian briefly doubled with ace-jack through eight-four, then Anton closed out the title with K♥6♠ holding against 5♥3♥.

Card Player described the turbo format as speedy and said it “lessened the gravitas” of proceedings. Anton told Triton staff, “It was really silly,” and added, “It was fun, but we were just flipping for a lot of money.” The victory also earned him 588 Card Player Player of the Year points, his third title and seventh final-table finish of 2026, and pushed his career haul above $3 million. Card Player also said his only bigger score came from a $678,300 cash in Las Vegas this summer, while the updated standings put him 21st overall with 4,570 points.

CoinPoker has opened a $50 flash discount for the Sept. 13 CoinMillion, cutting the direct buy-in for eligible 3-Bet Club members to $165 from $215. The first 500 discounted entries are capped, and the prize pool stays at $1 million guaranteed.

According to PokerStrategy, the offer went live at 12:00 UTC on Sept. 11 and runs until 06:00 UTC on Sept. 12 unless the full allotment is claimed earlier. The discount applies only to the initial direct registration, not to rebuys, and once the cap is hit the price goes back to $215.

As we reported on Sept. 10, CoinPoker already had four CoinMillion Sundays lined up for September inside the Global Online Poker Championship. The Sept. 13 event is the second of those four, and it follows the monthly flagship format.

The price cut is aimed at 3-Bet Club members, the optional CoinPoker rewards subscription. Discounted entries still compete for the full share of the prize pool, so the lower buy-in does not change what the event pays out.

CoinPoker also said GOPC payouts had already run more than $6 million ahead of scheduled guarantees after two weeks, putting the festival on course to challenge its overall $50 million guarantee.

ACR Poker is loading more than $4 million in guarantees into Sunday’s OSS XL schedule, with 50-plus tournaments set for Sept. 13. The lineup stretches from $1.65 buy-ins to $2,650 events and is anchored by a $500,000 guaranteed Main Event.

As covered in late August, OSS XL runs Sept. 6-29 with 336 events and more than $50 million in guarantees. The series page also says every cash counts toward the High, Medium or Low leaderboard divisions, with more than $60,000 in added cash and tournament tickets available through the end of the festival.

The Main Event opens with Day 1A on Sunday at a $66 direct buy-in. Day 1A continues until 10% of the field remains, with successful players advancing to Day 2 on Sept. 27. Day 1B runs on Sept. 20, and satellites for both flights start at $6.60.

Beyond the Main Event, Sunday’s top end includes OSS XL #99, a $630 event with a $600,000 guarantee, and OSS XL #102, a $1,050 event with a $500,000 guarantee. The schedule also includes a $250,000 guaranteed $630 tournament, another $250,000 guaranteed $215 event, and OSS XL #101, a $2,650 progressive knockout with $300,000 guaranteed.

The lower and mid-range portion of the card also features Mini Phil’s Thrill at a $2,650 buy-in with a $250,000 guarantee, the $88 progressive knockout at $150,000 guaranteed, the $27.50 Sunday Smash at $100,000 guaranteed, and the $16.50 Sunday Splash at $75,000 guaranteed. The Sept. 13 program leads into the two larger OSS XL Main Events later in the month, one for $2.5 million at $2,650 and another for $2 million at $1,050, with starting flights on Sept. 20 and Sept. 27.

CoinPoker has launched Play For Fun, a free-to-play Android app on the Google Play store. The app uses virtual Play Chips only, not real money, and it lets users join cash games or tournaments without going through the usual real-money registration flow or entering payment details.

The app is built as a practice and casual-play environment. CardPlayer reported that players can sit with other human players around the world and use it to test strategy and learn poker mechanics without financial risk. A CoinPoker representative said, “Poker doesn’t have any barriers with a free-to-play app, but still has every aspect that makes this one of the most popular skill-based games in the world.”

The software covers standard poker formats, including Texas hold’em and pot-limit Omaha, in both cash-game and tournament versions. It also includes all-in or fold variants for both kinds of play, and CardPlayer Lifestyle described the app as live with tables open when it announced the release.

The free app also relies on an in-game economy to keep players supplied with chips. Users get a 25,000-chip hourly bonus and a 100,000-chip daily bonus, earn Reward Points on every hand, and can exchange those points in the built-in Reward Store for more chips, tournament tickets and virtual items.

The app adds table customization tools as well. Players can adjust buy-ins, audio controls, hand-strength indicators, table themes and card designs, while celebrations for big hands and tournament wins and leaderboards are included.

WSOP Paradise is putting up to $1 million in extra prizes behind this year’s Bahamas series, with the official page calling the offer the $1,000,000 PARADISE PARLAY. The promotion is open only to players who reached a final table or won a WSOP bracelet event during the 2026 calendar year before the festival begins, and if the payout falls short of $1 million, the shortfall is split equally among participating Bracelet Winners and Final Tablists.

As covered when the 2026 schedule was announced in August, WSOP Paradise is the year-end Bahamas stop with 20 bracelet events and $120 million in guarantees. PokerStrategy said the added-value money is meant to draw high-stakes players into the Super Main Event and its re-entries, and described the timing as especially smart because GGPoker is running its own WSOP Online series.

The reward ladder starts with a $500 Day 1A bonus if a player who has made a WSOP final table registers for the Super Main Event on Day 1A, and a $1,000 bonus if a bracelet winner does the same. If one of those eligible players then makes a WSOP Paradise final table, the prize rises to $5,000 for a prior final tablist and $10,000 for a prior bracelet winner. If they reach the Super Main Event final table, those amounts become five times larger.

A qualifying bracelet win at WSOP Paradise pays $50,000 to $100,000, while a qualifying Super Main Event champion who was already eligible can collect $250,000 to $500,000. WSOP defines a final table as 2nd through 9th place. It also says each reward category can be earned once, only the highest achievement in a tournament counts, and prizes are paid directly into the player’s WSOP LIVE account. The page says WSOP can modify or suspend the promotion at any time, and PokerStrategy said the added-value setup could make the Player of the Year race even more interesting for players still in the mix.
