It looks like Ontario online poker players get a shot at winning a $6000 package to the 2022 ARIA Poker Championship in Las Vegas, as step satellites starting on May 23 have been spotted on the client, by the super sleuths at pokerfuse.

BetMGM has scheduled a slate of step satellites across its three BetMGM Poker US sites, giving players the chance to win a package worth $6000 — and the same satellites are also expected to run in Ontario.

In theory, if the satellites mirror those in the US — which pokerfuse thinks they should — starting Monday, May 23, players will be able to join a step satellite for as little as $5.

Players progress through a total of four steps, which finish each Sunday with a Final guaranteeing two prize packages.

Each package awards the winner the $3500 buy-in to the BetMGM Poker Championship. It will also include cash towards travel expenses, and a comped stay at the ARIA in Las Vegas during the tournament, which is part of the six-week-long ARIA Poker Classic.
