GGPoker is bringing back its Ontario-only WSOP Online bracelet series from September 13 to October 6, led by a C$1,000 Main Event with a C$1 million guarantee.
According to Pokerfuse, this will be the fifth time since GGPoker launched in Ontario in 2022 that players in the province have had their own exclusive bracelet series. The eight events carry C$2.95 million in guarantees in total, with the other seven events ranging from C$200,000 to C$400,000 and averaging almost C$370,000 apiece. The Main Event’s C$1 million guarantee is double last year’s figure.
Winners of every bracelet event will also receive a WSOP Paradise package. The Main Event champion gets a C$42,000 Super Main package, which includes entry to the $26,000 Super Main Event at WSOP Paradise, a contest that carries a $50 million guarantee, plus a 13-night stay at Baha Mar from December 5 to December 18.
The other seven winners will get a C$7,000 WSOP Paradise Circuit package. That prize includes entry to the $2,750 Circuit Championship Mystery Bounty and four nights at Baha Mar from December 1 to December 5.
The calendar opens on September 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 September 14.
The schedule then moves to the C$1,500 Monster Stack NLH on September 20, with a C$300,000 guarantee, before the C$400 Colossus starts on September 21 with a C$400,000 guarantee, the second-largest of the series. That event also uses multiple Day 1 flights.
Later in the month, players can enter the C$600 Ultra Stack NLH on September 27, which carries a C$300,000 guarantee. The C$400 PLOSSUS follows with a C$200,000 guarantee, and The Closer NLH Bounty Turbo is set for October 4 at C$525 buy-in and C$200,000 guaranteed.
The Main Event uses a flighted, phased structure with multiple starting flights, and Day 2 is scheduled for October 5. The series then runs through October 6. Players must register under their real names, and deal-making is barred at final tables.
The Ontario run begins one day after the WSOP Super Circuit at Playground in Kahnawake, Quebec, wraps on September 12. Side events have not yet been announced, and the broader Ontario festival was expected to climb to about C$7 million to C$8 million in total guarantees once they are added.
