The GGPoker-powered WSOP.ca online poker site may have only just launched in Ontario, Canada, but it is already making big waves in the province. The iGaming Ontario regulated online poker room is making it possible for Ontarians to win one of three coveted gold WSOP bracelets in a trio of exciting events that act as a grand finale for this year's WSOP Online, which has seen dozens of bracelets awarded at WSOP.com in the United States and GGPoker for the international market.

WSOP.ca players' first chance to win a WSOP bracelet is in the BIG 150 Ontario MILLION$, a CAD$150 buy-in CAD$100,000 guaranteed multi-day affair. The BIG 150 Ontario MILLION$ first kicks off on October 17, and sees more than two dozen Day 1s take place before the final day's action on October 23.

Everyone sits down with 10,000 chips and plays until Level 20 finishes. Have a single chip in front of you at that stage, and you progress to the final day's action where the CAD$100,000 guaranteed prize pool is awarded, in addition to the all-important WSOP bracelet.

Players can play in as many Day 1s as they wish, but only their largest stack goes through with them if they progress more than once.

Pot-Limit Omaha lovers can get in on the action, too, with the CAD$210 PLO Bounty MILLION$, which is another CAD$100,000 guaranteed event. There are six Day 1s on offer, starting on October 18 and ending on October 23. A progressive bounty of at least CAD$50 is awarded for every opponent sent to the showers. The final day's action takes place on October 30.

A CAD$250,000 Guaranteed Freezeout Event

Last, but certainly not least, is the CAD$1,050 GGMasters Online Championship Freezeout. Unlike the other two bracelet-awarded events, this massive tournament is played as a freezeout, which means players must make their first bullet count, otherwise, it is game over! A whopping CAD$250,000 is guaranteed to be won, making this one of the largest guaranteed tournaments ever held in Ontario. Imagine taking it down for a huge top prize and being able to brag to friends and family about becoming a WSOP bracelet winner!

Ontario native and GGPoker Global Ambassador Daniel Negreanu is made up that three of his fellow Ontarians will become WSOP bracelet winners by the end of October.

"Three WSOP bracelets will be won this month by Ontario-based players, and I'm thrilled to be the one to reveal this exciting news. Poker is in a great place right now in my home province, and it's so cool that Ontarian players can play for a WSOP bracelet from home; what a way to end WSOP Online 2022!"

WSOP's Executive Director Ty Stewart has high hopes for the trio of WSOP bracelet-awarding events at WSOP.ca.

"Winning authentic WSOP gold bracelets is one big reason to play on the licensed and regulated WSOP.ca site in Ontario. We're expecting these tournaments will be some of the biggest of the year, therefore, it's a great way to celebrate a highly successful launch."

Eligible iGames conducted and managed by iGO are only available to those physically present in the Province of Ontario. WSOP.CA operates pursuant to an agreement with iGaming Ontario.
