CoinPoker’s Worldwide Poker Championship Pays Out $88 Million, Beating GTD – Here’s What’s Next
CoinPoker’s Global Online Poker Championship concluded on September 28th after 37 days, paying out $88.44 million against its $50,000,000 guarantee. The series drew 2,122,920 entries from 48,815 players in 172 countries across its Europe, LATAM, and Asia schedules.
The GOPC Pays 177% of Its Guarantee
The Global Online Poker Championship ran from August 23rd to September 28th, with buy-ins from $2.20 to $25,500 across three time-zone-tuned regional schedules.
Across the series:
- Prize money paid: $88.44 million, 177% of the $50,000,000 guarantee
- Tournaments: 6,231, including 2,307 events, 3,429 satellites, and 495 Day 1 flights
- Entries: 2,122,920 from 48,815 unique players
- Medals awarded: 6,012 across 2,004 medal events
- Tournament hands dealt: 18,882,507

Eight GOPC events paid out prize pools of $1,000,000 or more, all of them from three parts of the schedule: two of the Main Events, the four CoinMillion GOPC Editions, and the series’ high roller tournaments.

Four CoinMillion GOPC Editions Draw 20,892 Entries
The CoinMillion ran every Sunday in September with a $1,000,000 guarantee, and the last three editions all surpassed it.
- September 6th: 4,986 entries, won by fish2025 for $119,500
