PartyPoker Ontario Launches Richest-Ever Ontario Poker Championships
Table Of Contents
PartyPoker has already established itself as one of the main players in the Ontario online poker market thanks, in part, some the incredible support shown by its players. PartyPoker Ontario is rewarding those players, and will likely attract thousands more, with the launch of the richest ever Ontario Poker Championships.
The inaugural Ontario Poker Championships took place last September as PartyPoker launched Canada's most populous province. It is fair to say it was a roaring success, but the latest edition is set to blow it out of the water because PartyPoker Ontario is boosting the combined guarantees north of $600,000.
All monetary figures are Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified

The latest edition of the Ontario Poker Championships takes place between January 8-24, and is available to Ontarians with PartyPoker, bwin, and BetMGM Poker accounts due to that trio of online poker sites sharing liquidity. With 105 numbered events, most featuring low, medium, and high-stakes buy-in, the 2023 Ontario Poker Championships is PartyPoker Ontario's most ambitious poker festival to date.
Buy-ins for Ontario Poker Championships events start at only $1.10 and increase to $530, with several options sandwiched between these two extremes. Satellites from a mere $0.01 are available, giving every PartyPoker Ontario player the opportunity to play in a prestigious tournament and, hopefully, give their bankrolls a significant boost.

Biggest Ever $55 Buy-in Event at PartyPoker Ontario
The festival kicks off in style with a trio of Opener events at 6:05 p.m. ET on January 8. The Openers come with buy-ins of $1.10, $5.50, and $55, and boast guarantees weighing in at $150, $1,000, and $10,000. That $10,000 guaranteed prize pool on the $55 buy-in The Opener is the largest guaranteed prize pool for a $55 buy-in tournament that PartyPoker Ontario has hosted.
Ontario's poker-loving public is invited to test their skills across a range of poker formats and variants throughout the bustling schedule. No-Limit Hold'em tournaments dominate proceedings, but there are some Pot-Limit Omaha events sprinkled in for good measure. Ontario Poker Championship grinders get to lock horns with their fellow Ontarians at six-max, progressive knockout, deepstacks, turbos, hyper-turbos, and more for three weeks, all while vying for a slice of the combined guarantees on offer.
Three Ontario Poker Championships Main Events are the crown jewels of the series. All three Main Events are played as a progressive knockout (PKO), meaning you can win plenty of cash without having to reach the in-the-money stages. Bust an opponent and win a cash prize.
As with most of the other numbered tournaments, the Main Events come with three buy-ins: $3.30, $33, and $109. Guarantees for these tournaments tip the scales at $2,000, $20,000, and $50,000, respectively. Each features several starting flights with a single re-entry permitted. You can play in as many Main Event Day 1s, but only your largest stack goes through with you should you progress to Day 2 more than once. Reach Day 2, and you lock in a min-cash from the main prize pool in addition to any bounties you accumulate along the way.
