First-Ever Ontario Championship of Online Poker Begins Today
With the calendar turning over to October a new era in PokerStars events begins today with the start of the inaugural Ontario Championship of Online Poker (ONCOOP).
Beginning on June 28, players in Ontario were required to migrate their accounts to the new PokerStars Ontario platform. Now, after more than three months, they will get the chance to compete in the first online championship series.
There will be 132 events held over the next 17 days, with $2 million in guaranteed prize pools. The series will culminate in the Main Event on October 16, with buy-ins of $500 and $50.
A collection of seasoned pros and ambitious amateurs will take to the virtual felt when the series begins today at 6:05 ET. One of them will be popular Twitch streamer, Big Brother contestant, and Team PokerStars Pro Arlie “Prince Pablo” Shaban, who has earned nearly $65,000 since the platform launched three months ago.
