2025 WSOP Toronto Main Event
The 2025 WSOPC Toronto Main Event will be a multi-day event with the action kicking off on Apr 17 and things wrapping up on Apr 21.
The buy-in for the tournament is C$2,000 and the estimated prize pool is C$3,000,000. This is certainly a reasonable expectation, as the first event featured a prize pool of C$2.8 million.
There will be three starting flights on Apr 17, 18, and 19. Day 2 takes place on Sunday, Apr 20, and the tournament will play down to the winner on Apr 21.
Online Qualifiers Underway!
For players who want to win their way to the WSOP Toronto, online qualifiers are live and running over on GGPoker Ontario.
Buy-ins are starting as low as C$1 over on GGPoker Ontario, offering players ways to qualify for the WSOP Toronto live event for less. Players can proceed through a C$10 qualifier leading to a C$50 Mega Satellite, which will award seats to the WSOPC Toronto Main Event worth C$2000.
Freerolls are also scheduled, offering multiple entries into step qualifiers. At least ten WSOPC Toronto Main Event seats are being given away each daily.
Online set qualifiers and satellites are also available in the dot-com market over on GGPoker.
Well over 300 players qualified for the festival via these two online platforms in 2024, and with GGPoker now owning the World Series and being the official sponsor of the venue, it is safe to assume players will have even more opportunities to qualify.
Last year, at least 20% of the field were made up of players who came through the online qualifier routes. With an even bigger turnout expected this year, that number is likely to grow.
Satellites will run up until the start of the event in early April.

2024 WSOP Toronto Summary & Results
The first-ever WSOP Toronto took place March 22 – April 1, 2024 at Great Canadian Resort. The schedule consisted of eight ring-awarding events, including the C$2,000 Main Event.
By the time it was all said and done, the series saw a total of over 6,000 entries across all events, including 324 players who qualified online via GGPoker and GGPoker Ontario. This resulted in the overall prize pool in excess of C$5.5 million, which blew the original expectation of around $4 million out of the water.
The C$2,000 Main Event ended up attracting 1,600 entries and creating the prize pool of $2.8 million, which also exceeded the expectations. The interest for the tournament was very high so the number of entries would have been even bigger, but the venue’s capacity was limited.
In the end, the title went to Khaled Aljoma, who pocketed $427,191 for his efforts. A grand total of 240 players made money, with everyone taking home at least C$2,948.
