PokerStars has certainly been proactive in the regulated Ontario online poker market since its launch in late June. After already running two tournament series in two months, the operator is already hosting another one — and has plans for another in October.
The operator’s signature knockout series, the Bounty Builder Series (BBS), has now made its way to the Ontario market, featuring total guarantees of over CAD $1 million (equivalent to USD 760k). As the name suggests, the series is dedicated to the fan-favorite progressive knockout (PKO) format, where players win a bounty each time they knock out an opponent. Comprising 133 tournaments, it kicked off last Sunday and runs for another 16 days.
Two weeks after the series concludes, the Ontario Championship of Online Poker (ONCOOP) — the localized version of the operator’s flagship WCOOP series, held every year in the dot-com market at this time of year — will then run.
