The series kicked off on September 13 and is all about Omaha—PLO, PLO5, PLO6, Big O, and FLO8 are all on the menu.
Buy-ins are designed for every type of bankroll, starting as low as 5.5 SC and going up to 88 SC. Each day brings six tournaments, ranging from casual to more serious stakes. The Main Event will mix things up, alternating between Omaha 4, 5, and 6, and carries a 5000 SC guarantee.
The new WSOP Express path is a multi-step process, starting from micro-stakes and leading up to $2,500 super satellites.
Each week, 25 players will win $30,000 packages which cover entry to the $50 million guaranteed Super Main Event and an exclusive VIP experience at the Baha Mar Resort.
'There’s never been a better time to sign up and play at GGPoker, the world’s leading online poker operator, with daily opportunities to qualify for the last WSOP stop of the year lurking at every corner.’

From September 9 to 14, BetRivers is dishing out up to $100 in SNG tickets to football bettors, depending on how much you wager.
Place at least $50 in football bets and you are in, with rewards scaling up to $100 in tickets for those betting over $1,000.
Players will now be able to access PokerStars from Betfair.
Not sure this was on anyones bingo card for 2026.
PokerStars on FanDuel Ontario is closing out the summer by running a “centroll” series.
From September 4 through 13, players in Ontario can enter almost-free tournaments, with C$10,000 in prize money, just by putting up a single cent. The events range from turbo No-Limit Hold’em to Pot-Limit Omaha, and most of the prizes are tournament tickets, though some are cold, hard cash.
This time, Mattias Hansen of Denmark took home the top prize, with two Latvian players sharing the rest.
The game had a $200 buy-in, and the odds of hitting the jackpot are 30 in 10 million. GGPoker’s payout structure is flatter than PokerStars, with $500,000 for the winner, $300,000 for second, and $200,000 for third.
Despite the absence of games like 8-Game and H.O.R.S.E. from the September Dynasty Series schedule, these formats are still in the pipeline.
We understand that 8-Game will be the first to arrive, with others like H.O.R.S.E., Stud, and Razz also in the works.
The delay is likely due to regulatory hurdles and the complexities of launching new variants on a fresh platform.
The 16-event series pulled in 3,032 entries and generated nearly 1.5 million dollars in prize money, overshooting guarantees by almost 40 percent.
The Main Event dropped its buy-in from 2,200 to 1,700 dollars this year. That change did the trick, attracting 380 entries and building a 570,000 dollar prize pool, beating the guarantee by 14 percent.
Betfair is the first brand to join the new network, ditching iPoker and rebranding as PokerStars on Betfair. Later this year, Paddy Power and Sky Poker are set to follow.
Rumors about PokerStars scrapping its own software and moving to iPoker have swirled for years, especially after Sky Bet and PokerStars’ North American operations shifted software.
As Anuj reports, those rumors can finally be “put to bed.” The iconic PokerStars software, along with signature tournaments like Sunday Million and WCOOP, isn’t going anywhere.
“The PokerStars software, which has been live since 2001, is staying. So too are the iconic PokerStars brands and products.”
The new tournament hits the felt every Sunday at 12:05 UTC, offering a buy-in of ¥5,300 and a hefty ¥1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool. That’s about $790 to enter, with $150,000 up for grabs.
Players start with deep stacks—200 big blinds, to be precise—and face 15-minute blind intervals, making it a real test of skill and stamina. If you make it to the end, the first-place prize is ¥200,000 (around $30,000), and you’ll also bag a customized WPT trophy with your name or nickname.
The site is offering $18 million in extra value, spread across everything from $30k Super Passes for WSOP Online bracelet winners to millions more in freerolls and special events.
The WSOP Online festival is the centerpiece, with $3 million in Continental Flipouts and $1 million in Country Competition Freerolls. If you play in a WSOP event and someone from your continent wins, you’re automatically in for a $250,000 Flipout.
If you have ever thought about jetting off to Cyprus or Seoul to play poker, WPT Global is making it easier—and perhaps cheaper—than ever.
Satellites start at $1.10, feeding into main qualifiers that hand out full $2,000 packages to the WPT Prime Cyprus Championship, which includes entry, travel money, merch, and a shot at an extra $100,000 Golden Ticket.
“I will get involved in some of the legalities behind the game and try to get online poker back in the US completely. It would give some hope to the younger guys that some things are still possible.”
The BetRivers Multi-State Summer Series wrapped up last Sunday, but as Anuj reports for pokerfuse, the real headline was Daniel “DrDadPoker” Schill running circles around the field.
Schill, a member of the BetRivers Poker stream team, took down six separate Championship events, collecting six trophies and leaving everyone else in the dust.
PokerStars has revealed the schedule for the 25th WCOOP, set to run from September 6 through September 30, with 350 tournaments and a total of $40 million in guarantees.
Every winner will get a trophy, just like this year’s SCOOP.
Ireland’s Gambling Regulatory Authority is rolling out new rules and, for once, actually asking poker players what they think. As Anuj writes on pokerfuse, a public consultation is open until August 20, giving players and operators a window to weigh in on regulations that would cap online poker bets at €10 and maximum winnings at €3,000.
“If poker remains subject to these limits, the consequences could be substantial.”
These proposed limits could make anything more exciting than a micro-stakes game difficult to run, with popular tournament formats and even some cash games effectively ruled out. The new rules are part of the wider Gambling Regulation Act 2024, which also brings in fresh licensing for operators and new advertising bans.
If you’ve got something to say about the future of Irish poker, time is running out to fill out the survey.
Instead of the usual bubble drama, players just had to build their stack to 180,000 chips to lock up a Day 2 seat and a guaranteed cash. That meant no sweating over the last few eliminations, just a clear target to shoot for.
Demand was high. The event quickly blew past its original 300-player cap, ending up with 572 entries and a €274,560 prize pool.
As PokerStars ambassador David Lappin explained, the idea came straight from player feedback.
“Players said they wanted another lower buy-in on the PokerStars schedule”
So PokerStars delivered. Whether this no-bubble format catches on elsewhere remains to be seen, but it certainly found fans in Barcelona.
