From $340 CAD to a million USD: CoinPoker reveals flights, satellites, and rules for The One. (credit: CoinPoker)
Right after setting records with their $50M Global Online Poker Championship (GOPC), CoinPoker is dropping another monster on the online tables. Their new annual big hitter, The One, puts up a massive $5,000,000 guaranteed prize pool with a $1,000,000 payday for the champ. 

This brand-new millionaire maker is a massive opportunity for Canadian grinders, especially with a $250 buy-in (roughly $340 CAD) and satellite routes starting from zero-dollar freerolls. Here is the full roadmap to CoinPoker’s biggest tournament ever.

26 Day 1 Flights: Prime Canadian Time Slots

CoinPoker is hosting 26 separate starting flights between 4 and 12 October. Every regular flight features 10-minute blind levels and a generous 2.5-hour late-registration window. For players across Canada, the daily schedule lands right in your afternoon and prime evening grind windows:

Daily Day 1 Flights (4–11 October)

Three flights daily with 10-minute levels and 2.5 hours of late reg:
  • Flight 1: 9:30 AM Eastern / 6:30 AM Pacific (13:30 UTC)
  • Flight 2: 12:30 PM Eastern / 9:30 AM Pacific (16:30 UTC)
  • Flight 3: 3:30 PM Eastern / 12:30 PM Pacific (19:30 UTC)

Last-Chance Turbos (12 October)

Two turbo flights with 5-minute levels running straight into Day 2:
  • Turbo 1: 8:30 AM Eastern / 5:30 AM Pacific (12:30 UTC)
  • Turbo 2: 10:00 AM Eastern / 7:00 AM Pacific (14:00 UTC)

Flight Buy-In-Back: Get Paid For Multiple Day 2 Bags

CoinPoker is rolling out a unique Flight Buy-In-Back promotion that takes the sting out of re-entry:
  • Instant $250 Refund: Every single flight where you successfully bag chips for Day 2 has its $250 buy-in refunded directly to your balance in cash.
  • Best Stack Advances: You can play as many Day 1s as you want, only your biggest qualifying stack moves on to Day 2.
  • Extra Bags Become Pure Profit: Redundant qualifying stacks convert into a cash bonus based on Day 2’s min-cash minus the $250 flight entry (paid on top of your buy-in refund).
Example: If Day 2's min-cash is $700, bagging a second time awards you that full $700 ($250 buy-in refund + $450 bonus). You literally get paid a full min-cash without having to play Day 2 twice.

Super Cheap The One Satellites & Freerolls
