WSOP, CoinPoker, and WCOOP celebrated major 2026 series finishes with diverse formats.
Big winners: Novak (WSOP), siema (GOPC), Boianovsky (WCOOP).
PokerStars WCOOP provided the most comprehensive statistical breakdown.

WSOP Online, CoinPoker GOPC and WCOOP completed major 2026 series with different formats and statistical profiles. Andrii Novak, siema and Felipe Boianovsky won flagship events, while PokerStars published the most complete final aggregate data across its WCOOP schedule.

The closing weeks of September brought three major online poker festivals to an end, with GGPoker, CoinPoker and PokerStars each completing flagship series on their respective platforms.

WSOP Online, the Global Online Poker Championship and WCOOP all produced significant championship fields and major winner payouts, but the three series were built around noticeably different formats.

GGPoker's WSOP Online centred on bracelet competition, CoinPoker used a 37-day championship schedule backed by a $50 million guarantee, while PokerStars spread WCOOP across 121 events and 350 tournaments at Low, Medium and High levels.

The available post-series data also varies considerably, with WCOOP offering the most complete final statistical breakdown.

WSOP Online Features 33 Bracelet Events

WSOP Online ran from August 16 through September 29 on GGPoker and featured 33 bracelet tournaments.

Among the largest advertised guarantees were $25 million for the $5,000 Main Event, $5 million for the Mini Main, $5 million for the Millionaire Maker and at least $10 million across the GGMillion$ High Rollers.

By the completion of Event #17, the series had already recorded 147,174 entries and $51,568,490 in prize money.

Those figures covered only the first half of the bracelet schedule and should not be treated as final totals for the full festival.

GOPC Exceeds Its $50 Million Guarantee

CoinPoker's Global Online Poker Championship ran from August 23 to September 29. The festival lasted 37 days and was promoted around a $50 million series guarantee.

CoinPoker later reported that the completed festival finished above that figure. Unlike WCOOP, the operator did not publish a single final combined total for every entry and every dollar awarded across the schedule.

The GOPC Main Event attracted 7,414 entries. "siema" won the tournament for $423,605 and finished the series with $480,542 in total winnings.

CoinPoker reported that as the highest amount earned by any player during the festival. The lower buy-in championship events drew even larger fields.

The $55 Global Main attracted 21,281 entries, with PenthousePrinz winning $57,700.

The $11 Global Mini Main produced 26,060 entries and was won by Soygeld333 for $24,040.

CoinPoker also distributed $200,000 through regional leaderboards. CoinPoker also reported several notable satellite paths.

WCOOP Publishes Complete Final Series Totals

PokerStars released the most comprehensive aggregate numbers of the three operators. WCOOP ran from September 6 to September 30 and featured 121 events spread across 350 tournaments.

The full series generated 593,189 entries and $49,054,415 in total prize pools. First-place finishers collectively earned $7,999,725.

The largest individual winner's prize was $551,632, while the smallest was $234. Thirty-six players won more than one title during the festival. No player won more than four events.

Felipe "lipe piv" Boianovsky won the $10,300 WCOOP High Main Event. The tournament drew 289 entries and created a $2,890,000 prize pool.

Alejandro "[Papo]AR" Lococo won the $1,050 Medium Main Event. The tournament recorded 2,310 entries and a $2,310,000 prize pool. Lococo earned $343,242 and captured his first WCOOP title.
