The first event on the schedule was the Big 150 MILLION$ which featured a buy-in of $150 and a guarantee of $100,000. The poker tournament ended up attracting a total of 1,310 entries to create $180,780 in total prize pool, 80% higher than the initial guarantee.

The second event, the Omaholic Bounty MILLION$ which came with a $210 entry fee and a $100,000 guarantee drew a huge turnout as well with 651 entries. The top finishers walked away with a share of the $130,200 prize pool.

The third event, GGMasters Online Championship Freezeout, which cost $1,050 to enter and featured $$250,000 in guarantees, fell short of hitting its target with 207 entries. That created an overlay of $43,000 which provided huge value to players.

While Event #3 failed to meet its guarantee, the bracelet finale in Ontario was generally a huge success, attracting 2,168 entries and awarding $560,980 in total prize money. The schedule also included multiple side events, many of which also performed well.

2022 WSOP Online Campaign A Massive Success
