Best Online Poker Tournaments in Canada

Online Poker Tournaments This Week: Monday, August 17 to Sunday, August 23, 2026

This week’s picks come from PokerHub Canada’s reviewed online poker sites available to Canadian players. The strongest opportunities include a $12 million guaranteed Mystery Bounty Venom, affordable MicroMillions events and the opening of CoinPoker’s $50 million guaranteed Global Online Poker Championship.

The five report periods are:

• August 17–23, 2026
• August 24–30, 2026
• August 31–September 6, 2026
• September 7–13, 2026
• September 14–20, 2026

The Quick Pick

Americas Cardroom’s $12 Million GTD NLH Mystery Bounty Venom is the standout this week and the largest confirmed single-tournament guarantee. PokerStars MicroMillions offers the best low-cost access, while CoinPoker’s $50 Million GTD Global Online Poker Championship starts August 23 and leads the series category.

This Week’s Top Tournaments

Best overall tournament: Americas Cardroom $12 Million GTD NLH Mystery Bounty Venom

Biggest guaranteed prize pool: Americas Cardroom NLH Mystery Bounty Venom — $12 million

Best low-buy-in tournament: PokerStars MicroMillions — events from $1.10

Best satellite: Americas Cardroom 25th Anniversary Tournament qualifiers from $1.05

Best tournament series: CoinPoker Global Online Poker Championship

Best smaller-bankroll option: PokerStars $11 Sunday Storm PKO — $75,000 GTD

Weekly Tournament Schedule

The WSOP Online Gladiators buy-in applies to the multi-flight tournament, with remaining players returning for Day 2. CoinPoker’s $50 million guarantee covers the full 37-day GOPC series rather than a single opening-day event.

Best Overall Tournament

The Americas Cardroom $12 Million GTD NLH Mystery Bounty Venom is the strongest overall tournament this week.

Its $2,650 buy-in is substantial, but the tournament combines a $12 million single-event guarantee, three starting flights during the report week, a $500,000 top mystery bounty, a $5,000 minimum mystery bounty and multiple satellite routes.

Players can also combine qualifying Day 1 stacks. The tournament reaches Day 2 on August 31.

The PLO Mystery Bounty Venom follows the same schedule with a $3 million guarantee and a $250,000 top mystery bounty.

Biggest Guaranteed Prize Pool

The largest confirmed single-tournament guarantee this week is the $12 million NLH Mystery Bounty Venom at Americas Cardroom.

The figures should be kept separate:

• NLH Venom: $12 million single-event guarantee
• PLO Venom: $3 million single-event guarantee
• Dual Venom promotion: $15 million combined
• CoinPoker GOPC: $50 million across the full series

ACR therefore leads the single-tournament category, while CoinPoker has the larger festival-wide guarantee.

Best Low-Buy-In Tournament

PokerStars MicroMillions is the strongest low-buy-in option in the research.

The series runs from August 16–31 with more than $2 million guaranteed. Buy-ins range from $1.10 to $22.

The strongest confirmed Sunday options are:

• $11 Sunday Storm PKO — $75,000 GTD
• $22 Sunday High Roller — $75,000 GTD
• Main Event satellites from $2.20

The series concludes August 30 with a $22 PKO Main Event carrying a $250,000 guarantee.

Best Satellite

Americas Cardroom’s qualifiers for the $2.5 Million GTD 25th Anniversary Tournament provide the strongest documented satellite route.

The two-step structure starts with a $1.05 Super Satellite. The top 25 advance to an $11 Mega Satellite, where 25 seats are guaranteed into a $250 Saturday Day 1 flight.

Qualifiers run Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The target tournament uses a cumulative-stack format, allowing successful players to add later qualifying stacks to their Day 2 total.

Repeated satellite attempts can eventually cost more than buying the target entry directly, so players should set a maximum qualification budget in advance.

Best Tournament Series

The CoinPoker Global Online Poker Championship is the strongest new series launch in the report period.

The GOPC runs from August 23 to September 28 and includes:

• $50 million in series-wide guarantees
• Buy-ins from $2.20 to $25,500
• Europe, Asia and Latin America schedules
• $530 Main Event — $3 million GTD
• $55 Global Main — $1 million GTD
• $11 Global Mini Main — $250,000 GTD
• Four $215 CoinMillion events — $1 million GTD each
• Weekly tournaments at $11, $55 and $125
• More than $200,000 in regional leaderboard prizes
