CoinPoker GOPC Tops $30M in Payouts as Week 2 Delivers Big
The Global Online Poker Championship (GOPC) on CoinPoker is in full swing, with major scores, record fields and several flagship events already in the books.
The CoinMillion has been one of the standout highlights so far, while a steady stream of big guarantees, deep runs and six-figure prizes has kept the championship buzzing as it moves deeper into September.
But CoinPoker’s biggest online tournament series to date is far from the only reason players are paying attention.
New formats and promotions such as The One, K-Poker, the Daily Dollar and the 3-Bet Club continue to add extra value for regular grinders.
For now, however, the focus shifts back to the Global Online Poker Championship, where Week 2 delivered more big fields, major scores and impressive numbers across the schedule.

Flight Finals Deliver Big Sunday Payouts
Two major flight-fed finals also wrapped up on Sunday.
VENTAJAMINIMA won the $125 Big Weekender Final, collecting $69,635 from a $480,239 prize pool. That represented a sizeable jump from the previous week’s $383,526 pool.
Meanwhile, yapyap22 took down the $1,050 Global 8-Max Championship for $73,527, beating a 406-entry field in the two-day event.
Satellite Qualifiers Turn Small Entries Into Big Scores
Some of the most eye-catching returns of the week came from players who reached major GOPC events through low-cost satellites.
Jesucripto turned an $11 satellite seat into $12,495 for second place, representing roughly a 1,135x return on the original entry.
Danillo558 also made the most of the qualification route, turning a $530 satellite ticket into $43,005 with a third-place finish in the Gold Standard HR.

Record CoinMillion Adds Another GOPC Highlight
Another major moment came in the CoinMillion, where fish2025 won more than $119,000 after topping a record-breaking field of 4,986 entries on September 6.
The result gave CoinPoker’s recurring $1M event its biggest field to date and added another major score to the GOPC record books.
Four GOPC Main Events Still Building
And there is still plenty to come.
Four Main Events are currently building towards Day 2, with 2,319 stacks already bagged.
With millions still to be awarded and the festival continuing through September, the second half of the GOPC is well positioned to push CoinPoker beyond its $50 million overall guarantee.
