CoinPoker Announces The One: $5M GTD and $1M for the Champion

CoinPoker is strengthening its position in the online poker market with a mix of major tournament series, high-value promotions, and a growing presence at the highest stakes. This combination offers players with different bankrolls plenty of action and added value beyond the regular tournament schedule.

Recent highlights include the launch of the brand-new K-Poker, the Daily Dollar, the 3-Bet Club, and the ongoing Global Online Poker Championship.

Beyond the virtual tables, CoinPoker is becoming more visible. Partnerships with the Triton Poker Tour and the Battle of Malta have expanded its live poker presence, while a collaboration with PokerGO connects the room with high-quality high-stakes content and giveaways worth over $100,000.

But that's not all. CoinPoker has teased further major announcements and attractive promotions. One of these could become the new flagship of its entire tournament offering.

$5M GTD and $1M for the Winner

CoinPoker is preparing its biggest tournament yet. The One starts on October 4, 2026, with a guaranteed prize pool of $5 million and a guaranteed $1 million for first place, with a direct buy-in of $250.

This new flagship event sets two CoinPoker records: the largest tournament guarantee and the highest guaranteed first-place prize in the platform's history.

26 Flights for The One

The One uses a multi-flight structure, giving players from different regions numerous opportunities to qualify.

A total of 26 Day 1 flights run from October 4 to 12. On most days, three starting times are planned to cover the main time zones.

Additional turbo flights are scheduled for October 12, before Day 2 begins later that day.

Players who qualify multiple times will take their largest Day 1 stack into Day 2. Multiple qualified stacks are not combined.

More details on exact starting times and the full qualification schedule will be released closer to the start.

$1M for the Winner Plus Unique Trophy

The most prominent number is hard to miss: $1,000,000 is guaranteed for first place.

The champion will also receive a unique engraved physical trophy, permanently commemorating the victory in the first edition of CoinPoker's The One.

Additionally, a digital version will automatically appear in the winner's Trophy Cabinet, where significant achievements are publicly displayed on the CoinPoker Career Page.

Freerolls and Satellites Open the Door

The direct buy-in of $250 will not be the only way to enter The One.

CoinPoker plans several qualification paths:

• Freerolls
• Step Satellites
• Direct Satellites
• Multiple routes into Day 1 flights

The final satellite structure has not yet been released. More details are expected in time before the start on October 4.

This could make The One particularly attractive for players with smaller bankrolls. A cheap or even free qualifier could ultimately lead to a tournament where $1 million awaits the champion.

With a $5M guarantee, 26 starting flights, a seven-figure top prize, and multiple qualification routes, The One has all the ingredients to become one of CoinPoker's biggest annual highlights.

GOPC Keeps the $50M Action Going

The countdown to The One is on, while CoinPoker's Global Online Poker Championship continues in full swing.

The GOPC runs until September 28, offering $50 million in guarantees across more than 700 medal events.

Several major tournaments are still ahead:

• CoinMillion: $1M GTD, $215 buy-in, Day 1 on September 13
• Big Weekender: $125 buy-in and $200,000 GTD
• $55 Global Main: Daily flights run until September 19
• $11 Global Mini Main: Daily qualifiers also until September 19

While the GOPC continues to deliver big guarantees and The One approaches, tournament grinders on CoinPoker will have little rest well into October.
