Canadian poker fans, you've got reason to get excited. For the first time ever, the highly anticipated World Series of Poker (WSOP) Super Circuit is heading to Montreal. Running from August 26 through September 12, the two-week festival promises to be the largest and most significant live poker series ever held on Canadian soil. The action will unfold at the Playground Poker Club, with 18 WSOP Circuit rings and a massive guaranteed prize pool of over CAD $14,000,000.

The weekly flagship events on WPT Global continue to pull in staggering crowds, and this week's $25 Weekly Golden Bounty Championship was no exception. A massive field of 8,819 entries shattered expectations, generating a total prize pool of $200,632, offering immense value for a $25 buy-in.

Four winners crowned, with plenty of action besides on Day 31 of the 2026 World Series of Poker. Big-name winners Benny Glaser and Eelis Parssinen secured bracelets in the Poker Players Championship and $25,000 PLO/NLHE Mixed respectively. There was gold for Mexico and Ciro Gonzalez in the $1,500 Freezeout, and France as Lionel Barracano topped a 3,323-player field in the Super Seniors.
