CoinPoker World Poker Masters Series: $25M GTD festival starts May 3

CoinPoker is set to launch one of its biggest online festival offerings of the year, as the World Poker Masters Series runs from May 3 to June 1, 2026 with a combined $25 million guaranteed prize pool.

The series is built around a packed schedule that mixes major headline events with a large supporting program. In total, players can expect 59 Trophy Events and close to 600 side tournaments, covering both No-Limit Hold’em and Omaha in a variety of formats, including PKO, Deepstack, Turbo, Hyper Turbo, and 6-Max.

One of the most notable aspects of the festival is its broad buy-in range. Entry starts at $1.10, while the top end reaches $25,500, making the series accessible to recreational players while still offering a strong high-stakes presence. Most events on the schedule fall into the $22 to $109 range.

The centerpiece of the festival is the $530 World Poker Masters Main Event, which carries a $2.5 million guarantee. Day 2 is scheduled for June 1 at 17:30 UTC, while the opening flights will take place across five Sundays during the series.

CoinPoker is using a structure in which only a player’s largest surviving stack moves on to the final stage, adding an extra strategic element for those planning multiple entries.

The festival also includes a $55 Mini Main with a $500,000 guarantee, offering a lower-cost route into one of the biggest events on the schedule.

Unlike many online series where Omaha plays a secondary role, the World Poker Masters gives it daily visibility. Every day includes at least one Omaha event, ensuring that four-card players are not left on the sidelines.

The biggest Omaha tournament of the series is WPM #29H: $530 PLO Championship, which comes with a $150,000 guarantee. That event is set for May 31 at 19:05 UTC.

The Trophy Event lineup features several major highlights beyond the Main Event. Among them are:

• $215 The Opener with $300,000 GTD
• $530 6-Max Championship with $250,000 GTD
• $215 CoinMillion with $1 million GTD
• $25,500 Super High Roller with $1 million GTD
• $5,200 High Roller with $1 million GTD
• $530 PKO Championship with $200,000 GTD
• $530 Turbo Championship with $150,000 GTD
• $530 The Closer with $250,000 GTD

The schedule mixes freezeouts, bounty events, 6-Max formats, marathon structures, and two-day tournaments, giving the series a good variety from start to finish.

Running in parallel with the festival, CoinMasters Gold Weeks & High Roller will take place from May 10 to May 25.

This side promotion features two especially prominent tournaments. The first is the $150 Bitcoin Gold Coin event, which runs daily except Fridays and offers guarantees ranging from $100,000 to $250,000. Each winner will also receive a gold coin.

The second is the $1,500 CoinMasters BTC High Roller, a tournament with a $1 million guarantee. It will feature starting flights on May 10, 17, and 24, with Day 2 on May 25 at 17:30 UTC.

Players looking to qualify more cheaply will have an early chance to do so, as the Warm Up Stage satellite program is scheduled for April 26 to May 2.

All World Poker Masters tournaments and satellites will be available in a dedicated tab inside the CoinPoker client, making navigation easier during the series.

The festival also includes a substantial leaderboard component, with a total of $500,000 allocated across weekly and overall races.

The Weekly WPM Leaderboards account for $425,000 of that total and are divided into two categories:

• High leaderboard: buy-ins from $109 to $530
• Low leaderboard: buy-ins from $15 to $88

For the first three weeks, weekly prizes reach $75,000 in the High tier and $25,000 in the Low tier. In the final week, payouts increase to $93,750 and $31,250 respectively.

On top of that, the Champions Leaderboard awards $75,000 to the best five performers across the full series. The winner will collect $30,000, with the remaining prizes split as follows:

• 2nd: $18,000
• 3rd: $12,000
• 4th: $8,500
• 5th: $6,500

Leaderboard points are calculated using a formula that takes into account field size, buy-in level, and finishing position, while only tournaments with buy-ins between $15 and $530 count toward the rankings.

With its $25 million guarantee, large number of Trophy Events, daily Omaha action, and added value through leaderboards and satellites, the World Poker Masters Series looks designed to appeal to a wide part of the CoinPoker player pool.

From micro-stakes events to seven-figure high rollers, the series covers a broad range of formats and bankroll levels. For players planning a long online grind in May, this is clearly one of the major festival options on the calendar.
