Against an $8,000,000 guarantee, 234,409 entries across 696 tournaments produced a $10,910,898 total prize pool, clearing the guarantee by nearly $3,000,000. From the Low tier grassroots grinders to the High tier Championship events, Ontario’s poker community showed up in force and delivered one of the strongest regional performances in GG Ontario Festival history.
