CoinPoker and PokerGO have launched a new promotion offering players the chance to win a $100,000 seat at High Stakes Poker in Las Vegas.

Weekly qualification periods will run from September 6 to October 25, with eight players ultimately advancing to a final draw on October 31.

The promotion follows CoinPoker becoming presenting sponsor of PokerGO’s seven-day High Stakes Poker run, broadcast from August 25 to 31.

Players can enter the promotion by registering with the code POKERGO. Cash-game and tournament activity on CoinPoker will count towards weekly leaderboards, while additional freeroll entries can also be unlocked during the qualification period.

The player finishing top of each weekly leaderboard will progress to the October 31 draw.

Winner receives $100,000 buy-in and Las Vegas package

According to the promotion announcement, the eventual winner will receive a $100,000 buy-in to play on High Stakes Poker.

The package also includes $10,000 towards travel and spending money, accommodation on the Las Vegas Strip, a warm-up game, a private coaching session and access to the associated PokerGO broadcast experience.

CoinPoker says the winner could share the table with players and personalities including Kevin Hart, Phil Hellmuth and Tom Dwan.

No separate entry fee is being charged for the promotion, although qualification is tied to activity on CoinPoker during the weekly leaderboard periods.

The qualifiers overlap with CoinPoker’s Global Online Poker Championship, which runs until September 28 and features more than 700 events across its schedule.

High-stakes CoinPoker games continue during GOPC

The PokerGO promotion arrives during a busy period for CoinPoker’s higher-stakes games.

As Esports News UK reported earlier this week, CoinPoker’s VIP Arena has recently hosted Pot-Limit Omaha games as high as $1,000/$2,000, including a pot worth approximately $1.1 million.

Jared Bleznick and PencilArms have also returned to the tables, playing PLO at $500/$1,000 and $200/$400.

The pair were involved in similarly high-stakes sessions in August 2025, when Bleznick recorded more than $2.5 million in winnings across PLO ring games and heads-up sessions, according to figures provided by CoinPoker.

The current cash-game activity is running alongside GOPC tournament play and CoinPoker’s ongoing PokerGO sponsorship, with the new giveaway extending the partnership beyond this week’s High Stakes Poker broadcasts.
