Online poker players in New Jersey and Nevada have double the action to look forward to in February at WSOP.com. US poker players will have the opportunity to dive into the Winter Online Championships from Feb. 5-19 with more than $1.5 million in guarantees across 47 events.

Players will find buy-ins from $20 to $1,000 in the Winter Online Championships. The $320 Main Event takes place on Feb. 19 and includes a $200,000 guarantee. The winner also earns an exclusive WSOP championship belt.
“The winter months in New Jersey don’t offer a lot to do with 20-degree weather,” New Jersey poker player Frank DiRe says. “So having an option to grind a bunch of online series this month sounds like a win to me.”
Players can look for different tournament styles such as bounty events, high rollers, and turbos. Besides the Main Event, some other highlights include:
- $30 NLHE (Event 1, Feb. 5) – $30,000 guaranteed
- $1,000 High Roller (Event 34, Feb. 16) – $75,000 guaranteed
