Natural8 players have two large series still open this month: the $20 million PLO Series, which ends on November 17, and the 50million GGMillion Festival, which runs from November 15 to 30. The site is also running satellites to the APT Championship in Taipei and to WSOP Paradise, and a Black Friday buy-in sale is scheduled for November 25 to 30.

Natural8's November 2026 tournament schedule features several major online poker promotions, including the $20 million-guaranteed PLO Series and the upcoming GGMillion$ Festival, which carries $50 million in total guarantees.

Players can also compete in qualifying tournaments for the APT Championship in Taipei and WSOP Paradise, while a network-wide Black Friday buy-in promotion is scheduled to run from November 25 to 30.

As a member of the GGPoker Network, Natural8 shares its tournament ecosystem and player pool with GGPoker. This means players can access the network's shared tournament offerings through the Natural8 platform.

Here is a breakdown of the November tournament schedule, including the events still running, upcoming promotions, satellite opportunities and regular weekly tournaments.

PLO Series: $20 Million in Guarantees Through November 17

The Natural8 PLO Series remains one of the month's major tournament offerings, with more than 450 Omaha tournaments and six events carrying individual guarantees of $1 million.

The festival features a combination of four-card PLO and five-card PLO competitions, alongside Mystery Bounty, progressive knockout, turbo and high-stakes tournaments. This edition also introduces Ocean KO to the Omaha schedule.

Its tournament programme includes 212 daily PLO and PLO-5 events, 20 Mystery Bounty tournaments, 16 Ocean KO competitions, five multi-flight events and three GGMillion$ PLO High Rollers.

Some of the headline tournaments have already concluded. These include the $25 PLO Ocean KO and the $215 PLO Mystery Bounty Main Event, both of which completed their final stages during the opening nine days of the series.

The $25 Ocean KO attracted 51,224 entries and generated a prize pool of $1,178,152, exceeding its advertised guarantee by $178,152.

Several major tournaments remain on the schedule:

$1,050 PLO Bounty High Roller: Its final stage begins November 16 at 18:30 UTC.
10,000GGMillion PLO: The final tournament is scheduled for November 15.
$54 Weekender PLO Bounty Special: Also scheduled for November 15.
Daily Ocean KO tournaments: These continue through November 16.

Alongside these headline competitions, players can find approximately 28 lower-stakes tournaments each day. Buy-ins start at $10, with guaranteed prize pools beginning at $10,000. The available formats include bounty, turbo, hyper, 7-Max and five-card PLO.

The final tournaments in the series are scheduled to start at 23:40 UTC on November 17. Natural8 lists its tournament schedule in Hong Kong time, which is eight hours ahead of UTC.

Players looking to enter the 10,000GGMillion PLO can qualify through a $525 satellite or take an alternative route through a satellite ladder starting at $108.

The festival also features a $200,000 leaderboard prize pool, distributed among the top 1,500 players. The leaderboard's first-place prize is a package valued at 20,000, comprising T10,000 and a 10,000GGMillion PLO ticket.

Ocean KO Makes Its Omaha Debut

Ocean KO is a progressive knockout format that introduces random bounty multipliers into tournament play.

The format originally launched on October 2, 2026, for Hold'em tournaments. The November PLO Series marks its first appearance in Omaha.

When a player is eliminated, a Bounty Wheel determines the multiplier applied to their bounty. For most players, the multiplier ranges from 0.4x to 400x.

The resulting bounty is divided into two portions. Half is awarded as cash, while the other half is added to the eliminating player's own bounty.

Ocean KO also incorporates a 14-tier progression system. Players advance through the tiers as their bounties increase, beginning at Egg and progressing to Legendary Shark.

The four highest tiers operate with narrower multiplier ranges.

The maximum 400x multiplier is exceptionally rare. Published odds place the probability at 0.002%, equivalent to approximately one occurrence in every 50,000 knockouts. Around seven in ten spins award less than the original bounty amount.

Players should understand three aspects of the format before registering:

Multipliers can be below 1x: A knockout may therefore generate a payout smaller than the displayed bounty.
The tournament winner's bounty is randomised: The final bounty awarded to the winner is also determined through a multiplier.
Tier progression is tournament-specific: Players do not carry their Ocean KO tier status from one tournament into another.

Eight PLO Ocean KO tournaments remain in the series. These competitions can be found under the PLO Series tab in the Daily Events section of the Natural8 tournament lobby. Hold'em Ocean KO tournaments appear separately as a featured format.

APT Championship Satellites: Qualify for Taipei

Natural8 is continuing to offer online qualification opportunities for the Asian Poker Tour (APT) Championship, which takes place in Taipei from November 12 to 29.

The championship's $10,000 Main Event is scheduled to begin on November 23 and comes with a $5 million guaranteed prize pool.

Through its Journey to APT Championship promotion, Natural8 is awarding Main Event seats through $600 and $1,100 Mega Satellites.

Players can also enter through a series of lower-cost qualifying tournaments. The satellite pathway starts at $12 and $20, with subsequent stages feeding into $90 and $150 qualifiers.

Natural8 has also announced additional Mega Satellite tournaments for the remainder of November. Players should consult the tournament lobby for the individual event times and registration details before entering.

WSOP Express: Qualify for WSOP Paradise

Natural8's WSOP Express qualification system provides another route to a major live poker tournament. The satellite pathway starts with tournaments carrying buy-ins as low as $0.50. Successful qualifiers can progress through the available stages towards a $30,000 Super Pass.

The package provides an entry route to the $25,000 WSOP Paradise Super Main Event in the Bahamas.

The Super Main Event is scheduled to begin on December 10 and features a $50 million guaranteed prize pool.

Black Friday Buy-In Promotion: November 25-30

Natural8 is also preparing a Black Friday tournament promotion for the final week of November. From November 25 through November 30, selected tournaments across the network will feature buy-in reductions of up to 90%.

Importantly, the advertised guaranteed prize pools will remain unchanged despite the reduced entry costs.

The complete list of eligible tournaments had not been published at the time of writing. Players should check the Natural8 tournament lobby when the promotion begins to identify the qualifying events and their revised buy-ins.
