WCOOP at PokerStars
Poker Stars is proud to host the World Championship of Online Poker. It is the biggest multi-table tournament series on the internet. This heralded series of events is hosted exclusively by Poker Stars.com in September each year. The series has grown faster than anyone would have expected since it started in 2002. It’s hard to believe the tournament kicked off with just 8 events. The ‘09 WCOOP was comprised of a shade under 50 tournaments! Players should also note over 50 million dollars was awarded to players in ‘09! Over one hundred countries flew their flags at the 2009 WCOOP.
Each September, you can count on the Poker Stars lobby to be filled with lucrative WCOOP Satellites. You can spend just a few dollars in trying to make it to the WCOOP event of your choice. At Poker Stars, players have the ability to qualify for WCOOP events by cashing in their FPPs (Frequent Player Points), the staple of the unrivaled Poker Stars VIP Club. Parlaying a few dollars into hundreds of thousands is a real possibility! Winners of WCOOP tournaments will also be rewarded with a precious, 14 karat gold WCOOP Bracelet.
Players are bound to find their game in the WCOOP line up. Players will battle for cash and honor in over 10 poker variations. You can enter WCOOP tournaments in Limit, No Limit Hold ‘Em, 7 CS, Razz, PLO, Pot Limit Omaha Hi/Lo, HORSE, Badugi, and more! Thousands of players enter the WCOOP Main Event. In 2009, the WCOOP ME prize pool exceeded expectations, it exceeded $10 million!
Another great feature of the WCOOP is its ability to attract amateurs and pros. Where else can you get in the head of poker legends like Dario Minieri and Hevad Khan? The skill of Team PokerStars Pro has been apparent in recent WCOOP events. Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier took down two WCOOP tournaments in 2009 to the tune of nearly $500,000. Greg Raymer bested a field of 772 to win an PLO event in 2007.
Remember, remember PokerStars in September! The WCOOP bestows upon players an unrivaled variety of buy-ins and games. Through special WCOOP Satellites, the amateur player can turn a few dollars or FPPs into serious cash. Take down tournaments and rub elbows with the likes of WSOP Champion Peter Eastage and poker icon Vanessa Rousso each September!
