WCOOP at PokerStars Just Around the Corner

For the fifth time, PokerStars is gearing up for the World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP), an 18 tournament series with a guaranteed prize pool of $10 million.

The series kicks off Saturday, Sept. 16, with a $215 razz event and ends Sunday, Oct. 1, with the $2,600 no-limit hold'em championship event. This event has a guaranteed prize pool of $3 million. A complete schedule of events appears below.

Satellites for all the events are now running at PokerStar where people can get their way into the events for as little as $3.30. Plenty of free Frequent Player Points tournaments are also running. They can be found under the "WCOOP" button located under the "events" tab.

The razz tournament joins two H.O.R.S.E. tournaments as new additions. The $5,200 H.O.R.S.E tourney will be hosted by Team PokerStars member Barry Greenstein.

The winner of each event will also receive a champion's gold bracelet commemorating the win.
