Poker Stars WCOOP Schedule Released$40 Million Guaranteed Over 45 Events |
|
The schedule for the biggest online poker tournament series of the year has been announced, and a minimum of $40 million will be won by those who participate. It’s all set to kick off in September.
PokerStars today announced the full list of events for its 2009 World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP), which will run from Sept. 3-21. The series is made up of 45 events with combined buy-ins of nearly $71,000. Fourteen of the events have guarantees of $1 million or more, with the main event guaranteeing a prize pool of at least $10 million. The poker variants represented in the schedule run the gamut, and include hold’em, Omaha, seven-card stud, razz, H.O.R.S.E., and deuce-to-seven draw, among other things. Some entirely new events on the schedule include badugi, heads-up pot-limit Omaha, and big-ante no-limit hold’em events.
The winner of last year’s WCOOP main event, Carter “ckingusc” King, pocketed $1.2 million.
Players can qualify for WCOOP events via PokerStars satellites, which will be available in a range of low-stakes buy-ins.
