Blockbuster WCOOP schedule announced by PokerStars

The latest online super-festival to hit players computer screens in August and September will be the World Championship of Online Poker on PokerStars, otherwise known as WCOOP.

Taking place from Sunday August 30th and lasting until September 23rd.

With 225 tournaments taking place in just over three weeks, there are low, medium and high-level buy-ins, with all the events set out in a full schedule on PokerNews. Each event of 75 has a low, medium and high entry level, with the Main Event the outstanding tournament, costing $5,200 to enter and coming with a $10 million guarantee.

As well as dozens of terrific events during the series, there is also a Player of the Series leaderboard to scale, with a massive $100,000 being paid out throughout. There’s also a return of Fast Track, a successful part of the recent Stadium Series, which saw players such as ‘Stars own Lex Veldhuis win big.
