With a massive 1,697 entries all putting up the $5,200 buy-in, the PokerStars WCOOP Main Event had a fantastic turn-out on Sunday night. A ‘Sunday Major’ it may have been in all but name to the many players taking it on, but the WCOOP Main Event is a historic event.

PokerStars have done a great job this series of bringing the action to fans too, with some commentary from legendary duo James Hartigan and Joe ‘Stapes’ Stapleton and some fun clips of the highlights throughout the World Championship of Online Poker.

With just 579 of the 1,697 entries making Day 2 – still short of the money – the event was taking place in an 8-Max format, and saw ten re-entries too. There could still be a lot more people playing on Day 2, with re-entry or registration taken up until five minutes before the cards go into the air.
