The World Championship of Online Poker expands to 185 tournaments with three newly added High Roller tournaments with a combined guarantee of $3 million.
With over 60 events and a total of 182 tournaments, PokerStars’ marquee event of the year—the World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP)—returns once again for the seventeenth edition, and this time the operator promises to award more than $70 million over two weeks, making it the biggest online poker series ever.
The prestigious online series kicked off on Sunday with a bang as over $7.5 million was paid out on the first day alone. This is because for the first time WCOOP is featuring a three-tiered buy-in level (High, Medium, and Low) for nearly all the events, meaning there are tournaments for all kinds of players including the low-stakes players.
