Online poker behemoth PokerStars has revealed the full schedule of its longest-running tournament series, the World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP), scheduling more events and the biggest guaranteed prize pool than any prior year.
As announced last month, the series runs at a much earlier slot this year, taking place from August 22 and spanning three weeks, with a mammoth $100 million in guaranteed prize money.
The schedule is more or less the same as last year, with the series culminating in the traditional $10 million Main Event. However, there are more events now, making it the broadest schedule in history.
A total of 102 events split into the usual three tiers—Low, Medium and High—make up a total of 306 tournaments representing an increase of 81 tournaments (36%) on last year’s schedule.
