Hours Left Before WCOOP Main Event begins

Poker News - September 20th, 2009 - Written by Glen

The World Championship of Online Poker is set to culminate today with the main event. Just like the World Series of Poker, the main event will be an enormous no limit Texas Hold 'em tournament. The buy-in is fixed at $5,200 dollars, and only three thousand seats remain.

The event is to kick off Today, September 20th, at 5PM Eastern Standard time. This gives only a few short hours until the $10,000,000 dollar prize pool gets placed on the table. The top 144 places will be paid, and the money can go anywhere. The first place winner will also take down the glory of a bracelet.

Last minute satellites are still running for players to get in the game. For as little as $22 dollars, players can have a shot to win one of several seats in the tournament. These satellites are running until the absolute last minute, and can be bought in with money or frequent player points.

The event will span two days, and the winner will walk with the largest piece of the pie. The final leg of the tournament will see the 45th bracelet handed out, and finalize the overall prizes of over $50,000,000 dollars.

The WCOOP only comes once a year, so this is a players last chance to join in on what is one of the largest online poker tournaments in history. The buy-in is steep, but satellites exist to reward solid players with a seat. The game is about to begin, meaning now is the time to sign up for PokerStars and grab their amazing 100% match to $600 dollar deposit bonus.
