PokerStars Championship of Online Poker Main Event kicks off Tomorrow

Poker News - September 19th, 2009 - Written by Glen

Even though the Main Event of the World Series Of Poker may be out of reach for many players, the main event in the World Championship of Online Poker is at the fingertips of any player who cares to join - provided they have signed up with PokerStars and dropped the buy-in.

PokerStars is the world's largest online poker room, holding millions of players from across the world. Twice now they have run an entire World Championship, and twice they have provided players with an opportunity to win millions. The series will culminate in the Main Event, a $5,200 buy in main event, and will span two days beginning on September 20th. The game will be no limit Texas hold 'em, and will carry a minimum prize pool of a whopping $10,000,000 dollars. The winner of this event will walk with not only a massive cash prize, but also a gold bracelet reminiscent of the World Series it self.

Satellites are still available for the main event, giving players an opportunity to receive a $5,200 dollar buy in for as low as $200 dollars. The 45th and final event marks the end of the series, which began in early September. Over 100 countries have brought down money from this event, and it is expected that over $50 million will be the total pay outs disbursed.

PokerStars began a new promotion along with the the World Championship of Online Poker. While they once had the lowest deposit bonus of all the online poker rooms, they have boosted their bonus to a $600 dollar, 100% match. This can be received to help pay for satellites as well as the buy ins for the tournaments. PokerStars has earned their reputation of trust and commitment to their players, and the World Championship of Online Poker is a direct effigy of their excellence.
