The world’s largest poker site-PokerStars has released the schedule for 2017 World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP). This year’s series runs from 3rd September through 26th September and features bumper 81 tournaments on its schedule, including the much-awaited $5,200 Main Event with a $10 million guarantee.The 81-event series features a wide variety of interesting events in various formats, thus catering to all types of players.
The highlight of WCOOP once will be Main Event which takes place on 24th September and guarantees $10 million. The biggest change this year is the addition of a Low stakes tier, with buy-ins at around 1/20th of the High level. The Low series is meant to replace the mini-WCOOP, and guarantee more than $11 million in prizepool.
The biggest buy-ins events this year will include $25,000 Hold’em and PLO events, with the prestigious $10,300 8-Game Mix being the third biggest. Noticeably absent this year will be the $100,000 Super High Roller event from 2016 (which was a $50,000 Super High Roller event back in 2015).
While WCOOP Low events will kick off with 25,000 in chips, WCOOP High events will start with 50,000 chips. Players will be happy to know that there will be $700,000 worth of WCOOP seats to be won in PokerStars Chests. Additionally, there will also be a non-Hold’em leaderboard this year.
The WCOOP started in 2002 and has now grown into the premier online poker series in the world. The 2016 WCOOP saw 82 events award $73,504,875 in prize money, including a huge $1,517,541 prize awarded to Jonas “IIJaYJaYII” Lauck who became the 2016 WCOOP Main Event champion.
