The action will continue on September 4 with a $215 pot-limit OMAHA six-max tournament featuring a $500,000 guarantee and a no-limit single draw two-to-seven tournament with rebuys for the same stake. The fifth WCOOP event will be a $109 buy-in eight-game competition from eight o’clock in the evening on Friday featuring ten-minute levels and a $50,000 guarantee.
“There are hundreds of exciting tournaments all year round but nothing compares to the WCOOP,” said professional poker player Daniel Negreanu.
“It’s the ‘must play’ event of the year for any poker player. Last year, over 20,000 players came together from across the world to compete in the largest ever online poker event for their chance to become a world champion.”
The WCOOP has been one of the richest online tournament series since it was first held in 2002 and new events for 2009 include a $320 buy-in fixed-limit Badugi tournament with a $100,000 guarantee on September 8. In addition, there will also be a big ante no-limit hold’em event with $500,000 up for grabs on September 16 alongside a $530 buy-in heads-up pot limit OMAHA contest with $250,000 guaranteed on September 19.
The WCOOP will conclude with the $5,200 buy-in two-day main event on September 20 from half-past four in the afternoon and full details can be found at PokerStars.
