Poker players will be excited to hear that the PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker is just days away. The WCOOP is one of the most anticipated online events in the poker tournament world and this year the site is offering up a guaranteed total prize pool of $50,000,000.

PokerStars is offering players qualifiers to the various events of the WCOOP for as low as $1, so anyone can afford to compete. The qualifiers at PokerStars vary in buy-in amount so players can find an event that suits their poker game as well as their budget.

The WCOOP will have sixty tour tournaments and with the massive guaranteed total prize money to be awarded; this will be the largest tournament series ever to take place at the online poker room. PokerStars sums the series up perfectly with this saying: “Legends of the game will be made, fortunes won, and you can be part of it.”

The WCOOP is not only popular with online poker players but pros as well. So, one can expect to see quite a few pros competing as well. The tournament series will kick off with the $215 No Limit hold’em Six Max tournament and this event will have a $1.25 million guaranteed prize pool. This event is one of the seventeen events which will offer over $1 million in guaranteed prize money. Most likely many of these events will see so many players competing that the prize pool will be increased above the guaranteed amount so players will have even more cash to win!

To qualify or to view the full schedule of events for the WCOOP, simply visit the PokerStars online poker room and look for the WCOOP banner. PokerStars makes it easy for players to sign up for qualifiers for the events as well as buy-in directly.
