The World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) is returning to PokerStars for some unfinished business. The online poker operator ended up cancelling multiple tournaments on the 2022 WCOOP schedule in September due to DDoS attacks. The Main Events were among those cancelled.
PokerStars has since rescheduled the Main Events to November 6, and the operator recently announced that they will run as part of “WCOOP Take Two” which takes place from November 5 to 9.
WCOOP Take Two
WCOOP Take Two can be likened to a mini-series as it will only run for five days, but there’s nothing “mini” about the schedule and guarantees on offer as PokerStars will award a huge $28 million in guaranteed prize money across 66 events during those five days. Players can enter the series for as low as $5.50.
The site will also be running satellites throughout the series, awarding an extra $1.5 million in prizes.
Bigger Guarantees for Main Events
PokerStars has also increased the guarantees for the Main Events. Main Event – High now comes with a $7 million guarantee (up $1 million). The same goes for the Medium version which also saw its guarantee increase from $4 million to $5 million. Main Event – Low now features $300 million in guarantees, an increase of $500K.
