The PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) is just around the corner and starts in less than three days!

The PokerStars WCOOP is the largest tournament series held online and one of the largest poker series in the world, online and offline. In 2006, PokerStars hosted 18 events and guaranteed $10,000,000, eventually awarding over $18,500,000 in prizes.

This year, the events are bigger, and once again PokerStars is hosting more than the previous year. The NLHE Triple Shootout (last held in WCOOP 2005) returns and two new games, 5-Card Draw and Limit 2-7 Triple Draw, make their way onto the schedule, which culminates with the prestigious Main Event with a guaranteed prize pool of $5,000,000! WCOOP 2007 boasts 23 events with a combined guaranteed prize pool of $15,000,000.

So head over to PokerStars and play in some low-entry satellite tournaments or buy your seats directly for your chance at winning big bucks, bragging rights and a gold bracelet!

P.S. I’ll be updating WCOOP tourney results and related news during the events.
