PokerStars Announces Turbo Championship of Online Poker

Over the last decade, PokerStars has positioned itself as the home of the most prestigious online championship poker events, such as the World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) and the slightly smaller Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP). Now, 2012 will see PokerStars unveil a third championship series – the Turbo Championship of Online Poker.

TCOOP, as the series will be known, will begin on January 19, 2012. The tournaments in the series will feature a variety of different formats and games, though the tournaments will be played at turbo and hyper-turbo level speeds, rather than the more lengthy levels found in other championship events. There will be a total of 50 tournaments, culminating with a $700 buy-in Main Event on January 29.

Most of the events in TCOOP will feature relatively low buy-ins, with some tournaments costing as little as $5.50 to enter. Here’s the full rundown of events in the TCOOP schedule, as announced on the PokerStars Blog:
