PokerStars Announces WCOOP Schedule

PokerStars has announced their schedule for the 2010 World Championship of Online Poker, a three-week long series of events in September that promises to be one of the biggest events in the online poker world this year. The WCOOP was started in 2002, and has been run every year since.

This year’s version of the WCOOP features a wide variety of events that should appeal to serious poker players of all types. Events feature buy-ins ranging from $100 to $10,000, and while Hold’em is not surprisingly the most common event, most days feature at least one non-Hold’em tournament. The series wraps up with the $5,200 No Limit Hold’em Main Event, which will begin on September 26^th and be contested over the course of two days.

The 2009 WCOOP had a total prize pool of nearly $52 million, with more than $1.7 million going to the Main Event winner, Yevgeniy Timoshenko.

More details on satellites and guaranteed prizes are expected soon. The entirety of the schedule, as provided by PokerStars, follows below.
