» WCOOP 2008
This September is shaping up to be a “staycation” – book your vacation time off work, but there’s no need to travel. You want to be by your computer for online poker’s biggest annual event, the 2008 World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP). To qualify for the world’s largest online poker series, open up your PokerStars game lobby and visit the Events > WCOOP tab for a full range of Steps, Cash and FPP satellites.
This year’s WCOOP guarantees a massive $30 million in prize money across 33 events, with the $5,200 Main Event alone guaranteeing $10 million in prize money. The excitement is building, and everyone at PokerStars, including Team PokerStars Pro members, can’t wait for the 7th year of WCOOP to start.
