PokerStars WCOOP 2009

PokerStars WCOOP 2009 is a phrase that online poker players will see everywhere over the next few weeks and that’s because the PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker 2009, which runs for almost three weeks, begins on Thursday 3 September. Last year’s PokerStars WCOOP competition was an incredible success, and included 33 different events. This year it is even bigger, having 45 different events and a total guaranteed prize pool of $40,000,000!

With 45 different events, you are sure to find at least one that you would like to get involved in. Whether you play Stud, Draw, Razz, Omaha, HORSE or virtually any other type of poker, you will find a tournament here that gives you the chance to win some very serious money by playing it well.

The World Championship of Online Poker 2009 culminates in the No Limit Hold’em Main Event, which runs over two days and begins on Sunday 20 September. This Main Event boasts a $10,000,000 guaranteed prize pool, so it is well worth taking a look at no matter how large your bank balance ambitions are.

You can either buy into the PokerStars WCOOP 2009 Main Event directly (doing so will cost you $5,200) or you can participate in satellite games and have a go at winning yourself a seat with just a few dollars. The latter option would be a lot easier on your pocket and also give you plenty of warm-up action so that you are ready to take a serious shot at the big money should you reach the Main Event.

If you already have an account with PokerStars then you can simply turn up and get involved when WCOOP 2009 starts on Thursday 3 September, 2009. However, if you don’t have a PokerStars account you will need to get one, and the sooner you do so the better because there is always a last minute rush. The good news is that if you open a PokerStars account now you can claim a bonus worth up to $600, and that could mean you have a much bigger bankroll at your disposal come September.

Whether you decide to have a go at one of the smaller events or aim for a slice of the $10,000,000 prize pot in the Main Event, the PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker 2009 could well be the tournament that changes your life forever, so be sure to let us know about it if it does!
