As if any poker player, new or experienced needed any reason to join PokerStars, a huge one comes along in the shape of the Annual World Championship of Online Poker 2013. It cannot be stressed just how big this series is. It literally offers prize pools rivaled only by the World Series of Poker. This year PokerStars is guaranteeing a total series prize pool of $40million, with the main event paying $1.5 Million Dollars to the winner alone. This may sound somewhat ridiculous for an online poker tournament, but believe me the winner has earned it. Anyone that has played a moderately sized poker tournament from start to the final table will know they are waving goodbye to at least five hours.
The poor sod who wins the main event will have played two grueling day long sessions as it is split over 2 days. PokerStars really does go to town with their tournament selection in general, but the WCOOP sees them hosting 65 events over a three week period. PokerStars has managed to make this the premium online poker festival globally. The tournaments are played over most variations of Poker, but are predominantly No Limit Texas Holdem. Winning a WCOOP event is so revered that PokerStars actually give winners WCOOP bracelets. If you are a veteran from another site, now is the time to join PokerStars and prove yourself, and pay the mortgage off at the same time.
Although the buyin’s start at $215, there are numerous satellite options to gain entry. The most efficient route for the Sit ‘n’ Go player is to play the Step tournaments. Step 1 costs a mere $7, if you can win 3 rounds, you reach step 4, the step 4 tickets are worth $215 and can be used to enter any $215 WCOOP event. So entry doesn’t have to break the bank. If you don’t already play at PokerStars, why not take advantage of Tru Grinderz 100% Sign Up Bonus, this will give you a 100% matched bonus of up to $600.
