PokerStars WCOOP Schedule Guarantees $75 Million in September

8 min read
PokerStars WCOOP will run from Sept. 5-25.

An annual online poker series favorite returns next month as the World Championship of Online Poker at PokerStars offers 73 events from Sept. 5-25. Across the 20 days of poker tournaments, a record $75 million is guaranteed to be paid out to players.

With buy-in levels for each event offered in three tiers — low, medium and high — there are events within reach of players of any bankroll level. As always, there are multiple ways to qualify for WCOOP events for even cheaper through satellites as well as freerolls, which you can find on the client now.

“The team at PokerStars has designed the WCOOP that we would like to play and added the biggest guarantee to date,” said PokerStars’ Managing Director & Commercial Officer of Poker, Severin Rasset. “We aim to give all our players a chance to find a tournament for them. That’s why we are offering a large range of formats, buy-ins and plenty of routes to qualify. The 20-day tournament series is going to be huge for everyone and we can’t wait to see the results.”

WCOOP 2019 Highlights

Some highlights of the series include the Low and High Main Events which will run on Sunday, Sept. 22. Just $55 gets you entry into the Low Main Event, which comes with a guarantee of $1.25 million. The $5,200 High Main Event features a whopping $10 million prize pool guarantee.

For those interested in participating in charitable efforts, there's a $55 buy-in event on Sunday, Sept. 8 in which all rake collected will go toward the PokerStars' partner, "Right to Play Charity."

Another new event involves a recently formed partnership of PokerStars. The UFC® tournament will take place on Sept. 15 coming in four divisions or tiers: an $11 buy-in "bantamweight," a $109 buy-in "lightweight," a $1,050 buy-in "middleweight," and a "heavyweight" event ringing in at a $10,300 buy-in. In addition to the typical cash prizes, winners will also earn a package to UFC®244 in New York on Nov. 3 that includes hotel and travel.

Leaderboard Race

For those looking to grind high volume during the series, there's an added bonus for players who can rack up points and place in the Low, Medium and High leaderboards. An additional $50,000 is up for grabs for the top three finishers of each, with $20,000 going to the overall leaderboard winner.

There are also trophies up for grabs for each leaderboard winner as well as the overall winner. For more details on the series leaderboards, head here.
