The 2020 World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) has just kicked off at PokerStars!
This year’s edition of the prestigious tournament series features over $80 million in guaranteed prize pool, making it the largest ever in the festival’s 18-year history.

WCOOP-25-H: $25,000 Super High Roller is the biggest buy-in event on the schedule which kicks off on September 6. If you cannot afford the actual entry fee, you may take a shot at a series of satellites, the details of which will be announced soon.
Just like any other major festival, the Main Event is easily the cream of the crop. The 2020 WCOOP features a total of six Main Events – three of them played in No-Limit Hold’em format, the other three dedicated to the Pot-Limit Omaha players.
The three NLHE events come in three buy-in tiers, Low ($55), Medium ($530), and High ($5,200), and will get underway on September 20. Players will compete for mouth-watering guarantees beginning at $1.25 million, all the way up to a massive $10 million!
