Versus PokerStars WCOOP

WCOOP is going to award its player at least $70 million in more than 60 events, with buy-ins ranging from as low as $2.20 to $25,000. The main highlight of the series is the $5,200 Main Event that guarantees at least $1 million to the lucky winner and a total prize pool of $10,000 million.
During the WCOOP series, PokerStars is also handing out 7 Platinum Passes that includes a $25,000 seat in a PokerStars PCA tournament in the Bahamas in January plus travel expenses.
