PokerStars announce World Championship of Online Poker events
Friday, 9 July 2010
What with all this faffing around at the Rio for the 41st WSOP we’d forgotten that you can play tournaments online, too. That is, until PokerStars reminded us by announcing the new schedule for their eighth annual World Championship of Online Poker.
Running over three weeks from September 5th, it promises to be a virtual extravaganza – it is truly the online equal to the WSOP. Last year, over $52,000,000 was awarded to players across their series of Hold ‘em, Omaha, Stud, freezeout and rebuy events. This included the whopping $1.7m awarded to Yevgeniy Timoshenko for his victory in the Main Event.
