WCOOP Schedule Announced
Thursday, 19 July 2012
They’ve barely packed up the tables at the 2012 World Series of Poker, but PokerStars has continued onto the big tournament vibe and announced the dates for the World Championship of Online Poker - or WCOOP to most of us.
While we at Bluff Europe appreciate innovation, we also have the utmost respect for the adage, “if it’s not broken don’t fix it”. The WCOOP line-up has a great balance of buy-ins and events, and the 2012 schedule continues that trend almost to a tee.
The online series gets underway on 2 September with a triumvirate of events: the $215 NLHE Six-Max, a $215 No Limit Hold’em and a rather juicy looking $10,300 No Limit Hold’em High Roller. We’ve had an office whip around and are now working on grinding for the additional $10,272.54 required for that one.
The WCOOP then continues all the way through to 23 September, meaning you’ve got three weeks of online poker variance to tackle. Check out the full schedule right here:
