2018 WCOOP To Kick Off on September 2nd
Published on August 2nd, 2018 9:14 pm EST
Pokerstars is still the 800 pound gorilla of the online poker industry, despite the best efforts of sites like partypoker to cut the gap. This is no more apparent than in the 2018 WCOOP (World Championship of Online Poker), where Pokerstars is guaranteeing an astonishing $116 million in total prize money.
On top of all that, Pokerstars is also giving out six Platinum Passes over the course of the event, each of which is worth $30,000. These Passes will gain you entrance to the $25,000 Pokerstars Players No Limit Hold'em Championship (PSPC) at the 2019 PCA, as well as accommodation at the Atlantis Paradise Island Resort and travel expenses.
