An Even Bigger Event

The controversy over the final table event at last year’s World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) has not even begun to dull the excitement surrounding this year’s event. PokerStars.com is the largest online casino poker gambling site in the world and hosts this annual event. As the fervor for the 2008 WCOOP ramps up it seems that PokerStars is working a little harder to give everyone something to look forward to – the prize pool has double over last year’s. Online casino poker players are now competing in the event for a chance at even just a small portion of that huge prize pool.

Last year’s controversy involved one of the two winning gamblers facing disqualification for breach of contract and for breaking the contest rules. While that situation has yet to find full resolution, online casino gamblers can rest assured that PokerStars is one of the best companies in the industry and is working hard to make this year’s event better than ever.

The WCOOP is comprised of 33 different style of poker events, and it all culminates with the final table of the Main Event, which often features some of the hottest names in the land and online casino poker gambling industries. And because the entire event takes place through the internet, players enter from all over the world to compete for a share of the prize pool. Many land and online poker gamblers anticipate the internet tournaments even more than huge events like the annual Las Vegas World Series of Poker because the event does not involve travel and internet poker players from all over the world have a shot at making it to the final table.

A former winner of the WSOP Main Event, Joe Hachem, commented on why some casino poker players might prefer the WCOOP, “Prestigious tournaments such as the PokerStars.com World Championship of Online Poker are the ultimate way to improve your game and experience the excitement of big tournament play.”

The WCOOP starts on September 5, 2008 and runs until there is just one player standing- or a least a split agreement if the final two players agree.
