Poker Stars WCOOP Ends Tonight
  Visit Poker Stars |
With 22 of the 23 events in the books at Poker Stars, the 2007 World Championships of Online Poker is coming to end this evening with the playing of the WCOOP Main Event. This main event is No Limit Hold’em event that guarantees a prize pool of $5 Million!
When the Main Event began a total of 2,998 players registered or qualified to play in this great final event. This brought the total prize pool to an astounding $7,495,000 and the winner will take home almost $1.5 million by themselves.
The 2007 WCOOP Main Event was a $2,600 buy in event, however, many players were able to qualify for this event for much less via Poker Stars outstanding satellite tournaments which started at $8.80.
Earlier this weekend events 19-22 were finished and the results for these tournaments are listed below. I am already looking forward to the 2008 WCOOP and can’t wait to qualify for future live and online tournaments via Poker Stars satellite tournaments.

WCOOP Event #6 Winner: A Familiar Champion
| Visit Poker Stars |
Greg Raymer, better known as FossilMan, has once again reached the top of the poker mountain at Poker Stars WCOOP event #6. Fossilman triumphed in the 772 player, $320 Pot Limit Omaha rebuy event on September 18th. Raymer was credited with $168,362.40 in his Poker Stars account!
Fossilman began the final table with a dominating chip stack and held strong to take down the World Championships of Online Poker Event #6. One particularly humorous event occurred when Raymer actually lost his internet connection during the final table. Maybe Fossilman should invest in a dedicated internet line for the next WCOOP event.

Full Tilt Poker $1 Million Monthly Guarantee
|
Visit Full Tilt Poker |
I was looking through Full Tilt Poker’s web site today and found a tournament that I was not previously aware of. The $1 million monthly guaranteed tournament. This tournament is available to players who want to directly buy in for the regular $535 buy in and also to those of us with a slightly smaller bankroll for a mere $2.25 or 50 Full Tilt Points.
The monthly million guarantee is a No Limit Hold’em event as are all of the satellite tournaments leading into it. As with all of Full Tilt Poker’s satellite tournaments, players can also play in the satellite tournament challenge. Once you win your seat in the monthly million at FullTilt Poker, then for every satellite seat you win after that your account is credited the $535 buy in.
Not only is each satellite win worth $535, but the player who ends up with the most additional satellite wins for the month takes home an added $1,000 and second place gets $500 added to their Full Tilt player account.
I may start my $1 million monthly guarantee quest this month at Full Tilt Poker.
