At 7:05 p.m. CEST, the PokerStars WCOOP-63-H: $2,100 NLHE [8-Max, Progressive KO, Freezeout, Thursday Thrill SE] will kick off Day 1 for players to take another shot at winning one of the most prestigious titles in the online poker world. The tournament features a pretty $750,000 guarantee which is certain to attract players from all over the world.
With players like Stevan "random_chu" Chew and Parker "tonkaaaa" Talbot winning their first WCOOP titles yesterday, there are still many left without one. But there are also players who had more successes this year who claimed more than one, Rinat "Zapahzamazki" Lyapin, Andras "probirs" Nemeth, Yuri "theNERDguy" Dzivielevski, Niklas "Lena900" Astedt, and David "deivid29" Tovar for example are included in that club.
When the players register, they will get 250,000 in chips at the start. The tournament features 20-minute levels throughout with a 5-minute break every hour at 55 minutes past the hour. The late registration period will remain open for the first hours and 45 minutes of the tournament in which payers can reenter three times if needed.
The players will all start with a bounty of $1,000 on their heads and when they get eliminated, 50% of their current bounty will be added to the bankroll of the player who eliminated them, and the other 50% will go on top of their own bounty.
Play will end when the players are in the money and PokerNews will be there from the start until the bubble burst so make sure to follow along.
