One of the newly designed trophies given away in WCOOP 2021

The World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) at PokerStars will see its 20th edition this year and weeks of anticipation are now coming to a close, with WCOOP returning with the largest guarantee the series has ever offered.

This year's edition will take the prize pools awarded to WCOOP players over the years to over $ 1 billion , similar to the Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) earlier this year.

Additionally, we will see the introduction of newly designed WCOOP trophies for the series' winners, with two types up for grabs: one for the Main Event winners and the overall Player of the Series, and a second one for all High, Medium and Low event winners as well as the High, Medium, and Low Player of the Series champions.

Full customizable schedule for WCOOP 2021

Running from August 22 to September 15 , the series boosts a massive $ 100 million guaranteed across the 102-event schedule with Low, Medium, and High buy-in levels from only $ 5.50 all the way up to $ 25,000.

As usual, the biggest highlight will be coming in the form of the WCOOP Main Events, this time around with a total of six starting on September 12 and guaranteeing over $ 16 million in prize money alone:
