WCOOP could feature a $102,000 buy-in event
More news from the tentative World Championship of Online Poker schedule and we could see the first ever six-figure buy-in online event.
Yesterday we brought you news that there could be a low stakes version of the World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP).
PokerStars have also released a tentative schedule for the main WCOOP this year and it looks like we will have a record-breaking event.
Event 53 on Sunday September 18 is currently slated to be a $102,000 buy-in No Limit Hold'em Event, eight handed with one re-entry.
This would be the biggest buy-in tournament in online poker history and the first six-figure online MTT. Last year the WCOOP for the first time featured a $51,000 Super High Roller.
That event attracted 46 entries in total and was won by Ben Tollerene who scooped $616,518.34 after a three-way deal.
The tournament is not confirmed yet but PokerStars are very close to announcing the official schedule this year and it looks like the first six-figure buy-in online MTT will make the cut.
The $51,000 WCOOP got 46 entries last year, how many runners would this event get? Let us know in the comments.
