WCOOP starts today!
 

Today is event #1 of the WCOOP... good luck TP in event #1!

Is anyone else playing any of the events? I wouldnt mind railbirding the FTs but usually dont get to the FT till 1-2 AM in the morning... aleast last year anyways and this yr will be worst Im sure.

There will probably be 2000 people in this by the time it starts.

Hope to see you guys there!

2600 right now... 20 minutes before showtime.

nice $258,000 for 1st place so far lol.

There will be a tons of money made the next few weeks

That is insane. 2700+ now. I can't believe how fast people are signing up for this. This thing isn't going to over until tomorrow morning.

We're going to get to THREE THOUSAND.

you will be playing till 5 AM if you make the FT

3052 people!

306K for 1st... good luck man.

3062, actualy. How crazy is that? $1,531,000 prizepool. 324 people paid. Over $300,000 to the winner!!!

The event didnt end till 5:48 AM... 13 hrs of play! Nice 306K payday for the winner.

David Williams finished 20th in the event BTW.

soooo
 

what do you think the deal was like at final table, Think top 2 dealed? top 3? all the final table? I see it says 20k has to be left on table after deal but that still leaves alot of money to deal with.

I was wondering the same thing. Usually, when there is a deal, they say there was a deal and report the winnings accordingly. Maybe these guys actually didn't deal.... Did anyone rail the final table? 5:48 AM is a little late, even for me.

They usually dont deal till the last 3 are left or the top 4...

Im sure the people would do top 3 since everyone who finishes in the top 3 gets 100K, just a guess tho.

hey
 

TP,


what other WCOOP events are you in? I know you said you were thinking about cashing out some of your qualifiers.

For anything and everything that happens at Pokerstars, you can check out the Pokerstars blog. I don't know the link off-hand.

yep
 

correct link, dosent say much about final table yet, just the results.

Your math is a bit off.... Try almost $250k each if they did a three way split. I know I'd jump on that if I was in that position.

I haven't decided yet. I'm taking them one at a time. I'm not playing today or tomorrow, but I'll likely play in Wednesday's event.

so
 

let me get this straight? you win they send you a braclet? Is it anything like the wsop braclets?

no I mean each person is guaranteed 100K if they finished in the top 3... 114K for 3rd, 183K for 2nd and 306K for 1st.

Crappy engraving, if you ask me... but still nice.

its def. not as big of a deal as a WSOP bracelet but I would still take the crappy bracelet with 300K.
