Recently the PokerStars.com has added a total of one million dollars for the 2009 World Championship of online poker seats, which are running daily from August 4th to 6th.

According to a Poker room manager, Mike Jones “We’re calling them the WCOOP Extreme Satellites, harkening to extreme sports in the sense that we’re having a massive giveaway in the satellites,” he further went on “In every satellite, we’re going to be adding 50 to 100 seats to the prize pool. We’re throwing in literally $1 million worth of seats completely as added value, and those satellites start as low as $7.50.”

For the Extreme Satellites, players will win their way into a WCOOP tournament of a certain buy-in such as $109, $215, etc, instead of specific tournament, so that players are able to choose their desired tournament.

There WCOOP tournament also has special qualifiers running every day until the start of the series, which commences on September 5th. Just like the World Series of Poker satellites, PokerStars also has Steps tournaments which start at $7.50. The 2009 WCOOP will feature 45 events, and this is expected to be the biggest online poker series it has ever held. Read more!

“Despite the issue with the economy, we still had good growth in our business over the last year, so I think we can expect that, to some extent, at least to translate into participation,” said Jones.

The WCOOP will feature new tournaments such as, a $109 no-limit hold’em with a $1 million-guaranteed prize pool, as well as new formats, like the $215 “big ante” no-limit hold’em tournament.

There will be no mini-WCOOP with similar events with lower buy-ins, a trend PokerStars employed for its most recent Spring Championship of Online Poker.

According to a manger Alex Scott” We wanted to keep the prestige of the WCOOP intact,” “The WCOOP is the World Championship. At the same time, we’re offering cheap ways to get into these tournaments.”

The WCOOP includes faster dealing compared to last year’s series, synchronized breaks for its events, and new payout and blinds structures.
