Poker Stars Women Get Extra WCOOP Treatment

Last Updated on


The Poker Stars World Championship of Online Poker is coming up, and in keeping with the continuing effort of PokerStars to appeal to its growing numbers of women at the online poker tables (and to attract even more), they’re holding a special WCOOP 2011 promotion for ladies only.

Here’s how it works. All women who reach a final table at either a Women’s Sunday event or a Women’s Poker League event will automatically win a free seat in a WCOOP Step Satellite.

Women’s Poker League events take place twice daily with a $0.10 buy-in and twice daily with a $1.10 buy-in. The final table players at each of these will earn themselves a $7.50 WCOOP Step 1 Satellite tournament ticket regardless of how they fare at the final table from that point onward. The Women’s Sunday event takes place every Sunday and offers its final tablers a $27 WCOOP Step 2 satellite tournament ticket.

In addition, once the 2011 PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker comes and goes, the woman who finishes highest on the WCOOP Player of the Series Leaderboard will be named Woman of the Series and win a $3,500 2012 PCA Women’s prize package that, just like it sounds, includes free entry into the 2012 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Women’s event.

The 2011 WCOOP takes place from September 4 – 26 and spanning the 22 days includes 62 poker tournament events with a combined guaranteed prize pool of over $30 million.

All unused Step Ticket prizes from this promotion will expire on September 25.
