SATELLITE QUALIFIERS

Online satellites to World Championship events are now under way, with cash qualifiers starting from just $1, and available in a variety of formats including Multi-Table Tournaments, Sit & Go’s and Steps. The $5,200 Main Event Mega Path satellites, where players can buy-in using Frequent Player Points (FPP), start at just 1 FPP.

Last year a total of 77 players qualified for the $5,200 Main Event through the Mega Path and PokerStars hopes to see a significant increase on that figure in 2015. In 2012, Russian player ‘maratik’ qualified for just 40 FPP (equivalent to less than $1) and went on to win the Main Event for $1 million.

Players can find the current crop of qualifiers by logging on to PokerStars and clicking ‘Online Events’ > ‘WCOOP’ > ‘All’.

PLAYER OF THE YEAR

Some big additional prizes are awarded to the most consistent performers across the series. The overall ‘Player of the Year’ wins a Champion’s Trophy, $20,000 cash and a 2016 Turbo Championship of Online Poker (TCOOP) Main Event ticket. Second to fifth places on the Leader Board receive cash prizes ranging from $10,000 to $2,500 plus 2016 TCOOP Main Event tickets, while sixth to tenth-place players are rewarded with 2016 TCOOP Main Event tickets. In total an extra $53,000 worth of added prizes will be awarded to the top 10 players.
