World Championship for Online Poker a real success

The World Championship for Online Poker has been a real success this year for the Poker Stars and Legends. To take this weekend as an example, there were not less than four tournaments held between Friday and Sunday. All tournaments were big payouts for the winners. We are talking about a $1000+$50 buy-in-no-limit prize pool event, and it was 2 ½ times bigger than the promised $1Million; this was the second biggest prize in the history of Poker Stars, something to remember.
This was also the first time that the World Championship held an H.O.R.S.E. event. There was a lot of enthusiasm for this event after Chip Reese won the bracelet together with the $1 716 000 prize. Poker Stars was not sure that the event would stir the interest of the players, as there is was only $100 000 prize pool guaranteed. What a big surprise then to see 1798 players turning up thus the prize pool was risen to $359 000! The biggest event of the weekend however drew in 2458 players which built the second largest prize ever seen on Poker stars. First place took home $442 440 and a 14 Karat Gold WCOOP bracelet.
