PokerStars Announces Schedule for Third Turbo Championship of Online Poker (TCOOP)
PokerStars has announced the schedule for the third annual Turbo Championship of Online Poker (TCOOP), which will take place from Jan. 23 to Feb. 2 and guarantee $15 million across 50 events.
"TCOOP has become an unmissable online festival for me, because the speed of the tournaments means you can win five- and even six-figure sums in just a few hours," said Team PokerStars Pro Lex Veldhuis. "Plus, the wide range of games and tournament formats means there's always something different to play each day."
The keystone event of 50-tournament series is the $700 NL Hold'em Main Event on Feb. 2, which features a $2 million guaranteed prize pool and at least $300,000 for first place. Other highlights of the festival include a $2,100 NL Hold'em High Roller event (also Feb. 2) with a $1 million guaranteed prize pool, and two opening day events – $27 NL Hold'em [6-Max], $215 NL Hold'em [Knockout] – that both feature $750,000 guarantee prize pools.
As with every major PokerStars festival, there are additional prizes available for players who do consistently well during the series, with a Player of the Series Leader Board awarding the following:
- 1st: Champion's Trophy + 2015 PCA prize package worth $16,500
- 2nd: 2014 SCOOP event ticket worth $5,200
- 3rd-4th: 2014 SCOOP event ticket worth $2,100
- 5th-10th: 2014 SCOOP Main Event (Medium) ticket worth $1,050
- 11th-50th: 2014 SCOOP Main Event (Low) ticket worth $109
