The 2024 PokerStars WCOOP may have only shuffled up and dealt one day ago, but the action is already ramping up. On September 9, 13 in-play events crown their worthy champions, while another 24 new events enter the fray.
All eyes will likely be on WCOOP 09-H: $5,00 NLHE Bounty Builder Super High Roller at 5:30 p.m. BST. This $350,000 guaranteed high-stakes event will draw in some of the best online poker players on the planet, many of whom are competing in the WCOOP League. The 2024 WCOOP is less than 48 hours old, but it is already making a big stir in the poker community.
Only five events concluded on Day 1 of the 2024 PokerStars WCOOP, with 13 others progressing to their respective Day 2s. One of the completed events, WCOOP 02-M: $55 NLHE WCOOP Kickoff, awarded the largest prize of the opening day.
A bumper crowd of 4,256 players created a $226,300 prize pool, and "Sintoras" helped themselves to the lion's share of that pot. Their latest in a long line of victories came with a $32,247 payout, gifting "Sintoras" plenty of ammunition for the upcoming WCOOP events.
