The sixth World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) kicks off on PokerStars Friday. A total of 23 events will be played, and the poker site has put up $15 million in guaranteed prize money.

No-Limit Texas Hold'em is the dominant game, with eight events, but the WCOOP has something for all poker players. Two new games have been added to the schedule this year - 5-Card Draw and 2-7 Triple-Draw.

The interest in the WCOOP has grown year by year, and so have the prize pools. In 2002, main event winner MultiMarine of Sweden took home $65,450. Last year, pro player JC Tran won the title, and cashed out over $600,000.
