PokerStars 'leaks' WCOOP 2009 first look

Carter King (ckingusc): Winner of the WCOOP 2008 Main Event.

By PokerListings.com

PokerStars released a tentative schedule for the 2009 WCOOP today, but before making it official is looking for some feedback from the poker community.

With $40 million guaranteed over 42 events set for this September, it looks to be the biggest and most diverse WCOOP yet.

To make sure it meets player expectations though, PokerStars has kindly offered the chance for players to review the proposed lineup and send feedback straight to the organizers.

NL draw?!?

Not me, you? Jun 20, 2009

Yeah, NL draw is at the WSOP too - Phil Ivey won it this year. Weird game. Very psychological I believe. Think I'll stick to FL if I play at all. Does any one know if we can use step tickets for the $215 tourneys?

Not me, you? Jun 20, 2009

My bad, just realized what you're talking about after a second (and obviously more thorough) reading. I'm talking about lowball but I just saw the regular draw event too. I think you're right... wtf?!

Yes, Step 4 tickets can be used for the $215 buy-in events.
