€14.5 Million in Guaranteed Prizes and Special Edition Sunday Millions in PokerStars SECOOP and ICOOP
Wherever you are in the world, the magic of the internet means that you can get the chance to win life-changing amounts of money playing online poker and, where megabucks tournaments are concerned, look no further than PokerStars for a shot at glory.
This year’s PokerStars Southern European Championship of Online Poker (SECOOP) and Italian Championship of Online Poker (ICOOP) will pay out over €14.5 million in total prize money. Held from October 30 to November 20, the SECOOP and ICOOP will award over €9 million and €5.5 million in guarantees respectively. Chris Straghalis, Director of Online Poker Experience for PokerStars: “As with our WCOOP 2022: Take 2 events, we wanted to ensure our Southern European and Italian community also have the chance to take to the tables and play for a coveted title.”
Special Edition Sunday Million
Following the cancellation of the Galactic Series Main Events, PokerStars has opted to add special edition Sunday Million tournaments on November 6, each guaranteeing €1 million prize pools.
As usual, all bankroll types are catered for, so as well as being able to simply buy in directly for €250, it’s possible to win a seat at bargain basement prices thanks to a comprehensive qualifying set-up for that includes special SECOOP Spin & Go’s or satellites from just €3. In fact, there’s €147,000 in added value satellites scheduled in SECOOP and €165,000 in ICOOP, making the prestigious Sunday Million accessible to recreational players and seasoned veterans alike. “The Sunday Million is one of our most prestigious tournaments and due to the Galactic Series cancellations, we’ve added thousands in added value satellites to give players plenty of ways to enjoy the Sunday Million and the SECOOP and ICOOP series” said Chris Straghalis.
Don’t Miss Out
The SECOOP and ICOOP schedules offer up a feast of juicy tournaments, with a €50,000 GTD event being held every day of the SECOOP series, for example. Each series will culminate with Main Events on November 20, with €400,000 GTD in Southern Europe and €150,000 GTD in Italy.
Other Routes to Poker Glory
Covering all bases, PokerStars have made available other ways for those in France, Spain and Portugal to get their hands on series event seats, via ‘second chance’ Freerolls and deposit offers.
