PokerStars recently announced a sequel to the popular World Championship of Online Poker, which was cut short in September. The site released more details and a complete schedule for the series on Thursday.
WCOOP 2022: Take 2 runs Nov. 5-9 with 66 events and total guaranteed prize pools of almost $28 million. The re-run includes all canceled events from Sept. 25. That includes the Main Events for No Limit Hold’em and Pot Limit Omaha. Those and the women’s events get underway on Nov. 6.
“We know that WCOOP is a long-awaited calendar staple for our community and due to the cancellations, we want to ensure we give our players the WCOOP experience they had hoped for but make it even bigger and better,” Stars director of online poker experience Chris Straghalis said in a news release.
“We have added millions in value through an excellent schedule of satellites giving players of all levels the chance to compete for a prestigious WCOOP title and have also increased the NLHE Main Event guarantees to give even more of a strong reason for players to get involved.”

Highlights from PokerStars’ WCOOP: Take 2
The series sequel comes after the first WCOOP saw hacking attempts. The site’s security team prevented DDoS attack attempts to breach the site’s, Stars noted, but several events were canceled.
That included the NLHE Main Events. Those tournaments now receive boosts totaling $2.5 million in guaranteed prize money. Here’s a look at those events and what players can expect:
- $109 NLHE Main Event Low – $3 million guaranteed, an increase of $500,000
- $1,050 NLHE Main Event Medium – $5 million guaranteed, an increase of $1 million
- $10,300 NLHE Main Event High – $7 million guaranteed, an increase of $1 million
Even more coming to series
PokerStars has also added $1.5 million in added value satellites as part of the series. Numerous free and low buy-in satellites are already underway.
The WCOOP: Take 2 schedule also includes a variety of new events with buy-ins from just $5.50. Here’s a look at the complete schedule.
