The PokerStars Turbo Championship of Online Poker (TCOOP) began Monday and will stuff 65 tournaments into just a dozen days through January 29th. There will be $15 million in prize pool guarantees, $2.5 million of which will be in the $1,000 No-Limit Hold’em Main Event on the final day of the 2017 TCOOP.
PokerStars sought out player feedback and used much of it to make tweaks to the schedule and festival format. Some of the primary schedule changes that PokerStars highlighted in a press release include:
• $27 companion tournament to the Main Event was added, featuring a $250,000 guaranteed prize pool.
• Saturday and Sunday tournaments aren’t as spread out so that times are more reasonable time. Early events will begin at 8:00am or 10:00am and the latest tournaments will start no later than 18:30pm.
• High Roller event buy-in has been increased to $3,000.
Of course, there will be a leader board for TCOOP. The prizes are as follows:
