2012 PokerStars WCOOP Starts Today
The 2012 PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker, or WCOOP, kicks off on Sunday on the virtual felts of the world’s largest site.

The very first tournament is a $215 No Limit Hold’em Six-Max event that will pony up at least $1 million. At the time of writing, over 5,000 players were registered just a few minutes after the tournament’s scheduled start time.
