The 2017 PokerStars [B}World Championship Of Online Poker started off with a bang as four multi-day events opened on Sunday and finished play on Monday. Over $4,000,000 in prize pools were handed out among the four events with massive field sizes setting the tone for the series.

WCOOP Event #1 ($215 Sunday Kickoff No Limit Hold’em) put up a $300,000 guarantee and a field of 4,034 entries combined to push the final prize pool over $800,000. ‘Carpediem200‘ walked away with the win and $115,278 first place prize.

The popular bounty format premiered on the schedule for Event #2 ($530 Six Max Progressive Bounty No Limit Hold’em) and brought in 2,943 entries. Winning almost as much in bounties as they did for first place was ‘serevsini‘, who earned $81,292 in bounties and $106,262 for taking down the WCOOP title.

Bryn Kenney was the first of poker’s superstars to make a run at a WCOOP title as he made the final table of Event #3 ($1,050 Sunday Million No Limit Hold’em). Kenney would end up finishing fourth for $109,704 with ‘KumariOy’ winning the event for $319,290.

The first non-Hold’em tournament on the schedule was Event #4 ($530 No Limit Omaha High Low) and 501 entries pushed the prize pool up to $250,500. ‘WeakyLeeks’ took down the win and claimed the top prize of $62,354.
