Poker players in North America can look forward to a guaranteed $7 million worth of tournaments for PokerStars‘ inaugural NACOOP.
This event brings the thrill of the PokerStars flagship Championship Of Online Poker series to the markets in Ontario, Pennsylvania, and the combined Michigan/New Jersey market.
For the first time ever, the COOPs in these three markets are being synchronized to create the combined season of NACOOP.
Prizes and Trophies
Of the $7,000,000 in guarantees, $3,000,000 is earmarked for tournaments in the combined Michigan and New Jersey market. PACOOP will get $2,500,000. And the ONCOOP gets the remaining $1,500,000 — which comes to about 2,000,000 CAD.
The NACOOP series launches on September 15 in all three markets. The high-octane action will continue until October 2.
During this time players aren’t just competing for the huge cash prizes, there will also be a 24-karat gold-plated trophy for the winners of the NACOOP Main Events in each market.
To play the NACOOP in the US, you will need to sign up for an account with PokerStars PA, PokerStars NJ, or PokerStars MI. You will need to be located within the relevant state in order to play.
