Yes, this is a commercial message, but a short one. The World
Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) starts today with the $100 buy-in
Heads-Up NL Hold 'em event, followed by 10 more events through the 17th.
And yes, there is a 20% deposit bonus on now! (through Aug. 10) WCOOP
details and schedule are here: http://www.pokerstars.com/wcoop.html
I had a few players ask me why we limited the entries for event #1 to 512.
Since this event is a heads-up tournament, we needed to be sure we had
total entrants that were a power of 2; otherwise, someone would unfairly
draw a bye in the first round. 2^10 made the most sense, since there was
no question that we would have 512 players. There are no entry limits on
any of the other WCOOP events.
