It may be cold outside but things are heating up over at TigerGaming, as the flagship room on the Chico Poker Network, gets ready for its mega Winter Championship Online Poker Series (WCOPS).
The WCOPS runs from January 22 through to February 6 and has more than $2.5 million guaranteed in prizes across the festival. 153 events are scheduled across 15 days and Players of all types will be able to get in on the fun as buy-ins for events vary from $11 to $215. Both No Limit Hold'em and Omaha tournaments are scheduled with game types including PKO's, Deep Stack and reentry events.
Also, each Sunday sees a Main Event kick-off, with the biggest Main Event taking place on February 5. The marquee Main Event has a $300,000 guarantee and commands a buy-in of $109. Players can also satellite their way into the Main Events for as little as $1 and the other Main Events will also pay out no less than $200,000 per tournament.
Players with smaller bankrolls can also take part in the weekly Mini Main Events, which come with a $22 buy-in and a $50,000 prize pool.
