PokerStars announces Spring Championship of Online Poker

PokerStars officially announced the dates, times and events associated with the 2011 Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP). Beginning May 8th and running through May 22nd, PokerStars will host 114 events as part of SCOOP.

PokerStars continues their pattern of scheduling three different buy-in levels of the same event starting at the same time. Each event is roughly a factor of ten away from the other, so for instance $11, $109, and $1050 and so on. It gives all level of player some event they can buy-in for each tournament. You can play one or all of them, depending on your ability to multitask or bankroll.

Over $45 million is guaranteed in the stated tournaments, but last year they reached over $63 million in actual prize money so expect those numbers to grow.

The Main Event is to be held at 17:00 ET on May 22nd with a $109, $1,050, and $10,300 buy in events with $1 million, $3 million, and $5 million guarantees.

Last year's main event winner was toetagU who won the high buy-in level main event for $1,162,350.

There is also a large buy-in heads-up event on May 21st at 15:30 ET with $270, $2,600, and $25,000 buy-in versions.
