The WCOOP is a series of online poker tournaments, staged at Poker Stars.

It is widely regarded as the best of all online poker series. Part of the reason for this is that it is held just once a year, and part is because of the large guaranteed prizepools, and deepstack structure of all events. Skillful poker players should revel in this series. Some events last 15-20 hours, so it is far from the usual online donkfest. Highly recommended if you know what you are doing.

WCOOP stands for World Championship of Online Poker

Jason Strasser plays on Poker Stars under the alia Strassa2. He won a WCOOP event in 2006 for a cool $400K. He was also seen chip leading the 2006 WSOP Main event in the latter stages.

It is a six day event which takes place in January 2007 and will have a multi million dollar prize pool on offer in the $10,000 buy-in Main Event.
