WCOOP $55 Low Main Event Value Town

There��s a little place in the online poker world where massive prizes are available for a small outlay. We like to call this corner of the internet Value Town.

Jump aboard the PokerStars train this weekend because it��s heading straight to Value Town and taking with it a huge $1.25 million guaranteed prize pool for only a $55 ticket. Which tournament is this? WCOOP-72-L: $55 NLHE [8-Max, NLHE Main Event] is what you need to be looking at.

The $55 buy-in WCOOP Low Main Event is going to be ridiculously larger. PokerStars envisages a monster-sized field, one so big that they��ve made four days available for the tournament!

Day 1 shuffles up and deals at 7:05 p.m. CEST on September 20. Entering this tournament, which we highly suggest you do, sees you receive 25,000-chips and play to blinds starting at 50/100/12a. Those blinds increase every 20-minutes for the first 17-levels before switching to a 15-minute clock thereafter.

Play lasts for 17-levels on Day 1, or approximately six-hours when breaks are taken into consideration. Anyone with even a single chip in front of them at this stage progresses to Day 2.

Five WCOOP events you can't miss this week

24-Hour Late Registration

Late registration is open until Day 2 kicks off, giving you plenty of time to jump into the action. It��s possible to re-enter up to three times while late registration is open.

Day 2 commences at 7:05 p.m. CEST prompt on September 21 and players lock horns and butt heads until only 160 of them remain in contention for the lion��s share of the $1.25 million guaranteed prize pool.

The penultimate day��s action, on September 22, will see excitement reach fever pitch. We��ll have a clearer idea on who the champion will be at the end of Day 3 because it finishes when the nine-handed final table is reached. Like all the other days, Day 3 starts at 7:05 p.m. CEST.

September 23 at 7:05 p.m. CEST is when the nine finalists return for the last time and go all out for glory and what should be a six-figure top prize. A replay of the final table, complete with visible hole cards, will play in the client at a later date, so be careful going nuts with seven-deuce! You play could also feature on PokerStars�� WCOOP coverage on Twitch!

While $55 is quite an affordable buy-in, there are dozens of satellites feeding into the WCOOP Low Main Event. These have buy-ins of $2.20 and $5.50.

The best value of these takes place at 5:05 p.m. CEST on September 20. It is a $2.20 buy-in with 100 x $55 seats guaranteed. One hour and 10-minutes later, a $5.50 buy-in satellite with 200 seats guaranteed takes place, and one hour after that there��s an $11 buy-in satellite with 100 seats guaranteed.
