The European Championship of Online Poker Is Back

One of the biggest European online poker championships ever was the European Championship of Online Poker, 10 days of online poker events with millions and guaranteed cash prizes.  To the delight of Poker fans everywhere, the ECOOP is back!

There will be a $3.6 million guarantee in total for the offense, which will once again cover 10 days and have a bonus of a ECOOP MVP $50,000 freeroll, with the top 100 players in each of the other events getting a free seat to compete for the extra cash.

VC Poker is sponsoring the ECOOP II and is running online qualifiers now.  Players can get in to the super satellites or feeder their way in for zero dollars, and as little as 10 player points.
