In an article published last week on PokerCollectif (http://www.pokercollectif.com/Nouvelles/Les-FTOPS-XVII-debutent-demain.html) we announced that the French could unfortunately not attend the FTOPS, the large series of tournaments at Full Tilt Poker. Good news for all the French who have an account that PokerStars, you can participate in a series of tournaments designed for you, i.e. the "French Championship Of Online Poker» (FCOOP). The «French Championship of online poker» will take place from 10 to October 24 and count fifteen tournaments with entry fees ranging between 100 and 500 euros. In these tournaments, guaranteed prize pools total will be 1.5 million euros and each of the winners of these tournaments will be awarded a FCOOP like the WSOP bracelet.
When you browse on the tables, you might have the chance to play against the big names in poker such as Bertrand 'Elky' Grospellier, Vanessa Rousso or Arnaud Mattern. Proposed tournaments will be mainly Hold tournaments ' em no-limit and Pot Limit Omaha.
Both tournaments will mark this series: opening tournament which will have a prize pool guaranteed 300, 000euros for a price of only € 100 entry and Torneo Clausura with a guarantee of 500 prizepool, 000euros for an admission of 500euros.
For those who have a slightly less affluent bankroll, PokerCollectif invites you to participate in the many satellites that you can find at any time by looking in the lobby of the software.
Remember that PokerStars is liceciee by the ARJEL since last July.
