The inaugural WPT World Online Championships (WOC) was all the rage at partypoker the past two months with over 34,000 unique players getting into the action from July 17 to Sept. 24.
To say the WPTWOC was a success would be an understatement as the festival attracted 285,846 total entries and 34,811 unique entries to generate a festival total prize pool of a whopping $100,746,145. Five players were awarded prizes exceeding $1 million.
Dreams came true for many players at all bankroll levels. This was in no small thanks to the plethora of satellite running for each event throughout the series allowing players the opportunity at a life-changing payday for a fraction of the buy-in.
