I'm trying to use FPP to get a spot in the first event in the PokerStars WCOOP. We are at the 4th break, and the final 9 players get a free entry in the WCOOP #1 event. There are 20 people left, and I'm in 12th place. The tourney title is WCOOP FPP Round 2 Satellite to Event #01. Stop by and cheer me on! If I get a free entry, first round is on my tonight! :D

Ouch, that hurt. AQ vs JJ. I get a Q on the flop, but a J came on the turn :(

I finished in the top 9 of a round one tourney. That will be sweet if I can turn 90FPPs into some serious cash.

I've bubbled in two bids for WCOOP events now. Kind of frustrating but they were just FPPs and both times I entered on a whim.

When does the WCOOP start?

I'm in the first event, which is Sept. 4th. There are 15 events scheduled, with the final one scheduled for Sept. 18th.

In case anyone was wondering, WCOOP stands for "World Championship of Online Poker".

Question about satellites: I qualified for a round 2 tourney in the WCOOP. If I unregister (because I may not be around for round 2), would I be able to reregister before the tourney? And also, would I get FPP's back for reregistering?

Funny that I qualified on a limit stud h/l round. I don't consider myself very good at stud h/l.

If you unregister you'll get W$ that are good only at the special events that PokerStars rns. You could then use that to register for other tournies, including the one you originally gained entry to.

but, I don't think that works for FPP satellites. I'm also in the 2nd Round FPP tourney for WCOOP event #8 this Saturday, but I'm not going to be off of the plane in time for the start. I emailed support on what my options were, but didn't hear anything.

unless something has changed you keep the FPP'e earned if you unregister.
