Following on from ECOOP II, held in May this year, Circus Casino are pleased to announce the launch of ECOOP III, The European Championship of Online Poker. The finals will be played over 14 days between 24th November and 7th December 2008.
Huge guaranteed prize pools
All tournaments feature guaranteed prize pools. In total, an astonishing $4.2 million in prizes are guaranteed during the competition. This is a $750k increase on ECOOP II making it the biggest online poker pot in Europe’s history so we’re expecting massive demand.
Lots of different poker games
ECOOP is a unique set of tournaments that include events played in several popular poker variations: no-limit holdem (7 events), fixed-limit holdem, pot-limit Omaha and pot-limit Omaha hi-lo.
Of course, for all players who don't want to put up the entire buy-in, Circus Casino offers a range of satellites. You'll be able to play both Sit-N-Go and multi-table satellites to all the fourteen ECOOP III events.
