The World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) at PokerStars is nearing its end, with some remarkable feats already achieved. Brazilian soccer star Neymar Jr. has been among the participants, making a splash in several events.

Neymar Jr. finished 11th in the $5K 6-MAX NLHE Turbo event and was a runner-up in the $5,200 Titans event, showcasing his poker prowess. Meanwhile, players like Blaz 'Scarmak3r' Zerjav and 'B00mslang' have won multiple WCOOP events in a single day, demonstrating the high level of competition.

The WCOOP Main Events are set to kick off on Sunday, September 28. With six events featuring varying buy-in levels and poker variants, the total prizepool guarantees exceed $10 million. The highest single prize so far, $216,666, was won by Leonard 'Grozzorg' Maue in the 10K PKO #38-H event, hinting at the massive rewards up for grabs.

New players can join the action by signing up for a real money account on PokerStars' .COM and .UK regions and claiming a free $22 ticket to play in WCOOP tournaments. PokerOrg members in these markets can also secure free $22 tickets.
