Simultaneously, PokerStars launched its $9M WCOOP Bootcamp from August 3–18, offering 137 tournaments across NLHE, PLO, mixed formats, and leaderboard prizes including Gold, Silver, and Bronze WCOOP passes.
Also in August, GGPoker kicked off its Omaholic Series (through August 11), spotlighting Omaha-focused events ranging from a $25 Mystery Bounty Mini Main with $300K GTD to a $215 Main Event boasting a $1M guarantee
Complementing these is the WSOP Online Circuit Series, featuring a slate of daily tournaments from August 7–18, including high‑guarantee 6‑Max, Mystery Bounty, High Roller, and Pot‑Limit Omaha events—culminating in a $250K‑guaranteed NLH Main Event on August 17
