“TCOOP… it’s on!” That’s about as much time as most grinders and have-a-go heroes have to say when the PokerStars Turbo Championship of Online Poker comes around. Any wasted time could mean a missed satellite or, heaven forbid, a failure to late reg for one of the 50 events that are taking place in this second ever TCOOP (but we might be able to help you there, which we’ll come to shortly).
Among the weekend winners were Paul ‘padjes’ Berende, who is enjoying a fine run of form at the moment. He’s a lively figure on the circuit and is certainly no slouch online. He’s scored more than $2.3m in online tourneys at PokerStars. His win has kept him in the running for the TCOOP Player of the Series which is currently being led by Allan ‘Yaba’ Drake.
Another character whose name at least will be known to many is high stakes cash gamer ‘patpatman’ who decided to swap $ stacks for T chips. It seemed to work out pretty well with a second place in the $320 knockout for $94,826.51.
