More news from the tentative World Championship of Online Poker schedule and we could see the first ever six-figure buy-in online event.

$51,000 WCOOP winner Ben Tollerene

Yesterday we brought you news that there could be a low stakes version of the World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP).

PokerStars have also released a tentative schedule for the main WCOOP this year and it looks like we will have a record-breaking event.

Event 53 on Sunday September 18 is currently slated to be a $102,000 buy-in No Limit Hold'em Event, eight handed with one re-entry.

This would be the biggest buy-in tournament in online poker history and the first six-figure online MTT. Last year the WCOOP for the first time featured a $51,000 Super High Roller.

That event attracted 46 entries in total and was won by Ben Tollerene who scooped $616,518.34 after a three-way deal.

The tournament is not confirmed yet but PokerStars are very close to announcing the official schedule this year and it looks like the first six-figure buy-in online MTT will make the cut.
