Despite the loss of the entire US Market after Black Friday, PokerStars has managed to remain the top dog in the world of online poker, and with their main rival, Full Tilt Poker, now sitting on the sidelines, PokerStars has almost put the traffic loss from Black Friday behind them; evidenced by their massive $30 million guaranteed World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) schedule, which was finalized on Wednesday.

A total of 62 events will take place over 23 days, culminating in the WCOOP Main Event, a $5,200 NLHE tournament with a $5 million guaranteed prize-pool with 20% going to the winner! Other WCOOP tournaments will range in buy-in from $109 up to the $10,300 High-Roller tournament.

Here is a look at the complete 62-event schedule:
