The PokerStars.com World Championship Of Online Poker broke all kinds of records this year. Its total prize pool increased by $3 million from last year to an astounding $39,958,000. Players from 118 countries took part in 33 events and 55,758 buy-ins, and the main event alone had a prize pool of $10,925,000.
