Last Updated: August 16, 2024
The inaugural WCOOP Boot Camp has reached its final days, millions of dollars have been paid out across dozens of events, and thousands of players have profited from participating in the biggest poker boot camp ever held.
In addition to the numerous poker events, the WCOOP Boot Camp also offered dozens of free poker coaching sessions with BBZ Poker coaches, which gave players a chance to prepare for the tournaments better than ever before.
Now, after two weeks of action and all the free coaching, players will face the final challenges, including the massive $1,000,000 guaranteed Main Event with a $109 buyin, one that saw hundreds of players already qualify via different satellites throughout the past two weeks.
Play for Over $2 Million on Final Boot Camp Weekend
The WCOOP is almost here, and we are entering the final weekend of the Boot Camp mini-series, which means some of the most exciting events of the festival are right around the corner.
The weekend will kick off with the $11 Marathon event, which offers $30,000 in guaranteed prizes and is a great opportunity to start on a high note.
Saturday’s schedule will also include events like the $55 Mini Bounty Builder with a $100k guarantee, the $22 Saturday Eliminator with $60k in guaranteed prizes, and the $11 Saturday Survival with at least $20k in the prize pool.
The two weeks of action will culminate on Sunday the 18th, with events like $11 Early Operation ($40k guarantee), $22 Boot Camp Warm Up ($60k guarantee), and $55 Mini Bounty Builder HR ($250k guarantee) all building up to the Main Event action.
The biggest event of the mini-series will kick off at 7 p.m. The $109 Main Event welcomes players and offers at least a million dollars in prizes, to be paid out to the lucky winners on Monday. The event will play over two days.
Simultaniously, players will have a chance to play the High version of the same event with a buyin of $1,050 and $400k in guaranteed prizes. It is worth noting that the other events mentioned here also feature High versions for players with deeper bankrolls, although they are not the main focus on the WCOOP Boot Camp mini-series.

Close Race in the WCOOP Boot Camp Leaderboard
As we enter the final weekend of the WCOOP Boot Camp, a number of players are in with a chance at winning one of the top six spots on the Leaderboard that awards the WCOOP Gold Pass, while others remain in contention for the WCOOP Silver Pass and Sunday Million tickets awarded to those in the top 100 of the rankings.
The battle for the top spots is guaranteed to be stiff until the very end, and you can still get involved with a few good scores over the final weekend, regardless of your current standing.
Keep in mind that every cash in any Low buyin event of the WCOOP Boot Camp awards at least 5 points, making it into the top 10% of players awards 25 points, and winning an event outright gives you 100 points in total, which means there are plenty of points to be won in the remaining events.
If you are on the lookout for maximum value, make sure to check your standing on the WCOOP Boot Camp Leaderboard and keep accumulating those points over the next couple of days.
