The PokerStars Turbo Championship of Online Poker (TCOOP) 2013 starts tomorrow (January 17th – January 27th 2013). There are a total of 50 poker tournaments on the schedule with turbo blind levels and there is $15M in guaranteed prize pools to be won.
Last year was the inaugural PokerStars TCOOP Event and there was $10M GTD across 50 turbo tournaments. There ended up being over $19M in prize money handed out last year during the series and I expect that total to break $20M this year.
