PokerStars had been conducting an ongoing investigation into allegations about the winning account, "TheV0id", in its recent World Championship of Online Poker Main Event. Recently, Stars confirmed that TheV0id had indeed been disqualified, bumping all other finishers up one spot.
Friday marks the beginning of the 2007 PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker. Over the period between September 14 and September 30, PokerStars is guaranteeing a whopping $18,500,000 in prize money. If history is any indication, the total prize pool will end up being even more than that.
