Follow along with Lex's WCOOP adventure

The World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) 2019 kicked off yesterday, but that wasn’t the only exciting thing getting started.

Cast your mind back to May, and the Spring Championship of Online to be precise.

PokerStars Ambassador Lex Veldhuis was set a special challenge by his Twitch moderators and community which saw him open 20 unique envelopes throughout the series.

Did Lex want to play a game? Well, either way, he doesn’t really have a choice anymore.

“Just like SCOOP, at any time your moderators can decide if you should open a video,” Lex reads, proving this is completely out of his hands.

As if WCOOP needed to be any more exciting, it now is.

It’s going to be a wild ride.
