Hey poker players! Due to busy times in my life right now, I myself had not had any time to get involved in the World championship of online poker (WCOOP 2009), which took place from 3. to 20. september 2009 on PokerStars, but I was wondering if any of you people played in this big online poker festival?

If that is the case, please leave some feedback in the comments about how you did it, which poker games and events you played in, what was your succes or any other experience you have had with it.
