The World Championship of Online Poker is well underway with 24 of its 33 events already decided.  Players from all over the world have come together online bringing the total of countries represented to 113, of which 77 have had players that cashed.  So far PokerStars has doled out $22,671,000 of the guaranteed $30 million in prize money.

                So where are the winners coming from?  There’s a reason that poker rooms are so concerned about having a strong base of U.S. player traffic.  Players from the U.S. have won 16 of the 24 events so far with Noway, Sweden and Canada claiming 2 victories, and the U.K. and Australia have both had a player win an event.

                Below is the latest update on who’s won, the pay out, the prize pool and more.
