Fifth WCOOP Title for "FAL1st"

Less than a week ago, "FAL1st" defeated Yuri "theNERDguy" Dzivielevski heads-up for their fourth WCOOP title and has now grabbed a fifth, with the Brazilian also at the final table.

"FAL1st" earned valuable points for WCOOP League leaders Team peace&loove, winning $19,490 after taking down Event 55-H: $1,050 2-7 Single Draw.

Former SCOOP Main Event champion Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi had to settle for second place, with only six players from a field of 51 being paid. Parker "tonkaaaa" Talbot finished just outside the money in ninth place.

WCOOP 2024

Just 18 players remain from a starting field of 251 in WCOOP 56-H: $1,050 NLHE (6-Max, PKO) and they include both Parker "tonkaaaa" Talbot and Lex "L. Veldhuis" Veldhuis who will be hunting bragging rights and important WCOOP League points when the tournament resumes later today.

Both find themselves in the top ten chip counts, with Team Spraggy also present, courtesy of Kelvin "Kelvin_FP:AR" Kerber. The winner will walk away with $21,140 with players currently guaranteed $1,538.

Chip leader "kZhh" is definitely one to watch — a former SCOOP Main Event champion, the Hungarian has won two WCOOP titles including the WCOOP $25,000 Super High Roller in 2021.

Another WCOOP, Another Title for Vieira

Joao Vieria
Joao Vieria

Joao "Naza114" Vieira has once again made WCOOP headlines by winning his 11th title. The remarkable achievement spans from his first win in 2018 and is even more mind-blowing that he had a dry spell in 2020.

Vieira’s latest triumph came in WCOOP 34-H: $2,100 NLHE [Turbo], which attracted 124 entries and created a $248,000 prize pool. Vieira edged out Ivan "ILS007" Stokes in a heads-up battle to secure the triumph and a first-place prize of $54,358.
