Heading into the second week of WCOOP, Brazilian maestro Yuri "theNERDguy" Dzivielevski stands out as the most valuable WCOOP League pick, contributing 950 of Team AAkkari's 1,695 points. Close behind is compatriot Renan "Internett93o" Bruschi, who has accumulated 855 points for Team easywithaces, making him the second-best pick to date. Rounding out the top three is "FAL1st," who bagged their fourth WCOOP title on Thursday.

Denis "aDrENalin710" Strebkov is next on the list with 620 points from his 12th WCOOP first-place finish, proving to be Team L. Veldhuis' most significant asset. Interestingly, for Team tonkaaaa, it’s not Talbot (400 pts) leading the charge but 2024 WSOP Main Event bronze medalist Astedt, who is the only other player to surpass the 600 points mark.

Benjamin "Spraggy" Spragg has contributed 340 points, working hard to pull Team Spraggy out of the bottom ranks, but the team continues to struggle at the lower end of the standings.

FAL1st Overcomes Star-Studded FT in $1,050 FLO8

Team peace&loove
Team peace&loove

Emulating Romanovsky, "FAL1st" secured their fourth WCOOP title by outlasting a formidable field of elite players in WCOOP 33-H: $1,050 FLO8 [6-Max]. The gold medal helped solidify Sebastian Huber's Team peace&loove's position at the top of the WCOOP standings.

The tournament attracted a competitive field of 55 entries, with nine spots paid. "FAL1st" was the last player standing, earning $17,365 from the $55,000 prize pool.

The final table was packed with WCOOP league picks, with five of the six teams being represented. Bruschi's second final table appearance of the day yielded a seventh place finish while Simon "C. Darwin2" Mattsson put some much needed points on the board for Team Spraggy. Strebkov was denied a 13th WCOOP win which paved the way for the heads-up showdown between Team AAkkari's Yuri "theNERDguy" Dzivielevski and "FAL1st", which was ultimately won by the latter.

WCOOP #4 for Romanovsky Propels Team L.Veldhuis in WCOOP League

Roman Romanovskyi
Roman Romanovskyi

Roman "RomeOpro" Romanovsky completed Team L.Vedhuis' WCOOP Saturday double and seized the biggest prize of the day. The Ukrainian pro took home a massive $152,821 after reigning supreme in WCOOP 27-H: $5,200 NLHE [PKO, Thursday Thrill High Roller].

Ole "wizowizo" Schemion and Alisson "heyalisson" Piekazewicz were some notable names to make the final table, and each helped themselves to a five-figure payday.

Following the departure of "tomfoxpoker" in third place, Romanovsky and Goran "mandza17" Mandic duked it out for the massive final bounty. Mandic aimed for his first WCOOP honor, while Romanovsky pursued his fourth. In the end, Romanovsky hoovered up all the chips and joined the prestigious four-time WCOOP winners' club.

The high rollers enjoyed some extra value, as the 89 entries fell short of covering the $500,000 guarantee, resulting in a $55,000 overlay.
