Who are the Triple COOP contenders?
The 2014 World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) is just right around the corner at PokerStars. While many of us dream to win our first WCOOP event, a few players are doing their best to complete a "Triple COOP" by winning a WCOOP, SCOOP, and TCOOP.
So far only two players have a Triple COOP under their belts: Shawn "buck21" Buchanan and James "Andy McLEOD" Obst. However, there are a few more just one WCOOP win away from joining this duo.
The recent PokerStars blog article titled, Who are the Triple Coop contenders?, discusses in detail the players that have already won a SCOOP and TCOOP event, and are just a WCOOP win away from becoming a Triple COOP champion. Best of luck to Hungary's Peter "Belabacsi" Traply, Denmark's Simon "ministerborg" Ravnsbaek, Netherland's Paul "Padjes" Berende, Canada's "phatlat", and Brazil's "ninototoroko" on their quest to become just the third Triple COOP champion.
