The 2020 World Championship Of Online Poker (WCOOP) is rapidly reaching a thrilling conclusion now that the three No-Limit Hold’em Main Events have reached their final table.

All three NLHE WCOOP Main Events took place under the watchful eyes of the PokerNews Live Reporting team, who brought you and continue to bring you all the action as it happens from this trio of huge tournaments.

While the WCOOP Main Events were approaching their final tables, some massive scores were awarded.

Estaban “estebangocu Gomez took down the $215 Phased event for more than $215,000 while Kahle “ROFLshove” Burns banked $133,757. Enough of that for now, let’s check out what went down on Day 24 of the 2020 WCOOP.

Teun Mulder Leads at the WCOOP High Main Event Final Table

Dutch superstar Teun “tinnoemulder” Mulder is the man to catch when the WCOOP High Main Event final table resumes on September 22. Mulder is a phenomenal player who has won several million dollars in the live and online poker tournament worlds.

He’s guaranteed $99,997 right now but is only eight eliminations away from securing a $1,499,942 prize and the title of WCOOP Main Event champion.

Mulder won’t have everything his own way despite sitting down with a tournament-leading stack of 134,881,209 chips. The chasing pack reads like a who’s who of poker, as you’d expect from such a prestigious event.

Portugal’s Andre “PTFisherman23” Marques is hot on Mulder’s heels with 119,709,612 chips. Former EPT London champion Robin “robinho” Ylitalo of Sweden is the only other finalist with more than 100 million chips. Ylitalo has 111,085,257 chips at his disposal.

There’s a substantial gap between the top three and the rest of those at the final table. Fourth-place at the restart belongs to Andriy “Andre_Hansen” Lyubovetskiy who has 41,580,949 chips in his arsenal.

Others to look out for includes Tonio “prrrak4783” Roder and Michael “MunchenHB” Telker who won this very tournament back in 2012.

Final Table Set in the WCOOP Medium Main Event Final Table

Thailand’s “1mSoWeeeaK” may need to change their name to “1mSoStrrronG” because they look set to become the WCOOP Medium Main Event champion. Only nine players remain in the hunt for the $504,584 top prize and the Thai grinder is in pole position for that half-million dollar score.

A stack of 188,814,169 leads the event, which is a colossal stack. Only Brazilian sensation Rafael “GM_VALTER” Moraes, with 132,293,151 chips, is anywhere near that massive stack.

Moraes is guaranteed to break through the $5.8 million barrier in online poker earnings regardless of where he finishes at the final table. Third or better sees him break through $6 million!

Polish sensation Marcin “cladartyh” Pszenniak is also still in contention but he has approximately half the chips of Moraes and a third of the current leader.

Russia’s Yuri “Y.Zakharov” Zakharov and Honduras’ Oscar “owilson25” Ramirez have some work to do when play resumes but they’re talented enough to climb the chip counts and put themselves in the running for a life-changing score.

Is the WCOOP Low Main Event Title Heading to Poland?

The $55 buy-in WCOOP Low Main Event will pay $186,841 to the last player standing and it’s looking likely that massive sum will head to Poland. Why? Because “klimono” is the chip leader at the final table with 266,074,024 chips.

That colossal stack contains 86,249,564 more chips than Paulo “pvss” Silva of Brazil in second place. Two players are hanging off Silva’s coattails with stacks in excess of 125 million.

“vrodrguez1” of Mexico and Belgium’s “Tangawi26” take their seats at the final table with 137,300,742 and 129,888,876 chips respectively.

Keep an eye on Akira “Clutch Hero” Ohyama who has enough chips for sixth-place at the restart. Ohyama is arguably the most experienced player at the final table so is only a couple of key hands away from being right up their with the leaders.

Someone will win $186,841 in this event

WCOOP Day 24 Results

Day 24 saw some big names win some even bigger prizes. It didn’t matter if the tournament had a $2.20 buy-in or $10,300, the prizes were huge.

The impressive figures were helped by the trio of PLO Main Events crowning their champions.

Kahle “ROFLshove” Burns won the $1,050 PLO Main Event for $133,757, defeating Guilherme “guilherme12” Decourt heads-up for the title. Ludovic “ludovi333” Geilich narrowly missed out on another WCOOP title when he busted in third for $66,310.
The $10,300 buy-in PLO event saw Sweden’s “jedimaster82” triumph over Ola “Odd_Oddsen” Amundsgaard heads-up to scoop a gargantuan $283,368 prize. Amundsgaard reeled in $217,808 for his runner-up finish.

The Swede’s victory denied Andras “probirs” Nemeth yet another high stakes victory. Nemeth ultimate fell in fifth for a $98,911 addition to his bankroll.
