Rayan Chamas Completes Rapid-Fire WCOOP Hat-Trick
Table Of Contents
Canada's Rayan "Beriuzy" Chamas became the sixth PokerStars player to win three World Championship Of Online Poker (WCOOP) titles in 2022 when he took down the $2,100 buy-in Super Tuesday for $79,450. Winning three WCOOP events in a single series is a remarkable achievement in its own right, but Chamas completed his hat-trick in only two weeks.
Chamas took a brief hiatus from the poker grind after getting married. The self-enforced break resulted in Chamas missing swathes of WSOP events at GGPoker and most of the WCOOP. However, despite only logging two weeks' worth of volume, Chamas became a 2022 WCOOP champion on three occasions.
Victory number one came in WCOOP 59-H: $2,100 NLHE Turbo, which came with $57,608 in prize money. Chamas added the WCOOP 89-H: $2,100 NLHE Turbo PKO and another $76,348. Chamas completed his rapid-fire hat-trick by triumphing in the WCOOP 99-H: $2,100 Super Tuesday.

The $2,100 edition of the Super Tuesday drew in 203 players wo created a $406,000 prize pool. The top 23 finishers shared that sum, with Gavin "gavz101" Cochrane bubbling the event. Although he later won the $530 buy-in NLHE/PLO mixed event.
Each of the nine finalists secured a score of at least $10,719. Christian "eisenhower1" Jeppsson got his hands on that prize when he fell in ninth. Jeppsson's fellow Swede and champion of the WSOP Online Main Event, Simon "C. Darwin2" Mattsson, busted in eighth for $13,769.
"Ebaaa11" and Vlad "dariepoker" Darie were the next players eliminated. They banked prizes of $17,686 and $22,718, respectively. Then came the demise of Ireland's "ArtHouse2011" in fifth, worth $29,182, and Ukraine's "ContraSpemSper0" in fourth for $37,485.
Sweden's "flerrehuve" crashed out in third for $48,151. They later went on to win the $530 NLHE 7-Max Hyper PKO event for $27,832. The Swede's exit left Julian "jutrack" Track heads-up against Chamas.
