Global Poker x PokerNews Cup Champ Ryan Smoot Wins GOAT VI Main Event
Table Of Contents
The Global Poker GOAT VI Main Event had a familiar champion in the Sweeps Coins (SC) tournament. A name Global Poker players are certainly becoming familiar with — Ryan "MrGoldenPair" Smoot.
You might be thinking to yourself, didn't this same player just win a major event on the social poker site just weeks ago? And your instinct would be correct. Smoot took down the Global Poker x PokerNews Cup last month for SC 30,000, and he's done it again as the GOAT VI series, which began July 15, has come to an end.
PokerNews ambassador and streamer Kyle Anderson wrapped up a huge series. He didn't win any titles but took third place in four separate events.
"MrGoldenPair" Wins Again
The Global Poker GOAT VI series featured two Main Events, one for the Gold Coins (GC) players and the other for the Sweeps Coins players. On the GC side, 238 players entered the GC 99,000 no-limit hold'em tournament, and it was "GavinBS" who was the last player standing. The winner received GC 8,922,960, the largest prize out of the GC 40,000,000 guaranteed prize pool.

Over in the Sweeps Coins Main Event, which had 1,127 entrants, Smoot and "BSoxfan23" went heads-up for the title on Sunday, and it was the former coming out on top.
"MrGoldenPair," the Global Poker x PokerNews Cup champion won his second big event of the summer on Global Poker, this one good for SC 33,900. As a consolation prize, the runner-up received SC 25,000. "Jaybangs" finished in third place for SC 19,800, while "New2Game" didn't play like someone who is new to the game, and earned SC 13,600 for fourth place in the SC 200,000 guaranteed tournament.

That's a Wrap
The sixth edition of the Global Poker GOAT series came to a conclusion on Monday. It was a successful series for the social poker site, which saw some skilled pros take down events, including Smoot and World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner Ryan Laplante.
Laplante, a longtime pro and Learn Pro Poker coach and founder, took down Event #22, an SC 33 tournament for SC 3,096, winning his second Global Poker trophy.
On Sunday, eight final winners were crowned — four GC and four SC — which put a wrap to the three-week online poker series.
