It was an action-packed night at the World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP), with 22 new champions crowned and several familiar faces reclaiming their spots in the winner's circle.

For the first time since 2020, high-stakes phenom Adrian "Amadi_017" Mateos emerged victorious in a WCOOP event. The future Poker Hall of Famer captured his fifth WCOOP title, boosting his point tally for Team easywithaces.

Meanwhile, "FAL1st," a player who has been consistently making headlines in recent weeks, secured his fourth title of this year's series. This latest win further extended his commanding lead on the overall WCOOP leaderboard. With an impressive 2,195 points, he continues to be the MVP for Team peace&loove, whose dominance in the WCOOP League shows no signs of slowing down.

WCOOP Team Captain Lex "L.Veldhuis" Veldhuis also made waves, navigating his way to the chip lead in the World Championship of 8-game, where just nine players remain in contention.

What’s better than winning a World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) title over the weekend? How about claiming two? That’s exactly what Renan Bruschi did, following up his Saturday victory with another first-place finish just last night.

The Brazilian sensation took down WCOOP 65-H: $1,050 NLHE [Deep Stack], earning his sixth overall WCOOP title.

However, despite Bruschi's impressive double, it hasn’t shifted the standings in the WCOOP league, where Team peace&loove continue to fend off all challengers.

WCOOP 65-H attracted 227 entries, generating a $227,000 prize pool, with payouts reserved for the top 27 finishers. Bruschi was the only WCOOP draft pick to make it into the money, while WCOOP League team captains Lex Veldhuis, Fintan Hand, and Parker Talbot all missed out on a return.

Ole Schemion suffered the heartbreak of bubbling in 28th place, leaving the remaining players to claim at least $2,359 in winnings. Notable exits before the final table included Blaz Zerjav and Bert Stevens, with the last seat at the final table opening up after Sweden's "mamamamama70" busted in 10th place.

The eliminations continued as "Manolo Poppe," "teezhunter," "BLEFE GOD," and "SerVIaMin'" fell short to set up the final five. Spanish duo Manuel "Phemo" Bueno and Ignacio "Nacho124441" Moron bowed out in fifth and fourth place, respectively. "go4gunners" ran out of ammo in third.

The heads-up battle between Bruschi and "GodOf.com" saw the two agree to a deal to flatten the payouts. In the end, Bruschi triumphed, claiming the title and $40,859.
