Emulating Romanovsky, "FAL1st" secured their fourth WCOOP title by outlasting a formidable field of elite players in WCOOP 33-H: $1,050 FLO8 [6-Max]. The gold medal helped solidify Sebastian Huber's Team peace&loove's position at the top of the WCOOP standings.

The tournament attracted a competitive field of 55 entries, with nine spots paid. "FAL1st" was the last player standing, earning $17,365 from the $55,000 prize pool.

The final table was packed with WCOOP league picks, with five of the six teams being represented. Bruschi's second final table appearance of the day yielded a seventh place finish while Simon "C. Darwin2" Mattsson put some much needed points on the board for Team Spraggy. Strebkov was denied a 13th WCOOP win which paved the way for the heads-up showdown between Team AAkkari's Yuri "theNERDguy" Dzivielevski and "FAL1st", which was ultimately won by the latter.

Talbot's win, coupled with his Swedish cohorts' performances, ensured that Team Tonkaaaa earned the most points on Sunday. Ahead of yesterday's action, Team Tonkaaaa was trailing Team easywithaces by 310 points. However, they now lead the squad led by Fintan "easywithaces" Hand by five points. Additionally, Team peace&loove's lead over Team Tonkaaaa has shrunk significantly, from 350 points to 75.

Team L. Veldhuis, captained by Lex Veldhuis, earned just 40 points. Veldhuis had been battling illness and posted on X on Sunday that he needed to take the day off to recover. He mentioned feeling unwell with a severe headache and dizziness, stating, "I’ve been sick all week but able to power through. Last night I had a pretty bad stream. Went to bed with an insane headache and dizziness and woke up feeling worse. I honestly can’t believe it, but taking WCOOP Sunday off. I think playing today will result in more damage. Sorry🙏"

However, today he updated his status, saying, "I slept 12 hours last night. Game on."

  • Team peace&loove – 2,025 points (+145)
  • Team tonkaaaa – 1,950 points (+430)

Dzivielevski is WCOOP League's MVP So Far

Yuri Dzivielevski
Yuri Dzivielevski

Heading into the second week of WCOOP, Brazilian maestro Yuri "theNERDguy" Dzivielevski stands out as the most valuable WCOOP League pick, contributing 950 of Team AAkkari's 1,695 points. Close behind is compatriot Renan "Internett93o" Bruschi, who has accumulated 855 points for Team easywithaces, making him the second-best pick to date. Rounding out the top three is "FAL1st," who bagged their fourth WCOOP title on Thursday.

Denis "aDrENalin710" Strebkov is next on the list with 620 points from his 12th WCOOP first-place finish, proving to be Team L. Veldhuis' most significant asset. Interestingly, for Team tonkaaaa, it’s not Talbot (400 pts) leading the charge but 2024 WSOP Main Event bronze medalist Astedt, who is the only other player to surpass the 600 points mark.

Benjamin "Spraggy" Spragg has contributed 340 points, working hard to pull Team Spraggy out of the bottom ranks, but the team continues to struggle at the lower end of the standings.

Another WCOOP, Another Title for Vieira

Joao Vieria
Joao Vieria

Joao "Naza114" Vieira has once again made WCOOP headlines by winning his 11th title. The remarkable achievement spans from his first win in 2018 and is even more mind-blowing that he had a dry spell in 2020.

Vieira’s latest triumph came in WCOOP 34-H: $2,100 NLHE [Turbo], which attracted 124 entries and created a $248,000 prize pool. Vieira edged out Ivan "ILS007" Stokes in a heads-up battle to secure the triumph and a first-place prize of $54,358.
