Mateos Gets WCOOP #5 and $62K
Mateos' victory came in the highly competitive WCOOP 75-H: $1,050 NLHE [6-Max], where the 329-entry field built a prize pool of $329,000. With a field packed with some of the biggest names in poker, it led to a star-studded final table showdown.
After PokerStars Ambassador and WCOOP League captain Benjamin "Spraggy" Spragg fell just short, busting on the final table bubble, the remaining contenders were guaranteed a minimum payout of $10,211. Following the eliminations of Peter "Belabacsi" Traply, "MyOnlyMemory," and "HardcorePwn," only four elite players were left battling for the title and a grand prize of $61,643.
Among the final four, Ole "wizowizo" Schemion and Andy "BowieEffect" Wilson were chasing their third WCOOP titles. However, their exits set the stage for the heads-up duel between Mateos and Ireland's Jonathan "Proudflop" Proudfoot.
In the end, Mateos edged past Proudfoot and ended his four year wait to reach the top of the WCOOP podium.
