There was plenty of glory on display on Day 3 of the 2021 World Championship of Online Poker on PokerStars with over a dozen titles being won.
And the big names were out in force, with Patrick “pads1161” Leonard and Naoya “nkeyno” Kihara winning the third WCOOP titles of their careers. Leonard took down WCOOP 08-H for over $120,000 for his first title in six years.
Kihara triumphed over a tough HORSE field to add to the Razz and 2-7 Single Draw WCOOP titles he won in 2019. He defeated Tobias “Senkel92” Leknes heads-up to deny Leknes a seventh WCOOP title.
Meanwhile, PokerStars Ambassador Lex “L. Veldhuis” Veldhuis and Benjamin “bencb789” Rolle both made the final day of Event 16-H with $46,305 awaiting the winner.

“Soul0faSwan” Wins WCOOP-04-M: $530 NLHE [8-Max]
The World Championship of Online Poker has crowned another champion after “Soul0faSwan” defeated a 3,213-player field in WCOOP-04-M: $530 NLHE [8-Max], for an impressive $205,844.
The Austrian native began the final day in the top spot, having a commanding lead but didn’t have it all their own way at the final table, with “Naked:D” running over the table. However, after a heads-up deal was struck between the pair, it seemed the Ukrainian’s momentum wore off as”Soul0faSwan” took over completely.
The last hand of the night saw “Naked:D” jam the river with ace-high after missing a straight draw and was outkicked by “Soul0faSwan” who wins their WCOOP title along with their biggest online cash to date.

Audrius “Stakelis24” Stakelis Bags Biggest Stack to End Day 1 of WCOOP 14-M
Audrius “Stakelis24” Stakelis will be looking for a second WCOOP Super Tuesday title in two years after ending Day 1 of WCOOP 14-M: $1,050 NLHE [8-Max Super Tuesday SE] with the chip lead.
In 2020, Stakelis topped an 8,961-player field to win $62,359 in the Mini Super Tuesday SE. This year, he was part of a 1,071 player field that generated a prize pool of $1,071,000.
Stakelis was one of five players to bag more than 3 million chips on Day 1, including two Brazilians. Brazil may well be the story of Day 2, as Brazilian players own 5 of the top 10 stacks going into the final day of play, and are well represented through the rest of the chip counts as well.
