4 min read

Sebastian Huber‘s “teampeace&loove” has retaken the WCOOP League after “FAL1st” enjoyed an incredible time at the PokerStars tables. Although “FAL1st” did not add to his four World Championship Of Online Poker victories, they came close with a trio of final table appearances.

“FAL1st”‘s valiant performances helped Team peace&loove amass 770 points, catapulting them from third into first place. Not only that, Huber’s grinders now have a 220-point advantage over Fintan Hand‘s Team easywithaces.

Team Points Increase
Team peace&loove 3,015 +770
Team easywithaces 2,795 +455
Team tonkaaaa 2,670 +260
Team L. Veldhuis 2,175 +355
Team Spraggy 1,460 +300

“FAL1st,” who currently resides with his wife in Thailand, chalked up their first final table of the evening in the WCOOP 44-M: $109 Stud Hi/Lo 6-max event. They fell in fifth place for a $1,527 addition to their bankroll. Malta’s “DonBartos” eventually took the tournament down, turning their $109 investment into $5,575.

The mixed game specialist fired three bullets on Day 1 of the WCOOP $1,050 World Championship of PLO8, and that persistence paid off. “FAL1st” reached their second final table of the night, eventually crashing out in fifth place for $10,717. Congratulations to Aku “Aku1206” Joentausta of Finland, who is now known as the PLO8 champion of the world, and has $33,578 reasons to be delighted with how this event progressed.

“FAL1st” completed a hat trick of WCOOP final tables in the WCOOP 50-H: $1,050 FLHE 6-Max. A compact field of only 35 runners meant only the top five finishers were paid. Kelvin “_FP:AR” Kerber burst the bubble, narrowly missing out on earning points for Team Spraggy; and boy do they need points right now.

Renan “Internett93o” Bruschi of Team easywithaces picked up points with his fourth-place finish ($3,995) but not as many as “FAL1st” added when they fell in third for $6,437.

Big buy-in non-Hold’em events often grab the attention of the poker community because they are relatively rare outside major festivals. WCOOP 48-H: $1,050 PLO 6-Max PKO is one such event. On Day 1, the 183-strong field was whittled to a more manageable 22, and five of those surviving players are part of the exciting WCOOP League.

Team Aakkari’s Yuri “theNERDguy” Dzivielevski leads the way with 1,902,908 chips, with Denis “aDrENalin710” Strebkov occupying third place at the restart courtesy of their 1,496,242 stack. Strebkov represents Team L. Veldhuis.”

Simon “C. Darwin2” Mattsson is guaranteed to earn some leaderboard points for Team Spraggy; the Swede returns to the fray in fifth (1,318,353), while Niklas “Lena900” Astedt, fresh from bagging two WCOOP titles in the space of an hour, sits down with 1,145,578 chips, enough for seventh place and some valuable points for Team tonkaaaa.

Outside the top ten you can find Team easywithaces’ Renan “Internett93o” Bruschi (625,985). Keep an eye on Blaz “Scarmak3r” Zerjav who is currently third in the overall Player of the Series standings, 100 points behind Dzivielevski and ten behind Brushci. Zerjav is currently in 18th place with 351,604 chips.

Their fellow Brit “whatthejoe” gave them a run for their money in the best satellite result stakes. “whatthejoe” won an $11 satellite into the $1,050 World Championship of PLO8, reached the final table before busting in seventh place for $6,430.
