WCOOP: Chris Oliver Beats ‘bencb789’ to Capture High Roller Title

Twelve more World Championship of Online Poker events came to their conclusion on Monday topped with the crowning of a new Sunday Million champion.

Lithuania’s ‘euras79‘ achieved every poker player’s dream after he turned $109 into $186,467 in Event #31 Medium ($109 NLHE [Half Price Sunday Million]} after battling through the large 16,950 player field. ‘euras79’ previous best cash was for $13,114 after a second-place finish in the PokerStars Big $55 last year which makes his title run even more spectacular. ‘ccccpusa‘ took the bronze medal for $94,744, before the $50,000 heads-up battle got underway. No deal was agreed to so the two players had a lot at stake, and it was ‘MrMo19‘ who ultimately exited in second place for a $132,912 before ‘euras79’ claimed their biggest career title to date.

‘OMGitshunt‘ won over $121,000 after they came through a 778 player field in Event #29 (High): $1,050 NLHE [8-Max, Progressive KO]. The final three consisted of two U.K. based players, but neither of them was able to go the distance. ‘Malaka$tyle‘ took third place for a total score worth over $55,000 before Jonathan ‘Gil3000’ Gill fell at the final hurdle but still banked over $57,000 for his silver medal.

Former PocketFives.com #1-ranked Chris ‘ImDaNuts’ Oliver took down Event #30 (High): $5,200 NLHE [High Roller] for a huge $250,934 score after a heads-up battle with ‘bencb789‘. The final table included PokerStars TeamPro Liv Boeree as well as current PocketFives.com world ranked no.#1 ‘Lena900,’ but they fell in 7th and 6th place respectively. ‘RommyTheCute‘ took away $144,315 in third place before the final battle got underway. There was $60,000 at stake, and it was Oliver who got the better of well-known online grinder ‘Bencb789’ who added $190,299 to his bankroll in second-place.

Former PokerStars Sunday Million champion João ‘XxJoaoFeraxX’ Otávio struck a heads-up deal with Yoshiaki ‘Play4livin’ Paco before going on to claim the Event #30 (Medium): $530 NLHE [Sunday Warm-Up SE] title. Paco secured by far his biggest online score to date after he agreed to take $112,593 for his share of the deal after Mark ‘Willy3009’ Wilson had departed in third place for $70,885. Brazil’s Octavio then claimed victory in the final battle and banked $126,350 as well as their first WCOOP title.

The biggest winner of the day was Brazil’s Fabiano ‘kovalski1’ Kovalski after he banked a massive $282,545 after a heads-up deal with his compatriot Eder Campana in Event #31 (High): $1,050 NLHE. The 2,077 entrant field created a $2,077,000 prize pool with over $530,000 up for grabs in the top two spots. The U.K.’s Jamie ‘Ship It 2010’ O’Connor secured his best online score worth $109,862 in fourth place before ‘messigoat10‘ secured $155,368 and the bronze medal. This left the two Brazilians to arrange a money deal. Kovalski then went on to secure his second WCOOP title, eight years after his first, as he sent Campana to the rail in second place for $247,918.
