The 2019 World Championship of Online Poker actually kicked off on Thursday, but the first events didn’t finish until Friday with Canada’s ‘a.urli’ taking down the biggest buy-in event for a six-figure payday and one of Brazil’s top-ranked players also earning a win.

Beating out the 107-player field in Event #2 High ($10,300 NLHE PKO HR), ‘a.urli’ pocketed $123,282.73 from the prize pool and an additional $126,718.75 worth of bounties. Runner-up Scott ‘Aggro Santos’ Margereson wound up earning a total of just over $178,000 while third-place finisher ended up with just over $114,000.

Germany’s ‘mickesch777’ defeated the 1,246 player field in Event #2 Medium ($1,050 No Limit Hold’em PKO Thursday Thrill) for a healthy $97,974 first-place prize plus an additional $68,065 in bounties for a total of over $166,000. Finland’s ‘vakio¤ässä’ picked up $69,839 as the runner-up and finished with just $4,031 in bounties, the fewest at the final table. ‘Belarusrevenge’ may have fallen in third place, but they took home more money than second place thanks to his $49,783 prize and an additional $27,844 in bounties.

Diego ‘Mr.Bittar’ Bittar, the #8-ranked player in Brazil, added a WCOOP title to his previous Spring Championship of Online Poker win, by winning Event #6 Medium ($109 NLHE Six Max Shootout) for $20,736.72. Runner-up ‘zavor’ earned $15,552 for beating out all but one of the 1,296 entries in the event.

The #25-ranked player in the world, ‘eijseijs’ took down Event #6 High ($1,050 No Limit Hold’em Six Max Shootout) for a $47,520 payday and a WCOOP title. ‘mindgamer’ wrapped up the tournament as the runner-up walking away with just over $33,000 while Brazil’s Felipe ‘lipe piv’ Boianovsky took third place for $24,840 which should be enough to help him up over the $2 million mark in lifetime cashes.

Lebanon’s ‘kimokh’ also picked up a six-figure score by taking down the talent-rich final table of Event #3 High ($2,100 Pot Limit Hold’em Six Max) for $113,762. He outlasted ‘Biunnu92’ from Malta who finished as the runner-up for $84,324 as well as ‘Biunnu92’s fellow countryman ‘R4lti’ who took home the bronze for $62,504. The final table also featured former #1-ranked PocketFiver Yuri ‘theNERDguy’ Dzivielevski who finished in fourth for over $46,000 and renown nosebleed grinder Sami ‘Lrslzk’ Kelopuro who fell in fifth place for over $34,000.
