Over the last 15 days, some of the best online poker players in the world have battled hard in the PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker and after Monday, it’s hard to argue that anybody has shined brighter than Joao ‘Naza114’ Vieira.

The Portuguese poker pro beat Ben Tollerene heads-up to win Event #71 High ($10,300 Pot Limit Omaha Six Max Main Event) for his third WCOOP win this year. Vieira previously won Event #26 High ($530 Pot Limit Omaha Six Max w/rebuys) and then took down Event #52 High ($530 No Limit Hold’em Midweek Freeze). Tollerene finished as the runner-up and took home $280,980.88.

Andreas ‘Skjervøy’ Torbergsen finished in third-place for $219,951.87.

Julio César ‘jucetoor18’ Torres topped a 1,664-player field in Event #73 High ($1,050 No Limit Hold’em PKO Series Saver) for $126,244.57 and an additional $90,408.11 in bounties. Laszlo ‘omaha4rollz’ Bujtas finished one spot behind Torres and earned $89,990.95 plus $47,442.38 in bounties. Third place finisher Christophe ‘chrisdm’ De Meulder had to settle for $64,148.69 and another $15,548.82 in bounties.

A pair of Dutch players ended up chopping Event #1 High ($215 No Limit Hold’em Phased). Rens ‘Rens02’ Feenstra ended up with the winner’s share of $189,829.64 after beating Joep ‘Pappe_Ruk’ van den Bijgaart heads-up. As runner-up, van den Bijgaart earned $158,978.78. Brazilian Matheus ‘Yattago’ Dahdah wound up with $110,713.25 as the third-place finisher.

Sergio ‘VeGeTTo89’ Martí beat Ryan ‘newguy89’ McEathron straight up to win Event #69 High ($1,050 No Limit Hold’em Eight Max PKO) for $109.813.72. Marti also picked up $78,656.14 worth of bounties. McEathron earned $78,326.40 and another $25,644.54 in bounties. Former #1-ranked Griffin ‘Flush_Entity’ Benger finished third for $55,867.98 and $4,734.38 in bounties.
