WCOOP: ‘magiet12’ Comes From Behind to Win $100K, WCOOP Title
Three more players walked away from Saturday’s PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker action with titles to their name, but none were impressive – or more valuable – than what ‘magiet12’ did in Event #19.
Heads-up and down over 10-1 in chips against ‘SHiiPTHATiSH’, ‘magiet12’ came all the way back to win Event #19 High ($1,050 Six Max PLO w/rebuys) for $100,188.75. Thanks to a deal struck between the final two players, ‘SHiiPTHATiSH’ ended up with $93,133.99 for his eventual runner-up finish. Laszlo ‘omaha4rollz’ Bujtas finished in third for $62,908.51.
Germamy’s ‘knaller77’ topped the 413-player field in Event #18 High ($530 Eight Max Pot Limit Hold’em) to win his first WCOOP title and $53,235.93. ‘SsicK_OnE’, who won two Spring Championship of Online Poker titles in 2016, finished second for $38,907.26. Dario ‘Secret_M0d3’ Sammartino, who started Day 2 with the chip lead, finished ninth for $4,795.11.
That wasn’t the only WCOOP title for Germany on Saturday though. ‘LoosControl’ beat out 1,366 other entries to win Event #21 High ($215 Eight Max No Limit Hold’em) for $42,138.43 payday and his first WCOOP title. Runner-up ‘ImSivvis’ ended up taking home $30,055.35 for finishing second.
