No fewer than 350 poker players will earn the right to call themselves world champions this fall when the World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) returns to PokerStars from September 6-30.
For 25 years, WCOOP has represented the pinnacle of online tournament poker. This year's festival continues that tradition with 121 events spread across High, Medium, and Low buy-in tiers, creating hundreds of opportunities for players to win a WCOOP title.
For his entire poker career, Thomas Eychenne would lie awake at night and imagine himself on a big stage, surrounded by bright lights and the blinding flash of cameras, as he hoisted a major trophy in the air. There were many opportunities for him to achieve that dream, but he always came up just a bit short. Still, he never gave up hope that it would happen one day.
Those hopes were realized last summer, as the 35-year-old Frenchman defeated Sebastian Ionita heads-up to win the 2025 PokerStars European Poker Tour Barcelona Main Event title and €1,217,175. With it came his biggest career score after conquering the massive 2,045-player field, but also, just as importantly, his first-ever live tournament win.
