Manolis “hangoverdose” Chalkiotis is the latest mixed-game champion at WCOOP after winning the $1,050 HORSE Championship. The two-day event drew 79 entries to create a $79,000 prize pool, with Chalkiotis banking $19,664 and his third career WCOOP title.

Chalkiotis defeated Blaz “Scarmak3r” Zerjav heads-up to secure the title. Zerjav was chasing his third victory of the 2025 series and what would have been his sixth WCOOP title overall, but instead had to settle for $14,919.

Other notable finalists included Adam “ISmellToast” Crawford, who finished third for $11,187, and Adam “Adamyid” Owen, who bowed out in seventh place.
