Third WCOOP Win of the Series of Wilson After Heads-Up Deal

Andy Wilson
Andy Wilson

Andy “BowieEffect” Wilson has been unstoppable at this year’s World Championship of Online Poker, adding another trophy to his growing collection in the $1,050 NLHE (WCOOP 77-H).

Wilson struck a heads-up deal with Finland’s Tomi “elmerixx” Brouk, who was denied a second WCOOP title and instead had to settle for $42,915, while Wilson walked away with $47,568 and the winner’s accolade.

The result gives Wilson his third victory of the 2025 series and the fifth WCOOP title of his career.

His first triumph this fall came in the WCOOP 56-H: $1,050 NLHE 6-Max Progressive KO, where he banked $39,871. On Monday, he added a second victory in the WCOOP 81-H: $530 NLHE 6-Max Turbo PKO, collecting $26,315. Now, by winning the $1,050 NLHE, he has completed a remarkable hat-trick of titles in a single series, all coming in $1,050 buy-in events!

"Notmystyle" Denies Soccer Ace Neymar His First WCOOP Title

Neymar Jr.
Neymar Jr.

Brazilian soccer sensation Neymar came agonizingly close to becoming a World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) winner, but he ultimately had to make do with a runner-up finish. Neymar finished second from 112 entrants in the $5,200 NLHE Titans Event, taking home $99,075 and plenty of praise from the poker community.

The Titans Event is one of the toughest online poker tournaments, and this is particularly true during the WCOOP, when the world's best tournament players flock to PokerStars. Despite this, Neymar, who is better known for dazzling crowds with his silky footwork, more than held his own among poker's elite.

Canada's "Notmystyle" was the one player Neymar couldn't navigate past. The Canadian caused an upset as they banked $129,043 and the first WCOOP title of their career.

Juan Pardo Shines in the $2,100 NLHE Sunday Warm-Up

Juan Pardo
Juan Pardo

Spanish superstar Juan "Malaka$tyle" Pardo has kept up his streak of capturing a WCOOP title every year since 2022 by taking down the $2,100 NLHE Sunday Warm-Up. Pardo was one of 155 entrants who helped create a $310,000 prize pool. He was the last player standing and received $65,069 of that sum.

Unsurprisingly, this event saw some of online poker's elite grinders hit the PokerStars virtual felt. One of them, Simon "C. Darwin2" Mattsson, was the unfortunate bubble boy, crashing out in 18th place, locking in $4,978 for the 17 survivors.

Pascal "Pass_72" Lefrancois, Jans "Graftekkel" Arends, Renan "Internett93o" Bruschi, and Samuel "€uorp€an" Vousden saw a return on their investments but fell short of glory, Vousden finishing fifth.

After "FAL1st" and Brunno "botteonpoker" Botteon busted, Pardo made short work of "whaleptt" heads-up to claim his sixth WCOOP victory and $65,069 in cold, hard cash.

Hungary's "kZhh" is the World Champion of PKO NLHE

2025 PokerStars WCOOP
2025 PokerStars WCOOP

A bumper crowd of 1,182 players turned out for the $1,050 World Championship of Progressive KO NLHE, and Hungary's "kZhh" left them all in their wake. The impressive victory meant the Hungarian became a six-time WCOOP champion; their sixth victory came with a colossal $175,199 top prize, including bounties.

Sixty-one players returned for this event's Day 2, and there was a steady flow of eliminations from the get-go. Such luminaries as Juan "Malaka$tyle" Pardo, Thomas "WushuTM" Muehloecker, Benny "RunGodlike" Glaser, Pavel "silentm0de" Plesuv, and Stevan "random_chu" Chew were among the high-profile casualties.

The $1,182,000 prize pool resulted in the top five finishers walking away with five figures worth of progressive bounties. Sweden's "Sasuke234" collected one such bounty after falling in third, leaving "kZhh" heads-up against Dan "dannyz0r" Borlan. Both heads-up players locked in $80,390 for their deep runs, leaving the substantial bounties to play for. "kZhh" eliminated their final opponent to become online poker's NLHE PKO world champion.

Bruschi Binks Ninth Title; Ties With Fellow Brazilian Dzivielevski

Renan Bruschi
Renan Bruschi

Renan "Internett93o" Bruschi became a nine-time WCOOP champion on September 22, when he triumphed in the $2,100 NLO8 6-Max PKO event. With this victory, Bruschi drew level with Yuri "theNERDguy" Dzivielevski in regard to WCOOP victories enjoyed by a Brazilian.

This specialist event attracted 58 entrants, a small field but one brimming with top-tier poker talent. Any of the seven finalists would have made a worthy champion, but the night belonged to Bruschi, who put on a dominant performance, as evidenced by his claiming $25,312 worth of bounties.

Patrick "pads161" Leonard was the first finalist to fall before "Zanos_Goda" crashed out; the sixth-place finisher would later capture their third WCOOP gong in the $1,050 5-Card PLO8 event.

Thiago "KKremate" Krema, "iamivar," and Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi also fell by the wayside, leaving Bruschi heads-up with "FAL1st," who was hopeful of winning his 11th WCOOP event. Bruschi got the job done heads up, walking away with $42,258 in prize money and WCOOP title number nine.
