Jonathan Proudfoot Wins Second WCOOP Title and $120,603
Jonathan "Proudflop" Proudfoot can call himself a two-time WCOOP champion after becoming the last man standing in WCOOP 27-H: $5,200 PKO Thursday Thrill High Roller. It was Proudfoot's first WCOOP victory since 2021, but the $120,603 he banked made the wait worthwhile.
Seventy-two entrants created a $360,000 prize pool. Half of that sum was shared by the top nine finishers, with the remaining 50% placed on each entrant's head in the form of a progressive bounty.
Brazilian superstar Neymar Jr fired three bullets but eventually fell in 18th without collecting a single scalp. Ole "wizowizo" Schemion was the player who burst the money bubble, his tenth-place exit locking in $5,770 for the surviving players.
The likes of Niklas "Lena900" Astedt and fellow Swede "flerrehuve" crashed out from the final table early, with Renan "Internett93o" Bruschi and Patrick "pads1161" Leonard falling by the wayside in fifth and fourth place, respectively.
Proudfoot found himself heads-up against Germany's three-time WCOOP champion "Sintoras." Proudfoot got the job done and his hands on a cool $120,603 and WCOOP title number two.
