The $5,200 NLHE 6-Max Championship was one of the marquee events of WCOOP 2025, featuring a $650,000 guarantee. With 157 entries, the prize pool climbed to $785,000.

After a talent-packed final, Dominik “Bounatirou” Nitsche secured his first WCOOP title, banking $135,555 after a three-way deal. Nitsche, a four-time WSOP bracelet winner and SCOOP champion, now has his WCOOP silverware.

Fresh off a $212K score in the $10K Super High Roller, Leonard “Grozzorg” Maue nearly went back-to-back but had to settle for $130,401 in second. Johannes “Jepser8” Straver rounded out the top three with $106,423.

The final also featured some of the most feared names in the online game. Marcelo “marceloaziz” Aziz finished fourth for $70,157, while fellow Leon “RUMUKULUS” Sturm added another deep run in fifth. "Sxmon" (sixth) and Jans “Graftekkel” Arends (seventh) completed the final table line-up.
