Bruschi in Pole Position for PLO8 World Championship
The $1,050 World Championship of PLO8 is down to its final seven players, with Renan “Internett93o” Bruschi holding a commanding chip lead. Bruschi bagged 12,617,522 chips — more than double the average stack — as he eyes what would be an eighth career WCOOP title.
The event drew 165 entries, generating a $165,000 prize pool. The winner is set to receive $33,376, while everyone left has already locked up $6,392.
The finale features a mix of established stars and dangerous grinders. “FONBET_RULIT” and “soumi7” are both sitting comfortably in second and third.
Tyler “Juicy_J_93” Jardine and Talal “raidalot” Shakerchi add plenty of high-stakes pedigree to the line-up, with Shakerchi a regular in both online and live super high rollers. Finland’s “h3pp4p01k4” is the short stack but still in contention.
