Wilson Makes it Five WCOOP Titles as Camosci and FAL1st Shine
It was another action-packed day in the 2025 World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) on PokerStars, with established names continuing to pad their trophy cabinets and a new wave of champions breaking through.
The headline belonged to Andy "BowieEffect" Wilson, who captured the $1,050 NLHE (WCOOP 77-H) for $47,568. The win marked Wilson’s fifth career WCOOP title and impressively his third of the 2025 series, confirming his place as one of the standout performers of this year’s festival.
High-stakes action saw Enrico "WhaTisL0v3" Camosci take down the $5,200 Bounty Builder Super High Roller (WCOOP 78-H) for $108,258. The Italian secured his third career WCOOP title.
Meanwhile, "FAL1st" continued to be one of the fiercest online competitors, winning the $2,100 FL 2-7 Triple Draw (WCOOP 85-H). They won $25,969 to collect his third victory of the 2025 series and 11th career WCOOP title overall, drawing level with Niklas Astedt on the all-time leaderboard.
Elsewhere, "Team PokerBR" and Christopher "PokinStaR" Alcindor both added their second titles of the series in the $1,050 NLHE Freezeout (WCOOP 80-H) and $530 PLO8 (WCOOP 83-H) respectively, while "Saage" returned to the winner’s circle for the first time since 2021 in the $55 PLO8 (WCOOP 83-M).
There was also a strong showing from France’s Romain "Y.Strah0vski" Nardin, who captured the $1,050 6-Max PKO (WCOOP 87-H) for $36,218.
Beyond the big names, a host of players earned their first WCOOP silverware. Among them were "bilcock18", "WishICouldFold", "Kopsytt", "greatness_m", "Imarius", "Carlos levis", "Michael 2048", "Slzter", "adohole", "lucas", "BVHBCH", and "seminhorse", each writing themselves into the record books with maiden victories.
