Astedt Wins 12th WCOOP Title in $530 PLO PKO
Niklas “Lena900” Astedt secured his 12th career WCOOP title on Thursday, September 25, by taking down the $530 PLO Progressive KO (WCOOP 94-H). He outlasted a 237-entry field to bank $22,842 and move into joint fourth place on the all-time leaderboard alongside Patrick “pads1161” Leonard.
With players like Alfred “Kzzon” Karlsson, Benjamin “beastishngry” Juhasz, and "ShipitFTW911" joining Astedt on the final table, the Swede had to overcome a field full of proven online talent to clinch his 12th WCOOP.
This was Astedt’s first win of the 2025 series while adding a third PLO crown to his already glittering WCOOP resume. His first ever WCOOP title was in PLO, winning 27-M: PLO [6-Max]. More Omaha success came in the 2024 $2,100 5-Card PLO (6-Max), which earned him $51,257.
Astedt’s WCOOP résumé stretches back to 2018 and includes victories across No-Limit Hold’em, Omaha Hi-Lo, and PLO at a variety of buy-ins, from $109 up to the $10,300 Thursday Thrill High Roller PKO he won last year for nearly $190,000. His largest WCOOP cash remains the $201,055 score in the 2020 $5,200 NLHE PKO High Roller.
