One year ago, some WCOOP PLO High Roller winners included "kimokh", Joni "bustoville" Jouhkimainen, Joao "Naza114" Vieira, "Tonimonntana", and "shenideda". Vieira in fact won two PLO High Rollers including the WCOOP-71-H: $10,300 PLO [6-Max, PLO Main Event], which came with a payday of $384,947.88.
The defending champion of this very event is Hungary's "xnrobix" who won his second title of the 2019 festival after coming out on top of a field of 179 entries and took home $178,512.19 for the efforts.
