WCOOP 2020: High Stakes Crusher Preben “prebz” Stokkan Continues to Progress and KO

Level 26 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante
Preben "prebz" Stokkan WCOOP
Preben "prebz" Stokkan WCOOP

When it comes to Progressive Knockout tournaments (aka PKOs or Bounty Builders), there aren’t many players as accomplished as Norway’s Preben “prebz” Stokkan.

His love affair with PKOs started back in 2017 during the World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) when he won his first title in a Thursday Thrill special edition for $160K plus $93K in bounties. He’s been hunting bounties ever since.

“I really enjoy the KOs!” Stokkan says as he gears up for a WCOOP Sunday session. “I probably like them more than freezeouts. They are less solved so I think the edge in them can be bigger. PKOs require more intuitive thinking regarding bet sizing and preflop strategy.”

It’s safe to say that in 2020 Stokkan has a pretty big edge.
