Waigel Busts "needdollarz"

Level 18 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

A short-stacked "needdollarz" got it in from the small blind with {k-Spades}{j-Spades} and was called by Ezequiel "eze88888" Waigel with the {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}.

The board came {10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{4-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and the 2018 WCOOP-H Main Event winner earned the pot.

Hoesel Wins a Big Flip

Level 18 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Hoesel vs Shalchinov A
Hoesel vs Shalchinov A

Russia's "Shalchinov A" opened to 32,000 and Joshua "slayerv1fan" Hoesel three-bet to 96,500 on the button, which then led to a four-bet worth 272,000 by the initial raiser. Hoesel moved all in and was called by "Shalchinov A" with the slightly inferior stack.

"Shalchinov A": {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Joshua "slayerv1fan" Hoesel: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

The {6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop brought no change yet but Hoesel took the lead on the {k-Hearts} turn, then faded the two outer on the {9-Clubs} river.

"AxelwOw~" Runs Out of Chips

Level 18 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

In the previous hand, "AxelwOw~" had doubled table neighbor "NatanDoPoker" and then jammed the short stack that was left over, as he clashed with the very same opponent.

"AxelwOw~": {q-Spades}{10-Spades}
"NatanDoPoker": {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

The board ran out {6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades}{k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and the seat open was already locked up on the turn.

Goya Rises Further; Busts "Megalomanic1"

Level 18 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Goya vs Megalomanic1
Goya vs Megalomanic1

Following a min-raise to 32,000 by "Megalomanic1", Dante "dantegoyaF" Goya made it 92,000 to go from the big blind and called the shove of his opponent for 298,020 total.

"Megalomanic1": {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Dante "dantegoyaF" Goya: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Nothing at all changed on the {a-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades}{3-Spades}{4-Clubs} board to send the pot to Goya.

"newguy89" Busts "fakejustice"

Level 18 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

A short-stacked "fakejustice" was at risk from early position with the {a-Spades}{j-Hearts} and "newguy89" had that crushed with the {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} in the big blind. The board ran out {10-Hearts}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{k-Spades} and "newguy89" made a full house eventually.

Level: 18

Blinds: 8,000/16,000

Ante: 2,000

Wilhelms vs VladTheSlaye

A raise to 29,690 by table chip leader "VladTheSlaye" from under the gun saw Marlon "sphinmx" Wilhelms move in for 342,907 in the big blind and he received an instant call.

Marlon "sphinmx" Wilhelms: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
"VladTheSlay": {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

On a board of {k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{4-Spades}, the Brazilian was drawing dead on the turn and the table broke right after.

Spragg vs Biocid

It was a classic flip for PokerStars ambassador Ben "Spraggy" Spragg, 488348 who got it in with the {a-Clubs}{k-Spades} and faced the {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} of on the button.

The {5-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop provided a gutshot and Spragg hit a superior pair on the {k-Clubs} turn, the {10-Diamonds} river delivered no upset.

“Why do you think the same five guys make it to the final table of the World Series of Poker EVERY YEAR?” argues Mike McDermott (played by Matt Damon) in Rounders. “What, are they the luckiest guys in Las Vegas? It’s a skill game.”

Here we are, some 22 years later, and If you still don’t believe Mike McD that poker is a game of skill then let us introduce you to Yuri "theNERDguy" Dzivielevski.

Forget about making headlines once a year, this 28-year-old Brazilian is a mainstay in our daily World Championship of Online Poker updates. And I mean every single day, in every single game.

Dzivielevski has won an incredible three WCOOP titles in the first two weeks of online poker’s most prestigious series, taking his career tally to four. At the time of writing, he’s in second place on both the overall and High WCOOP leaderboards and sits third in the Medium contest.
