WCOOP Unstoppable Players
WCOOP Unstoppable Players

Just a couple of short years ago, only one player had accumulated five WCOOP titles.

Since then, the picture has changed quite a lot.

Two excellent MTT pros have now taken the lead, both with insane scores – one player has nine WCOOP titles, and another has eight.

With the WCOOP 2020 upon us, all could change again over the coming weeks, but it’s going to take nothing less than a legendary run if anyone is to join the top of the pack.

So as we look forward to the Series, here are the players who have won the most WCOOP titles so far. You’ll also find out who that five-time winner was.

Bad Beat for Spragg

Level 6 : 150/300, 40 ante

Ben "Spraggy" Spragg got it in good with {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} and was called by "Helmut0711" with {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}.

The {q-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop gave "Helmut0711" a pair but Spragg had a draw to a king, a gut-shot straight draw, and a flush draw.

Spragg whiffed both the {10-Spades} on the turn and the {9-Diamonds} on the river and is onto his third bullet after the bad beat.

Hand then check-called an overbet of 5,489 after the {j-Diamonds} came on the turn.

Both players checked after the {a-Spades} came on the river. Hand was good until the turn with {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} but the river got him with Chien turning over {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} to win the pot.
