We have three PokerStars World Championship of Poker (WCOOP) results to bring you up to speed on, all of which resulted in a second WCOOP triumph for each last man seated.
We start with Ludovic Geilich.
The Scotsman, wore his partypoker patch with pride, as he outlasted a 94-entrant field in Event #10 {H}: $10,300 No Limit Hold’em 8-Max High Roller for $238,966. It’s the second time Geilich has won a WCOOP title with the words’ high roller’ in the event headline. In 2016, the partypoker pro beat 93-entrants in a $21,000 Pot-Limit Omaha 6-Max High Roller for $462,182.
The final day of the two-day event lasted less than six hours, and as you can see from the results, Geilich had to overcome a final table brimming with some of the most talented No-Limit Hold’em players in the world.
