Adrian Mateos

Adrian ‘Amadi_017’ Mateos once again underlined his supreme artistry in the field of No Limit Hold’em multi-table tournaments (MTTs), by taking down two World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) titles on PokerStars last week.

With four WCOOP titles to his name, the Winamax pro proves that using the away changing rooms presents no problem for a man of his stature. The first of Mateos’s victories came when he stomped all over the 201-entrant field in Event #28 (H) $2,100 No Limit Hold’em 8-Max, Turbo PKO Freezeout. He then followed that up with a whopper.

Event #25 (H): $25,000 No Limit Hold’em 8-Max, Super High Roller Sunday Slam attracted 71-unique entrants, and 35 re-entries and Mateos defeated Fedor Holz, heads-up, for the title, after the pair had secured a pretty even-steven heads-up deal.

The win means Mateos joins Dzmitry Urbanovich, ‘nilsef’, Andrey Zaichenko, Gleb Tremzin and Joao Vieira as a four-time WCOOP champion. The Spaniard has also won three World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets and a European Poker Tour (EPT) title.

Mustard.

You don’t just see it on slices of roast beef.

In taking second, Holz continued his impressive streak of running well that has seen him collect a second WSOP bracelet after winning the $25,000 No Limit Hold’em Heads-Up title on GGPoker for a million bucks. In 2014, Holz won the WCOOP Main Event, so PokerStars is a happy stomping ground for the young German star.

A special shoutout also goes to Luke ‘Bit2Easy’ Reeves who booked a third-place win for $353,117 while finishing second to the PocketFives World #1: Conor Beresford in Event #33 (H): $5,200 No Limit Hold’em 8-Max, High Roller.

The weekend is over, and we have a high stakes online poker round-up for you.

We begin at GGPoker and the costliest buy-in of the weekend. It ran under the “Bryn High Rollers” sigil and had a $25,000 price tag. The event attracted 28-entrants, and after the Spaniard, Sergi Reixach bubbled, four people finished in the money (ITM).

The former Global Poker Index (GPI) Player of the Year, David Peters, finished fourth, and the two-time Super High Roller Bowl (SHRB) winner, Timothy Adams, finished third.

That left Wiktor Malinowski and George Wolff to entertain the digital rail in the main spectacle of the weekend with Wolff collecting the win. Here are the results in full.

World Poker Tour Online News

The World Poker Tour’s (WPT) partnership with partypoker continues to roll. We don’t know the full details, but PokerNews UK Editor, Matthew Pitt, noticed two WPT branded events sitting in the partypoker lobby.

There is a $10,300 WPT World Championship Main Event and a Mini Main Event pencilled in for the future. The events will be #9 & #10, suggesting more vice to come.

The $10,300 event features two flights, and everyone begins with 100,000 chips with blinds increasing every 30-minutes. The $1,050 Mini Main Event mirrors its big sister.

SCOOP: The Numbers

After 33 days of play, the PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) series squeezed 124-events, and 371 tournaments into its roster. There were 2,787,301 entrants, including 486,301 re-entries, producing an average field size of 7,513.

$185,112,333 went to the players, making it the biggest SCOOP in history, and the high stakes star Rui “RuiNF” Ferreira won the Player of the Year award. The Portuguese star fired 595 bullets during the series, finishing ITM 115 times, accruing $585,983.05 in prize money. Talal ‘raidalot’ Shakerchi made the second most gross profit competing in 618-events, finishing ITM 99 times and earning $519,276.25. Patrick ‘pads1161’ Leonard competed in 606 events, finishing ITM 97 times, and earning $258,584.90.

On the multiple event front:

Connor ‘blanconegro’ Drinan – 5 titles

Mike ‘SirWatts’ Watson – 3 titles

The UK edged out the Brazilian-based players with 46 wins versus 45 with Russia coming third with 37.

If you have spent the past month knocking back Kingfishers from the carcasses of coconuts while grinding the World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) Online Series at GGPoker, then there will be a funereal gloominess about you, today.

It’s over, for now.

While I am positive that this event will clone itself like a sea anemone, GGPoker continues to melt high roller hearts, WSOP or no WSOP.

The final event of the WSOPC created one of the most substantial prizes on the Internet this week. Of the 9,291-entrants who made the perilous journey through the misty mountains of Day 1 of the $1,000 buy-in, $5m GTD WSOPC Main Event, 1.494 made it through to Day 2, by which time the $9,291,000 prize pool dwarfed the $5m guarantee.

The winner hailed from Germany.

‘schimmelgodx’ collected $1,271,217.69 after beating ‘Biereux’ in heads-up action. Juan Pardo Dominguez went deeper than any other high roller, finishing fourth for $430,022.47, and these stars of the top strata followed him: Artur Martirosian (12th), Alexandros Kolonias (19th), Joao Vieira (31st), and Daniel Dvoress (32nd).

  7. MaillouL – $145,466.38
  8. wy77 – $101,356.30

Before, during and after this magnificent moment, GGPoker kept churning out the high roller action like London horizons churn out cumulus.

Isaac Haxton took down the most significant chunk of change, topping a 60-entrant field in a $25,000 No Limit Hold’em event for $456,764.45, after beating Linus Loeliger, heads-up. There were also wins for Matthias Eibinger at the $10,000 level, and victories for Dario Sammartino, Laurynas Levinskas, Alex Foxen, Adrian Mateos, Jake Schindler, Mikita Badziakouski, and Kristen Bicknell at the $5,000 level. Andras Nemeth won the only high buy-in Pot-Limit Omaha event, taking down a $5,000.

PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker

The final day of the PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) saw Steve ‘Mr. Tim Caum’ O’Dwyer come close to winning his third title of the series.

O’Dwyer finished runner-up to the partypoker pro Joao ‘IneedMassari’ Simão in Event #120: $2,100 No Limit Hold’em Sunday Warm-Up Special Edition.

The event attracted 418-entrants, and the former PocketFives World #1 earned $150,546.78 for his victory. O’Dwyer collected $112,819.20 for his second-place finish.

O’Dwyer won a $25,000 No Limit Hold’em event for $521,598, and a $10,300 event for $241,956 – the first time he has earned SCOOP honours a year after winning a World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) title for the first time.

The Super High Roller Bowl Online (SHRBO) continues to block out sunbeams as it cruises across the chaotic and choppy waters of partypoker. Three events dropped a few million bucks into bank accounts with the nonchalance of mother nature dropping a few withered leaves onto the ground.

Here they are.

The phenomena known as Adrian Mateos banked the most significant prize of the day. The Spaniard trounced a field of 61-entrants in Event #17: $25,500 No Limit Hold’em. His award of $527,509.70 is the third most magnificent of the series behind Justin Bonomo ($622,634), and Daniel Dvoress ($613,986.70). It was the second time Mateos had scrambled over the precipice of the in the money (ITM) strata finishing fifth in Event #14. Mateos got the better of Seth Davies, heads-up. Davies also finished third in Event #12 recently.

Artur Martirosian won Event #16 $10,300 No Limit Hold’em. The Russian star hammered 75-entrants to claim the $234,604.50 first prize, continuing a run of form that’s seen him win two Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) titles in May.

Linus Loeliger pulverised the 76-entrant field in Event #18: $10,300 No Limit Hold’em. The Swiss star earned $237,732.56 for the win, his first ITM finish of the series. Vicent Bosca Ramon finished second, and there was another Top 3 finish for David Peters, in third.

Here are the results.

Nine more events are yet to stumble over the horizon before the $102,000 SHRBO Main Events comes into view.

The PokerStars Spring Championships of Online Poker (SCOOP) Main Event triad is at an end, and ‘Alexgirs’ claimed the most substantial amount found anywhere in the world this week and the coveted moniker of a SCOOP Main Event winner.

‘Alexgirs’ earned $870,595.81 after a three-way deal saw him take the lion share of the $2.4m remaining prizepool before going on to win the heads-up duel for a further $50,000.

Pablo’ pabritz’ Brito collected the runner-up purse of $764,941.51, and Brito is a man who is running so hot he’s going to end up in the burns unit if he’s not careful.

In February, Brito won the 465-entrant field in the $10,300 No Limit Hold ’em MILLIONS South America Main Event for $1m, before following that up by winning the 2,945-entrant Irish Open Online for $504,777.

Alex’ dynoalot’ Difelice collected $722,074.96 for finishing third.

The final table contained plenty of heavyweights with Daniel Dvoress, Michael Addamo, Max Silver and Benjamin Rolle all featuring.
