PokerStrategist 'CrownUpGuy' wins the WCOOP Main Event
Fedor Holz of Germany wins the biggest online MTT of the year for $1.3 million as Isildur1 and Faraz Jaka make the final table.
Once again it was a high profile final in the $5,200 WCOOP Main Event, with Faraz 'The-Toilet 0' Jaka and Viktor Blom both capturing six-figure scores at the final.
However it would be German PokerStrategist Fedor '' Holz who would emerge the champion, winning $1.3 million.
The original first prize was $1.8 million but Holz captured an equally impressive $1.3 million after a six-way deal which saw everyone at the final take home more than $600,000.
Also at the final table was PokerStrategist who won over $650,000 after the deal.
Perhaps the biggest benefactor of the deal was Faraz Jaka, who managed to take home $945,000 despite exiting in 6th place.
Also celebrating today are members our our community who bought a piece in CrownUpGuy's staking thread. In one instance a member invested $1,300 and won himself around $260,000 without playing.
Congrats to everyone at the final table, especially and .

Russia win WCOOP leaderboard
Once again the country with the most WCOOP titles this year was Russia, who scooped nine of them. Just behind them Canada won eight, and the UK & Mexico both won six.
Canada won $9,079,823.83 collectively and just behind them the UK won $7,044,027.95. Canada also had the most cashes with 1,964 in total.
'Aggros Santos', 'Assad91' and 'WhatifGod' all managed to win two WCOOP titles this year, but the overall leaderboard winner was 'Mr Negreanu' of the UK (Not to be confused with the actual Daniel Negreanu). He cashed 17 times including two final tables to win the leaderboard and a package which includes a PCA, EPT and TCOOP Main Event seat.
Do you think the deal would have taken place if Isildur1 had still been at the table? Was it a good deal for the players? Let us know in the comments box.
