'bencb' and Fedor Holz chop WCOOP High Roller
CrownUpGuy wins big but fellow PokerStrategist 'bencb' takes down the title in the WCOOP $102,000 Super High Roller.
The most successful retirement in the history of poker continues as Fedor '' Holz once again wins seven-figures.
However, he had to settle for 2nd place as this time fellow PokerStrategist and our coach bencb is the champion of the biggest buy-in tournament in online poker history.
There were 28 entries in total including Jason Mercier, Doug Polk, Justin Bonomo, Brian Rast, Ben Tollerene, Igor Kurganov and bubble boy Isaac Haxton.
Three players in total made the money with Salman Behbehani finishing in third for $560,000. After his elimination Ben and Fedor did a deal heads-up which left $56,000 to play for, it ended quickly win Ben winning for a total of $1,172,360.60 and Fedor taking down $1,067,639.40.
So the day belongs to bencb but the story that is Fedor Holz's 2016 continues to defy belief, as he seems to make winning six and seven figure amounts a weekly thing (while claiming to be retired).
His lifetime winnings in live poker are $20,021,304 with $16,184,274 won live this year alone. Just check out some of his recent highlights in the last 12 months:
