Sebastian “peace&love” Huber has become a three-time World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) champion after winning Event 100-M: $75 NLHE 6-Max Turbo PKO. The victory follows his earlier titles in a $5.50 7-Max PKO event four years ago and an $11 H.O.R.S.E. event two years later.
The tournament attracted 1,113 entrants, generating a $75,884 prize pool split between the top 143 finishers and a progressive bounty pool. Brazilian players dominated the later stages, with 13 of the final 20 hailing from Brazil, though none advanced past fifth place.
After Malta’s “LAFAL1O” and the UK’s “tombk24” were eliminated in fourth and third respectively, Huber faced “Old brock” heads-up. Both players had already secured $5,442 from the prize pool before Huber won the bounty battle, taking home $10,056 in total.
Huber’s Thursday was highly profitable overall, as he also finished third in Event #93-M: $215 NLHE for $7,380 and sixth in Event #92-M: $55 PLO for $1,297.
Elsewhere in WCOOP action, Johannes “Jepser8” Straver won his fourth title by taking down the $10,300 NLHE PKO Thursday Thrill for $167,733, defeating “VbV1990” heads-up. Estonia’s Markku “markovitsus” Koplimaa earned his fifth WCOOP win in the $109 5-Card PLO event, while Austria’s “CPUrul0r” secured a sixth career title in the $1,050 NLHE Fenomeno event, worth $22,223.
Two in-play events, the $109 and $1,050 Thursday Thrill tournaments, are set to conclude on September 25, with Benny Glaser among the remaining players in the higher buy-in event.
