Round up of latest results

It was a good day for Poland, and it was another good day for their young star Dzmitry Midas"Colisea" Urbanovich. Alas, he didn't win a fourth title, but he did finish third in Event #12, accumulating enough points to top the Player of the Series leader board going into the weekend.

Instead the event, the NL Draw Championship, was won by Russian player Ti0373, who earned his third WCOOP bracelet, joining an exclusive group of five players to have earned three or more (djk123 still tops that list with 4).

But back to Poland, Events #11 and #13 both went their way.

In Event #11 Ojski1988 bagged his first WCOOP title and a first prize of $56,035.19 (plus $14,330.24 in bounties) in a Progressive Super KO format, having turned down a deal. Meanwhile in Event #13 Hookah17 was doing the victory dance, picking up a first prize of 40989 in the heads-up event, which was also the 500th WCOOP event ever held. Worth remembering for when the Social Media teams need a contest question.

Leader board

Well, in hindsight we should have seen this coming. After his second place in Event #12 yesterday Dzmitry "Colisea" Urbanovich, is top of the WCOOP leader board (he also happens to be fourth in the EPT leader board, which he won last season). Urbanovich has 145 points (from 5 cashes), ahead of previous leader reidir on 130 (3 cashes).

Quote of the day

"For this I played in a luxurious standard issue plastic garden chair supplemented with plush couch pillows." - Peter "RcknTheSbrbs" Nigh, winner of Event #01, on his WCOOP preparations. Read the interview with Nigh on the PokerStars Blog.


Today's dubious fact

Dzmitry "Colisea" Urbanovich nearly became the first man to top the EPT and wCOOP leader boards simultaneously, but dropped from first to fourth place on the EPT standings in the latter stages of EPT Barcelona.
