Round up of latest results

There were various stories tucked into the three most recent WCOOP events, and not just relating to the winners.

In Event #30, nanaf_funny from Russia took the first prize of more than $38,000, denying runner-up Conor "blanconegro" Drinan a first WCOOP bracelet. As Martin Harris wrote for the Blog, it was one of those events that almost took as long to say as to play, it being a five-card-Omaha-hi-lo-six-max-two-rebuys-one-add-on tournament. Read his report here.

Event #31 was a little shorter in name, it being the Super Tuesday Special Edition. Its 1,624 players combined for a prize pool exceeding $1.6 million, which was won by aricontre from the United Kingdom. But it had been a close thing for RuiNF, a WCOOP winner last week, who narrowly missed out on a second title. As Pauly McGuire reported, he finished fourth, which should be enough to send him back to the top of the WCOOP leader board.

Lastly there was Event #32, won by gettingpwned, recording his second COOP win in the FL Omaha Hi/Lo Championship. In doing so they saw off some tough opposition. Bryn Kenney would finish seventh, behind Team Online's Naoya "nkeyno" Kihara in sixth and former EPT Prague winner Julian Track in fifth. Read Jason Kirk's report here.
