It’s hard to argue with the fact that Adrian Mateos is one of the world’s best tournament poker players. With over $21 million in live tournament winnings and an online career to be just as awe-struck by, Mateos added to his impressive poker resume with his latest victory, the 4th WCOOP title of his career.

Winning $543,686 for finishing top of the payouts list, Mateos had some incredibly good players to battle through to claim the victory.

The guaranteed prizepool of $2.5 million was exceeded by an extra $99,650 as 71 players (plus 35 re-entries) made up the money on offer to those who finished in the money. Mateos was one of those who re-entered, paying $50,000 to take part rather than $25,000 but after turning that into half a million dollars, he’ll be delighted with his performance.

Just 13 players took to their seats as the final day begun, but it didn’t take long for the bust-outs to begin. Laszlo Bujtas was taken out by Australian player Kahle Burns after his pocket aces were easily enough to bust Bujtas with nines. Just a couple of hands later, the field was reduced to 11 players when Daris Pedes was taken out by Russian Wiktor Malinowski.
