WCOOP Round Up: Holz Bags a Milly; Roman For REG; Colisea COOP #4

A short round-up of the latest action at the PokerStars World Championships of Online Poker including another seven-figure score for Fedor Holz; a victory for charity, and a young Pole sweeping all before him.

When I saw Fedor ‘CrownUpGuy’ Holz was 20-1 to win the PokerStars World Championships of Online Poker (WCOOP) $102,000 Super High Roller (SHR) it struck me that the bookmakers have a lot to learn about the betting odds in poker.

Fortunately, my retirement from sports betting means I never took the bet, because although he made it to heads-up, and chopped the remaining $2.24m with the Swedish Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) winner, Bencb789, he didn’t win the final hand.

Still, it was another headline-grabbing moment for a man who seemingly can do no wrong. He has zoomed towards the top end of the All Time Live Tournament Charts on Hendon Mob with over $20m earned in the past couple of years, but he doesn’t do bad online either, winning the 2014 WCOOP Main Event along with his most recent $1,067,639.40 consolation prize.
