A round-up of the final weekend of the PokerStars’ World Championship of Online Poker including two wins for Dzmitry Urbanovich, a fourth title for Mike Watson, and the biggest win of the series thus far for Linus Loeliger. 

Poker players from around the globe are about to grow accustomed to the shaking of hands again, as their sole reason for hibernating in their bedroom like a vampire draws to a close.

The 16th Annual PokerStars’ World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) has waved bye-bye to its final weekend. So far, 714,544 entrants have competed in 165 events, creating $70,588,896 in prize money dished out to 111,764 people, and that’s not including the Main Event data yet to come.

The King Cobra in the PokerStars’ snake charming kit is the $5,300 buy-in, $10m Guaranteed Main Event (H), and yesterday Stars surpassed that guarantee thanks to 2,044 entrants (1,572 unique, 472 re-entries) creating a $10.22m prize pool. The winner will take home $1,529,002.94, and the likes of Noah Boeken, Lex Veldhuis and Liv Boeree are still in with a chance of winning that incredible sum of money.
