Another stellar performance was put on by Chad Brown who exited in 71st place. The polarizing Chiren80, an elite WoW player turned Team Pro member, reentered the atmosphere in 146th. WSOP Main Event Champions Joe Hachem and Greg Raymer lasted only lasted about halfway through the event.
In the end, POTTERPOKER proved that caps lock is indeed the cruise control to awesome and took down the prestigious WCOOP Main Event. His title netted him $2,278,097.50 and a WCOOP Bracelet.
On the final hand, runner-up joeysweetp made an ill timed bluff into the stone cold nuts. His $1.4 million dollar pay day shouldn’t have him wallowing in his sorrows for too long.
Russian_nuts, who hails from Moscow, is your third place finisher. He satellited into the Main Event via a $215 satellite and parlayed it into a prize in excess of $1,000,000.
