WCOOP is finally over after the Main Event has been concluded. It took quite a many hours to finish the Main Event and after the dust had settled, there could be only one standing. This year it was Jason Potter.

The Main Event winner Jason Potter

The Main Event was divided into two days, so the heads up players accumulated quite decent hours behind them. The winner, Jason “POTTERPOKER” Potter entered the final table in a clear chiplead and there was no one who could unsettle his lead at any time.

The heads up was started in Potter’s 6-1 lead. Even though “joeysweept” managed to double up once, he finally lost his whole stack after an unsuccesful bluff and Potter won a staggering 2,2 million dollars first prize.

“Joeysweept” won $1,4 million and the third place finisher “Russian_nuts” won a bit over million dollars.
