Online Poker's New Champ!

The Fourth Annual World Championship of Online Poker concluded on Sunday with the $2,500 No-Limit Hold 'Em championship event. 1,494 players won their entry or paid the full fee to have their shot at the $859,050 first prize. This was a record for the WCOOP, and the $3,735,000 prize pool was a record for online poker.

Many big names in the poker world entered this event. The top names at Team PokerStars didn't fare as well as they would have liked, as most of their front-runners were out fairly early. Evelyn Ng (evybabee) went out 604th, Chris Moneymaker (money800) fell out in 1,355th, and Greg Raymer (Fossilman) busted in 402nd.

Isabelle Mercier (NoMercy) did manage a very solid performance, finishing in 63rd and winning $1,000,000 freeroll at Paradise Poker $9,337.

Other notables who entered but did not cash were Scott Fischman (emptyseat88), Noah Boeken (Exclusive), Barry Greenstein (crazyplayer), Joe Sebok (fidallio), John D'Agostino (jdags21), Layne Flack (reloadthis), and Brett Jungblut (gank). 135 players were paid money for their efforts, the worst a player who cashed could do was $3,735.

All final table participants were guaranteed at least $56,025—which alone is more than 90% of online tournaments pay out altogether!

In the end, 18-year-old Pandella86 became the fourth WCOOP Main Event champion. (Poker News)
