Spraggy Wins Massive Bounty as Schemion Shines in the WCOOP World Championship

The inaugural World Championship event of the PokerStars World Championship Of Online Poker (WCOOP) is in the bag and it is the legendary Ole "wizowizo" Schemion who wriote his name into the history books by becoming the first-ever champion.

Schemion overcame a ridiculously stacked field of 217 entries in the $5,200 buy-in World Championship of Progressive KO NLHE, and captured $240,028 of the $1,085,000 prize pool. Team PokerStars duo Benjamin "Spraay" Spragg and Alejandro "PapoAR" Lococo were both present at the final table, but things did not exactly pan out as they planned, as you are about to find out.
