On the fifth day of the 2020 PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP), Andras "probirs" Nemeth crossed one of the few missing accolades off his list by winning a WCOOP title. The former #1 ranked tournament player in the world on PocketFives, Nemeth got the proverbial monkey off his back in WCOOP-15-H: $530+R NLHE [8-Max], where he outlasted a 294-player field to win $79,655.
In addition, two major tournaments kicked off which are both covered in the PokerNews Live Reporting section, where Artur "mararthur1" Martirosian claimed an overnight chip lead in WCOOP-16-H: $10,300 NLHE [8-Max, Progressive KO, High Roller].
