Defending champion of this very event is German player "Ra��lGonzalez", who topped a field of 67 entries in WCOOP 69-H: $10,300 8-Game [High Roller] one year ago. Only the top seven spots were paid a portion of the $670,000 prize pool and more than one third was reserved for the champion ($235,531).
Jussi "calvin7v" Nevanlinna emerged as the winner in a field of 135 entries in the WCOOP 69-M: $1,050 8-Game back then and has since won his sixth WCOOP title during the ongoing festival. Another well-known pro of the live and online circuit took down the WCOOP 34-H: $2,100 8-Game in 2020 as Dzmitry "Colisea" Urbanovich scored his fifth WCOOP title.
All three are expected to join the fray as the mixed game specialists will aim to add a WCOOP title to their resume. This tournament will play down to the money on Day 1 and then resume the following Saturday, September 4.
