WCOOP: The Unstoppable Fal1st Secured His Fourth Victory And Took A Big Lead In The Overall Leaderboard

Fal1st has already been crowned the best player of a series, but that was during SCOOP 2023. Now, he is on the verge of becoming the top player of WCOOP.

Fal1st Trophies for SCOOP 2023

Fal1st Becomes the First Player to Win 4 WCOOP 2024 Events

Last night, he won the $2K NLO8 ($39.8K). His previous 3 victories came in tournaments of three different disciplines:

  • $1K FLO8 ($17.3K)
  • $1K NL 2-7 Single Draw ($19.5K)
  • $1K 8-Game ($22K)

But that’s not all. Last night, Fal1st also made a couple of deep runs:

  • 2nd place in the $1K 5-card PLO8 ($22K)
  • final table in the $2K World Championship of 8-Game, with the second-largest stack, while PokerStars Ambassador Lex “LexVeldhuis” Veldhuis is leading.

Will Fal1st Win the Overall Leaderboard?

In the overall leaderboard, Fal1st further solidified his lead:

  1. “Fal1st” – 2,195 points
  2. Yuri “theNERDguy” Dzivielevski – 1,800 points
  3. Blaz “Scarmak3r” Zerjav – 1,790 points

To catch up with “Fal1st,” Dzivielevski or Zerjav would need to win at least 4 tournaments (taking into account that the Fal1st will not win any more points).

Let me remind you that a win gives 100 points, second place awards 80 points, and so on. The minimum ITM earns 5 points. The winner of the overall leaderboard will receive $25K.
