Felipe Boianovsky won the $10,300 WCOOP Main Event, earning $551,632 and achieving a historic double by becoming the first player to win both the SCOOP and WCOOP $10K Main Events.
SCOOP stands for Spring Championship of Online Poker, while WCOOP represents World Championship of Online Poker. Both tournaments are held on PokerStars and rank among the platform's most prestigious online poker series. The $10K buy-in events represent the flagship tournaments within each series, attracting top-tier online poker talent from around the world.
Boianovsky's accomplishment places him in rare company. Previous winners of either the SCOOP or WCOOP $10K Main Event have included numerous world-class players, but none achieved victory in both tournaments until this victory. This distinction underscores the difficulty of winning major online poker championships at poker's highest buy-in levels.
The WCOOP victory adds another significant title to Boianovsky's resume. His previous win in the SCOOP $10K Main Event demonstrated his ability to compete successfully against elite fields in online poker's most demanding events. Repeating at the $10K level across two separate major series confirms his consistency at the top tier of the game.
The $551,632 first-place prize reflects the large field and high stakes characteristic of $10K buy-in tournaments on PokerStars. Boianovsky's tournament path through the WCOOP Main Event field culminated in a championship performance that separated him from other contenders.
