Thorsten “juicetus” Legit leads 2022 WCOOP Main Event
All eyes of the online poker tournament world are currently on the WCOOP Main Event as it has a massive, increased guarantee of $7,000,000, which means that more than a million dollars are waiting for the winner!
So far 703 players paid the $10,300 buy-in with three re-entries being allowed during late registration.
Registration is still open until the start of today’s Day 2, so the $7,000,000 guarantee will most likely be smashed.
228 players made it through Day 1 and Thorsten Legit from Austria is on top of the leaderboard with online superstars Andras “probirs” Nemeth, Jans “Graftekkel” Arends and Artem “veeea” Vezhenkov all being in the Top 10.
Day 2 will kick off at 5:35 GMT and there are 87 places paid. Since the tournament is a 4-Day-Event they will either play down to the money today or until the bubble.

Many notables had deep runs and two of them with Justin Bonomo and Bernhard Haider even made it into the Top 3.
After Bonomo busted in 3rd place for $76K, Haider and “2CoSalamanca” from Canada made an ICM deal securing both of them more than $115,000.
The Canadian, who was chip leader when the deal was made, took home the prestigious trophy.
