He may be one of the most decorated players in online poker history, with millions in winnings on PokerStars alone under his "probirs" moniker, but Andras Nemeth had yet to capture a World Championship of Online Poker title coming into 2020. He did so a week ago but it didn't look much like a second one would come in WCOOP-37-H: $5,200 PLO [6-Max, High Roller] either, seeing as Nemeth was sitting in fourth with four players left.
However, pot-limit Omaha can be a swingy game, and Nemeth experienced the positive side of that variance. Less than an hour after sitting in last place, he'd won the tournament for $140,506 for his second WCOOP title.
Final Table Result 2020 WCOOP-37-H: $5,200 PLO [6-Max, High Roller]
| Place | Winner | Country | Prize (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Andras "probirs" Nemeth | Hungary | $140,506 |
| 2 | Richard "raconteur" Gryko | United Kingdom | $107,761 |
| 3 | Laszlo "omaha4rollz" Bujtas | Hungary | $82,648 |
| 4 | Us_Alex | Russia | $63,387 |
| 5 | Aku1206 | Finland | $48,614 |
| 6 | Joao "Naza114" Vieira | Portugal | $37,285 |
| 7 | Shaun "shaundeeb" Deeb | United States | $28,596 |
He had to beat a couple of PLO experts in three-handed play, too, toppling the likes of Lazlo "omaha4rollz" Bujtas and Richard "raconteur" Gryko, both of whom can often be found grinding high-stakes cash of the four-card variety. Both players had fairly sizable chip leads at times during the final table, but neither was able to quite close it out.
Bujtas in particular found himself in a dominating position with five left. He'd just busted tournament legends Shaun "shaundeeb" Deeb and Joao "Naza114" Vieira, the latter in an insane pot where Bujtas tripled off with ace-jack high on a board featuring trip twos and Vieira called with ace-ten high. With half of the chips five-handed, it looked like a dream spot for the PLO pro to lock up the title.
Instead, he bluffed off a chunk and then saw Nemeth double through him twice.
Nemeth then followed with a lucky double as his tournament life was on the brink in a three-bet pot when his aces got outflopped by "Us_Alex." That player's two pair got counterfeit on the turn, though, and Nemeth continued on.
Gryko was the one with more than half of the chips three-handed, but Nemeth began his rise then, and he busted Bujtas to take the lead in a lucky hand where his double-suited ace-high hand cracked double-suited kings in a four-bet pot.
A classic PLO flip against Gryko followed for almost all of the chips in play as the Brit flopped bottom set with a blocker to top set, while the Hungarian had a monster draw with nut wrap plus nut flush. He hit the straight on the turn and the flush on the river to boot, and as quickly as someone could plug in a hand into a PLO calculator, the heads-up match was over.
Gryko got the only other six-figure score of the tournament with $107K, and Nemeth made a start in getting his name added to future articles about the most unstoppable players in WCOOP history.

Andras "probirs" Nemeth raised the pot to 210,000 and was called by Richard "raconteur" Gryko in the big blind. On a 
flop, Gryko opted to check-raise from 210,000 to 798,000 and Nemeth raised the pot. Gryko stuck his last 4.6 million in and Nemeth called with the superior stack.
Richard "raconteur" Gryko: 
Andras "probirs" Nemeth:

turn and 
river runout. And Just like that, the tournament is over as Gryko finishes in 2nd place for $107,761.
