The flurry of eliminations has slowed down. This is perhaps at least partially due to the big payout jump. The final 12 players are each guaranteed $5,837 but this jumps up significantly after one more player is eliminated with the final 11 players guaranteed at least $8,256.
PokerStars WCOOP 2020
“The tournament was very intense.”
So said Vitor “Vitorbrasil” Moreira when we asked him about Event #48-M of the 2020 World Championship of Online Poker.
It was a $530 buy-in no-limit hold’em event played eight-handed in the progressive knockout format. It attracted 3,856 entries, building a huge prize pool of $1.928 million. And some of online poker’s toughest and most consistent performers were there at the end.
“When playing a buy-in of this value, it’s always very challenging,” says Moreira.
The first day went well for the Brazilian. “I was able to maintain a good stack from the beginning,” says Moreira. “I eliminated several players and was able to move forward safely.”
