As the World Championship of Online Poker continues on PokerStars, the events are starting to get a bit more varied in terms of game types and structures. WCOOP 29 was a No Limit Omaha Hi-Lo Six-Max Knockout with a $250 buy-in. 685 players registered for the awkwardly titled event, each paying $200 towards the normal prize pool and another $50 towards the bounty pool.

The event was running long at 9.5 hours before the final table was even set, and got a whole lot longer once it was – Horns_Halos, cutitup, nkeyno, Zbad, nasud 11 and PlayWMyNuts battled it out for a total of 4.5 hours, making the event an outright marathon at 14 hours total.

Zbad and nasud 11 were the first players eliminated, though it took almost 1.5 hours for that to occur. PlayWMyNuts was eliminated when Horns_Halos got the upper hand with two-pair. A three-handed deal was then struck between cutitup, nkeyno and Horns_Halos. The latter player was ultimately victorious, winning $23,555 and the title.

WCOOP 31 was an 8-Game mix with a $300 buy-in. PokerStars’ expectations were exceeded once again when 632 players showed up to generate a $189k prize pool, nearly doubling the $100k guarantee.

There was only room for six players at the final table: Chillolini, Elliot Nicholls, ElmanOne, Vincent Van Der Fluit, Adrienne Rowsome and jokanavic, from highest chip stack to lowest. Jokanavic was first eliminated in a massive four-way pot after Van Der Fluit tabled a full house. He would then continue building his stack in PLO and NLHE.

Nicholls, Rowsome and Chillolini were next to hit the rail, leaving just Van Der Fluit and ElmanOne for heads-up play. Van Der Fluit closed out the event in a game of Omaha Hi Lo, winning $35k. ElmanOne received $26k for his runner-up finish.
