Players enjoyed a welcomed day from the 2024 PokerStars World Championship Of Online Poker (WCOOP) grind on September 27 but returned to the virtual felt the following day full of renewed vigor. The biggest event needing wrapping up was Day 2 of the $10,300 NLHE NLHE PKO Thursday Thrill High Roller, and one of online poker's biggest names took it down: Niklas "Lena900" Astedt.
Astedt, part of Team tonkaaaa in the WCOOP League, became only the sixth PokerStars player in history to reach ten career WCOOP titles. The Swede finds himself among elite company, with Benny "RunGodlike" Glaser (15), Tobias "Senkel92" Leknes (13), Joao "Naza114" Vieira (12), and Patrick "pads1161" Leonard the other players into double-digit WCOOP victories.
PokerStars Player Turns $1.50 Power Path Ticket Into WCOOP Title and $36KExclusive interview
Team tonkaaaa is the only team with any sort of chance of catching Team peace&loove in the inaugural WCOOP League, and team captain Parker "tonkaaaa" Talbot is doing everything in his power to catch his fellow PokerStars ambassador. Tonkaaaa triumphed in the $1,050 World Championship of Badugi for his fifth title of the 2024 WCOOP and his ninth overall. Unfortunately, this event only saw a field of 45 entrants, so it was under the threshold for earning valuable league points.
Unfortunately, despite the monumental efforts of Talbot, Astedt, and the other three Team tonkaaaa members, it is all but guaranteed Team peace&loove will run away with the WCOOP League. Over the weekend, "king153246" captured not one but two titles. The player Sebastian "peace&loove" Huber selected from the WCOOP Boot Camp took down WCOOP 101-H: $1,050 Stud 6-Max and then triumphed in WCOOP 103-L: $11 NLO8 6-Max.
If you are going to become a ten-time WCOOP champion, you may as well do it in style, which is precisely what Niklas "Lena900" Astedt did. Astedt came out on top in WCOOP 97-H: $10,300 NLHE PKO Thursday Thrill High Roller and walked away with his tenth career WCOOP titles and a $188,988 top prize.
Only seven of the 65 entrants won a slice of the regular prize pool, although many more received bounties payouts before they busted.
Team PokerStars ambassador Alejandro "PapoAR" Lococo was the first in-the-money casualty, falling in seventh; the Argentinian didn't receive any bounties, which is surprising considering he went so deep.

Ukraine's Roman "RomeOpro" Romanovsky fell in sixth before Alisson "heyalisson" Piekazewicz busted in fifth. Alexandros "Pwndidi" Theologis' latest deep run ended in a fourth-place exit, with the tournament progressing to heads-up after the demise of "Natrium111" of Belarus.
Astedt found himself heads-up against Patrick "pads1161" Leonard, who recently became a ten-time WCOOP champion. Both players secured $86,879 from the regular prize pool, leaving six figures worth of bounty payments to play for. As he often does when he reaches the one-on-one stage of a major tournament, Astedt got the job done and defeated his final foe. With the $102,109 worth of bounties added to his regular prize, Astedt scooped $188,988, leaving Leonard to lick his wounds and receive $130,238.
