Just before the 2018 World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) got under way, we took a look at five players who were overdue a victory in poker’s premiere tournament series. There was simply no rational explanation for how come all of Niklas “Lena900” Astedt, Simon “C. Darwin2” Mattsson, Luke “lb6121” Schwartz, Talal “raidalot” Shakerchi and Tobias “kuhns89” Hausen had not, to that point, won a WCOOP tournament.
Two years on, only Astedt has put it right. He won the $530 PLO 6-Max in 2018 to get the monkey off his back.
Today we’re taking a look at another list of brilliant talents who have not yet won a title during WCOOP. But remember as you read the list of nearly men below that Mattsson, Schwartz, Shakerchi and Hausen are still looking for that WCOOP title too. Perhaps there’s no real shame in all of this.
The five remaining players have gone for another 5-minute break.
Kelvin "kelvin_fp:ar" Kerber raised to 3,000,000 from the button and Gabriel "gtavares10" Tavares three-bet shoved from the small blind. "Schildy1984" quickly folded their big blind and Kerber called for the remaining 2,944,742.
Kelvin "kelvin_fp:ar" Kerber: 
Gabriel "gtavares10" Tavares: 
The flop came 
for Tavares to hit top pair but for Kerber to pick up the open-ended straight draw.

which didn't change things and neither did the 
on the river as Kerber was eliminated in sixth place.
