This Time? Some of the Top Talents Who Have (Inexplicably) Never Won During WCOOP

WCOOP Players

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.
