What an incredible day May 12 was for the WPT Online Series<\/strong>. The WPT500 crowned its champion, as did the PLO High Roller and a handful of other tournaments. Fabio Sperling won the WPT500 after a four-handed deal that saw more than $900,000 distributed! Let\u2019s take a closer look at how things went down.<\/p>\n

WPT #03 \u2013 WPT500: $2M Gtd<\/h2>\n

The WPT500 ended in a four-handed chop that saw each of the four players win between $187,289 and $281,125.<\/p>\n

Before that deal could be struck, the final table had to be whittled down.<\/p>\n

Guiseppe Vassallo<\/strong> of Germany busted in eighth and turned his $530 into $23,174. Daan Mulder<\/strong> of the Netherlands joined Vassallo on the rail with $35,799 reasons to be cheerful.<\/p>\n

Sixth-place and $50,887 went to Russia\u2019s Arutyun Saakyan<\/strong> before Philipp Dietrich<\/strong> of Germany collected $74,785 for his fifth place finish.<\/p>\n

The tournament was paused while the remaining four players looked at the numbers of an ICM-based deal. They liked the look of them, agreed to them, and the tournament concluded.<\/p>\n

Christopher Putz<\/strong> was the fourth place finisher when the dust had settled. He walked away $187,289 richer as part of the deal. Markus Prinz<\/strong> banked $202,012 and finished third, with Walter Treccarich<\/strong> scooping $235,666 for his second-place finish. Treccarich started the final day as the chip leader and almost went all the way.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to Fabio Sperling<\/strong>, the 2020 WPT Online Series WPT500 champion, an accolade that comes with $281,125 in prize money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

WPT #22 \u2013 PLO High Roller: $1M Gtd<\/h2>\n

Andrew Pantling<\/strong> won the PLO High Roller and secured a massive $302,287 payout. Pantling played well and ran well to the point he had a 100 big blind stack when play was four-handed. The next largest stack of chips was worth 25 big blinds!<\/p>\n

He used that big stack to his advantage and became a WPT Online Series champion. Marcello Marigiliano was the runner-up, the UK-based grinder can\u2019t be too displeased with the $204,000 he collected for second-place.<\/p>\n

Earlier at the final table, Gavin Cochrane<\/strong> exited in sixth for $49,800 with Finnish superstar Jens Kyllonen<\/strong> reeling in the $75,000 fifth-place prize. Fourth place and $102,000 went to Veselin Karakitukov<\/strong> with Andras Nemeth<\/strong> putting in yet another incredible performance that resulted in a $144,000 score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

WPT #23 \u2013 Pot Limit Omaha: $300K Gtd<\/h2>\n

All eyes were on Patrik Antonius<\/strong> in the final stages of the Pot Limit Omaha: $300K Gtd but the Monaco-based Finn busted in seventh-place and burst the final table bubble.<\/p>\n

Antonius\u2019 demise meant everyone was no guaranteed more than $13,000. His fellow Finns Saku Nasman<\/strong> and Arvi Vainionkulma<\/strong> were the first players to exit from the final table. They won $13,440 and $20,160 respectively.<\/p>\n

Maksim Shuts<\/strong> banked $27,384 for his fourth-place finish from his home in Belarus, while Joao Vieira\u2019s superb form continued with a third-place finish here. This weighed in at $37,800.<\/p>\n

Heads-up pitted Farid Jattin<\/strong> and Kristoffer Edberg<\/strong> in a battle for the top prize. The duo decided to end the tournament prematurely via a deal. The deal saw Jattin finish second and collect $68,360 and Edberg become a WPT champion with $69,086 reasons to be delighted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
