Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of prize money was won on Wednesday night with much more up for grabs over the rest of the 2020 PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP). There were titles for Ludovic Geilich and Chris Oliver, as reported in the PokerNews Live Reporting Hub, with Dutchman Noah Boeken picking up the third WCOOP title of his career.

Nine tournaments will conclude on Thursday night, with nine more tournaments starting including the $1m GTD WCOOP 16-H: $10,300 NLHE [8-Max, Progressive KO, High Roller].

Ludovic "ludovi333" Geilich Wins Second WCOOP Title in WCOOP-10-H: $10,300 NLHE [8-Max, High Roller] ($238,966)

After an intense heads-up battle of over ninety minutes, Ludovic "ludovi333" Geilich defeated German wizard Ole "wizowizo" Schemion heads-up in WCOOP-10-H: $10,300 NLHE [8-Max, High Roller] to claim the top prize of $238,966.

Both had one WCOOP title to their name from previous years and it was Geilich that doubled his tally. Back in 2016, the Scotsman topped a field of 93 entries in the $21,000 PL Omaha [6-Max, High-Roller] which came with a top prize of $462,182.

While Geilich entered the final day as the chip leader, it wasn't an easy ride to victory by any means as he had to overcome a tough line-up including some of the biggest names in the world of live and online poker.

Chris "Big Huni" Hunichen went from one of the shortest stacks to dominating chip leader for a decent portion of the final day but his bid of a repeat victory ended in third place.

Another player winning a second WCOOP title was Chris "ImDaNuts" Oliver after winning the WCOOP-10-M: $1,050 NLHE Super Tuesday. Oliver won his first title in 2018 for $250,935, and added an extra $149,968 last night after agreeing to a deal heads-up with "gardze_wami" who claimed $133,242 for finishing in second place.

Oliver has also won a SCOOP before with his biggest online score earned when he finished second in the 2012 TCOOP Main Event for $285,311. With millions won online and almost $2,000,000 live according to The Hendon Mob, the American, who resides in Costa Rica, has added a nice amount to his bankroll at the start of this year's WCOOP series.
