Action-packed WCOOP weekend at PokerStars

By Erik Sylven

The World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) continues at PokerStars, and more than $1.5 million was handed out over the weekend. Player antroff of Sweden scored the biggest win when he took home $117,175 in Event 13, $530 Pot-Limit Texas Hold'em.

More than 1,000 people entered Event 13, which saw the longest and toughest heads-up match so far of the 2007 WCOOP. antroff faced player betgo of the United States, and the battle was full of drama and exciting poker action.

No deal was made, meaning that the difference between first and second place was $50,000. Antroff eventually took command of the game, and in the last hand his flopped top pair was enough to seal the deal.
