The bubble boy in the tournament was Bertrand “ElKY” Grospellier. ElKY has had one amazing run during the WCOOP, cashing in at least five events. However, his Poker Stars professional team mate, Andre Akkari, aka akkari, took it all the way to second place. The Brazilian poker player faced DocHolatchya in heads-up play before succumbing to a pair of cowboys in a round of stud.
Here are the results:
1) DocHolatchya - $287,500
2) akkari - $200,000
3) crazyjanie - $150,000
