Three buy-ins produced three different Main Event champions at WCOOP 2026. Felipe “lipe piv” Boianovsky won the $10,300 High, Alejandro “[Papo]AR” Lococo took the $1,050 Medium, and “ihor888888” won the $109 Low. All three ran from September 27–30: the Main Event label does not describe a single shared field.
Boianovsky adds the other High Main Event title
The $10,300 tournament drew 289 entries and a $2,890,000 prize pool. Boianovsky earned $551,632, ahead of “13santoy13” on $412,914 and Dan “NukeTheFish!” Wilson on $309,079.
Boianovsky had already won the SCOOP High Main Event in 2023. PokerStars identifies him as the first player to win both the SCOOP and WCOOP High Main Events. The distinction concerns those specific High Main Events, rather than any title at any buy-in across the two series.
Lococo wins the 2,310-entry Medium
Lococo's first WCOOP title came in the $1,050 event. Its 2,310 entries generated $2,310,000, with $343,242 going to the champion. “Goodarla” finished second for $244,673, and “jorginho88” collected $174,412 in third.
Entries, the total prize pool and an individual payout measure different things. A single tournament result does not establish a player's long-term profitability, while an entry list cannot establish how many accounts were online simultaneously.
The Low supplies the biggest field
The $109 event attracted 14,533 entries and a $1,453,300 prize pool. “ihor888888” won $172,022, with runner-up “shanyji” receiving $122,611.
The Low had the most entries; the High awarded the largest first prize. Those outcomes reflect different buy-in structures and should not be combined into an undefined ranking of the “biggest” Main Event. The three titles are now settled, with September 30 retained as the tournament closing date rather than the date of this October 2 briefing.
