Dante Goya Holds Narrow Lead Heading into WCOOP $10,300 Main Event Final Table
Dante Goya leads the $10,300 WCOOP Main Event final table from a 289-player field, with $551,632 up top. Jorge Abreu leads the $1,050 tier and wes345 the $109 event. Multiple past champions feature across all three tables set for completion tonight.
SCCG Take — These final tables confirm sustained demand for branded high-stakes online events, supplying operators with clear data on retention and prize elasticity in competitive poker markets.
The final tables for the PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker Main Events are now set across low, medium, and high tiers. Dante Goya holds a slim chip lead in the flagship $10,300 World Championship of NLHE, according to reporting by PokerNews.
From a starting field of 289 players, nine remain. Each has locked up $62,089, with the winner set to receive $551,632. Goya last won a WCOOP title in 2025. Thomas Boivin has not claimed one since 2021. Felipe Boianovsky secured his lone WCOOP title 12 years ago but took down the SCOOP Main Event in 2023 for over $1 million.
Rayan Chamas enters with six WCOOP titles already this year and seeks a seventh. Dan Wilson earned his first two titles in the current series for combined cashes exceeding $70,000. One finalist, known as “What0ver9000,” arrives without a prior WCOOP win. Deep runs included Jorge Abreu in tenth for $53,077, Simon Mattsson in 12th for $45,374, Blaz Zerjav in 15th for $38,788, and Andy Wilson in 21st for $33,158.
Abreu Leads Medium Tier Final Table
Jorge Abreu carries the chip lead into the $1,050 NLHE Main Event final table, seven months after winning the EPT Paris Main Event. His only previous WCOOP title dates to 2016, when he earned $304,880. A victory tonight would pay $343,242 after the locked $22,882 min-cash. Alejandro Lococo sits third in chips. Júlio Fantin is the sole other prior WCOOP winner at the table, from a 2024 event.
Low Tier Final Table Features Short Stacks and Title Holders
“wes345” holds a commanding chip lead at the $109 NLHE Main Event final table. The nine players have each secured $11,467, with $172,022 reserved for first place. Only two finalists own previous WCOOP titles: “dfranco13” and Nils Pudel, whose wins both came in 2023. Pudel placed sixth in the 2023 WSOP Europe Main Event and faces a short stack tonight. Action across all three tables concludes later with six-figure scores and major titles at stake.
