Patrick Serda hit the biggest online tournament score of his career on Monday after winning the WCOOP K High Roller (PokerStars photo)

Patrick Serda was a pretty busy guy this weekend. On Saturday, he played Day 1B of the World Cup of Cards main event in Montreal and managed to end the day with an above average stack. On Sunday, he played Day 1 of the $10,000 buy-in World Championship of Online Poker High Roller on PokerStars and ended the day with the chip lead.

On Monday he closed one out and moved on to Day 3 in the other. Serda beat out 243 other players to win WCOOP Event #82 High ($10,300 No Limit Hold’em High Roller) for $469,190.91.


He eventually finished Day 3 of the WCC event with an above average stack.

To win his second WCOOP title, Serda had to beat out a final table that included two players who have already won WCOOP titles this year, ‘KumariOy’, who won Event #3, and Jens ‘Fresh_oO_D’ Lakemeier, who won Event #23 on Sunday. He also had to outlast Andres ‘Educa-p0ker’ Artinano and Martin ‘nizmo jiz’ Kozlov.

Serda’s win was one of four WCOOP titles handed out on Monday. The other three events were all “Special Edition” versions of the usual PokerStars Sunday Majors.

‘OMGACEACEACE‘ won just over $78,000 for winning Event #25 High ($215 Sunday Kickoff Special Edition). ‘Rafal1337‘ finished second for $35,380.81 in earnings plus an additional $12,225.86 in bounties.

Poland’s ‘wiciu777‘ started the final table of Event #26 High ($1,050 Sunday Warm-Up Special Edition) with the smallest stack but that didn’t matter as he worked his way through a final table that included the likes Jordan ‘JWPRODIGY’ Westmorland, former WCOOP winner ‘nilsef‘ and Oscar ‘MendaLerenda’ Serradell to win his first WCOOP title and $222,246.70. Serradell took home $158,521.65.

Nick ‘PureCash25’ Rampone won Event #27 High ($530 Sunday Million Special Edition) for $256,502.18. Alexandre Rivero finished second for $181,373.35.
