The World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP), which was held by PokerStars two weeks ago, was won by a player whose victory has been the focus of many rumors.
After investigation, the poker room concluded that the win was illegitimate and disqualified the player, names "TheV0id". The new winner is the former 2nd place winner, "Ka$ino", who won $1.378 million instead of the $530,000 he won for being 2nd place.
The investigation into the WCOOP Main Event has now been concluded.
We have determined, based on the totality of evidence that the tournament winner “TheV0id” was in breach of the PokerStars Terms of Service.
In the interests of Game Integrity, “TheV0id” has been disqualified from first place.
All other WCOOP Main Event prizewinners in addition to the player who originally bubbled in 415th place will therefore advance one place in the prize pool. The necessary financial adjustments to reflect the revised tournament places will be made within the next 24 hours.
Please note that we are unable to release further details of this investigation, for reasons of confidentiality and privacy.
