The three No-Limit Hold’em Main Events of WCOOP 2026 finished within the same few days and paid $1,066,896 to their three winners between them. PokerNews published all three payout tables on October 1. The records on the ledger carry them in full, with the final day recorded as September 30 from the report’s timing; the article did not state the date, and the records say so.
$10,300 High: Boianovsky, $551,632
Felipe “lipe piv” Boianovsky of Brazil beat a 289-entry field for $551,632 and a prize pool just shy of $2.9 million, defeating Canada’s Santiago “13santoy13” Plante heads-up. Plante took $412,914. Dan “NukeTheFish!” Wilson of the United Kingdom was third for $309,079, Dante “dantegoyaF” Goya of Brazil fourth for $231,355 and Teun “tinnoemulder” Mulder of Austria fifth for $173,177. Pablo “pabritz” Brito Silva ($129,628), Thomas “MarToMchat” Boivin ($97,031), Rayan “Beriuzy” Chamas ($72,631) and What0ver9000 ($62,089) completed the table.
Boianovsky won the $10,300 SCOOP Main Event in June 2023 for $1,036,200, and PokerStars says he is the first player to hold both High Main Event titles. The 2023 prize was nearly twice this one, which says more about the fields than the player: 289 entries at the top tier in 2026 against a larger field three years earlier.
$1,050 Medium: Lococo, $343,242
Alejandro “[Papo]AR” Lococo of Argentina won the Medium tier from 2,310 entries, a prize pool of more than $2.3 million against a $2,000,000 guarantee. He won the last hand with queen-four against Goodarla’s ten-seven; the Irish runner-up collected $244,673. Jorge “jorginho88” Abreu finished third for $174,412, listed as Austria in the payout table and called Portuguese in the article text; the record keeps the table’s country and notes the conflict. feedme12 of Canada was fourth ($124,327), calldeKhig of Brazil fifth ($88,624), paco_cska20 of Bulgaria sixth ($63,174), Timmy_Twitch of Austria seventh ($45,033), Carboneraa of Brazil eighth ($32,101) and Júlio “JúlioFantin” Fantin of Brazil ninth ($22,882).
$109 Low: ihor888888, $172,022
The Low tier drew 14,533 entries for a $1,453,300 prize pool, well past its $1.25 million guarantee, with more than 2,000 players paid. ihor888888 of Ukraine came to the final table sixth in chips and beat Hungary’s shanyji heads-up; shanyji took $122,611. Pitkulaine88 of Finland was third ($87,401), wes345 of Ukraine fourth ($62,303), Jigen09 of Finland fifth ($44,412), johnnysouza11 of Brazil sixth ($31,658), dfranco13 of Brazil seventh ($22,567), bettoBR of Brazil eighth ($16,087) and Nils “pudelpower” Pudel of Austria ninth ($11,467).
Three tiers, one event
Read side by side, the three tables are a cross-section of the online game. Fifty times the buy-in between Low and High; fifty times fewer entries; a first prize 3.2 times larger. The High final has real names in quotes for seven of nine seats, because the press knows the players; the Low final has one. The Medium tier is where the biggest pool sat this year, because 2,310 entries at $1,050 is more money than 289 at $10,300.
All three are on the ledger with their full payouts and PokerNews as the source. The PLO Main Events, which finished around the same time, are carried separately from the series release of October 8, and the Medium and Low PLO results were not in the sources on file.
