Only five events concluded on Day 1 of the 2024 PokerStars WCOOP, with 13 others progressing to their respective Day 2s. One of the completed events, WCOOP 02-M: $55 NLHE WCOOP Kickoff, awarded the largest prize of the opening day.
A bumper crowd of 4,256 players created a $226,300 prize pool, and "Sintoras" helped themselves to the lion's share of that pot. Their latest in a long line of victories came with a $32,247 payout, gifting "Sintoras" plenty of ammunition for the upcoming WCOOP events.
