Only eight players came back on Monday, September 21st, (springtime for some, and autumn for others), to battle it out ar the Final Table for the most expensive tournamente in the history of online poker: the WCOOP-47: $51,000 Super High Roller organized by PokerStars. Only eight players would fight for the $851,000 meant for the eventual champion, who turned out to be none other than  Nosebleed Cash Games legend, Ben Tollerene  , playing under the username “Ben84” at the red spade room. After making a deal with the player from Spain, Ángel “Cejakas14” Latorre   and Nikita “fish2013” Bodyakovskiy  he took a prize of $616,518,34.

46 of the best players in the world were part of the field and Latinamerica was represented by “Negriin” Lucá , who did not make it to the final stages. Others left behind were Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu , Jason Mercier   and Isaac Haxton ; Viktor “Isildur1” Blom -sw-, Ben Sulsky   and Dan “Danny98765” Smith  .

Aside from the title and the fact that he made history, Ben  also took a beautiful bracelet; you know, one of those that the Latin players have been fighting for, for days.
