Ryan Daut came close to victory in Event #40 while yet more UK players made final tables. Here are the results of WCOOP 40 – 45.

PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker begins Sunday
September is always our favourite month of the year in the poker world, and not just because Poker in the Park begins in just three days’ time. In addition to the WSOPE and the EPT London we also have the PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker that begins this Sunday with three huge events.
Isildur1 swings and misses as Ilari Sahamies wins big

He cleaned out Viktor “Isildur1” Blom in a high stakes heads-up Omaha session, winning almost $500,000.

Isildur1 has a crazy weekend at PokerStars
Isildur1 kicked off his weekend at PokerStars just about as well as anyone can hope to. On Friday he played German PLO specialist “mTw-DaviN” at a few tables of $25/$50 heads-up, winning around $60,000 in less than three hours. That saw him take a short break (unheard of, we know) before taking on old nemesis Rui Cao aka PepperoniF.
“all in 2526” goes all-in around 2,526 times for Sunday Million.
OK, he probably didn’t go all-in 2,526 times but it can’t be too far off. The Sunday Million on PokerStars yesterday attracted 6,383 players to give us a prize pool of more than seven figures as well as a first place prize touching on $200,000. With 987 players paid, even making the money was just the start of another large-field tournament.
