Ukraine's Roman "RomeOpro" Romanovskyi captured the biggest score of the 2023 WCOOP so far, a cool $203,121. Romanovky's colossal haul will likely be one of the biggest prizes of the entire series.
The Ukrainian received the bankroll-boosting prize after coming out on top in WCOOP 04-H: $10,300 NLHE High Roller, an event that saw 85 entrants create an $850,000 prize pool. Team PokerStars's Lex "L. Veldhuis" Veldhuis narrowly missed out on a final table appearance, crashing out in 10th place for $21,452.
Jans "Graftekkel" Arends' ($26,783) time at the final table proved to be limited, as did that of Tom "7tHEcROw7" Macdonald ($33,440). The untimely demises of "Jesper8" ($43,270) and Aleksejs "APonakov" Ponakovs ($55,991) saw a six-figure score come within touching distance of the surviving players.

Swedish online poker legend Niklas "Lena900" Astedt ($72,451) busted in fifth, with his fellow Swede "flerrhuve" ($93,750) bowing out in fourth and receiving the tournament's last five-figure payout.
Third place ultimately went to Benjamin "bencb789" Rolle ($121,311), before Romanovsky claimed Rodrigo "SELOUAN1991" Selouan's stack and the $203,121 top score. Selouan may have been disappointed not to come away with the victory, but the $156,974 second-place prize will go some way to numbing the pain of defeat.
