The TCOOP motor is in full spin with 27 of the 50 events played out and a staggering $11,265,986.55 won, but that elusive Triple COOP and Grand Slam is yet to be claimed. Among those putting pedal to metal the most yesterday was PSMozak who won TCOOP-24 for $24,436.71. That win not only boosted his tournament winnings at PokerStars to $722,719 but gave him 100 Player of the Series points and a leg up into third place on the TCOOP leader board.
The Bulgarian may have beat Brazilian Gustavo 'PIUlimeira' Goto into second place for $18,364.40, but the South American is still ahead in lifetime tournament winnings at PokerStars with $1,362,216, a healthy chunk of which ($334,448) was won just a few months ago in WCOOP-44: $2,100 NLHE.
Among the other final table finishers danylaroo2 reprised his nearly-man role with a sixth-place finish for ($4,028). There have been some big money close shaves before with a runner-up spot for $50,605 to Dan 'Lenny' Heimiller and a $40,192 Sunday Million final table last summer. Surely a big win will be added to danylaroo2's CV at some point soon.
The big question is whether one will be added to yours? Check below for today's events, those key deadline satellite qualifiers as well as the results from yesterday's TCOOP events. And you can click here for
