Players from all around the world fighting it out for elite titles and large prizes, the 2024 World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) has been nothing less than amazing. Of these players, one name really sticks out: “FAL1st.” Renowned for his extraordinary abilities, especially in mixed games, “FAL1st” has just won his fifth WCOOP title of 2024, so augmenting his overall WCOOP career totals to an amazing eight.
Another Win for “FAL1st”
Winning the WCOOP 113-H: $530 NLHE 7-Max Hyper-Turbo Mystery Supersonic event on September 29, “FAL1st” put still another feather on his cap. With 393 competitors, this tournament promised a prize money of $ 201,991. Though the competition was intense, “FAL1st” once more proved his ability under duress, winning $21,212.
The type of the competition adds even more significance to this victory. With secret prizes on the line, the secret Supersonic format adds even more thrills. Vitalijs “zavor” Zavorotnijs, who came in tenth place, obtained a large $20,000 mystery bounty before being eliminated; it was “FAL1st” who survived all to take the title. Notably, Andreas “MrAndreeew” Berggren from Sweden, who came third, also left with one of the two $10,000 mystery bounties.
“FAL1st” squared up against Brazilian gamer Geraldo “GeraldoCesar” Neto in the last bout. Neto fought valiantly, and “FAL1st” came out on top to add still another title to his already remarkable resume.

An Account of Domancy in History
Although “FAL1st” has taken front stage at WCOOP final tables, his supremacy is rather recent. 2021 saw his first WCOOP triumph as he prevailed in a $109 NL 2-7 Single Draw event. He later on in the year added another victory in a $109 Six-Plus Hold’em tournament. The Thai player had a quiet year in 2022, but in 2023 he recovered better than ever.
Rising from a $1,050 FLO8 6-Max tournament, “FAL1st” captured his third WCOOP title in 2023. With this triumph, a spectacular run that has extended through 2024 started. He has as far in 2024 four additional WCOOP titles: wins in a $1,050 NL 2-7 Single Draw tournament, a $1,050 8-Game 6-Max event, and a $2,100 NLO8 PKO. His most recent triumph in the $530 NLHE 7-Max Hyper-Turbo Mystery tournament has solidified his reputation as among WCOop’s most gifted players.
