Artur Martirosian The PokerStars World Championship Of Online Poker (WCOOP) Take 2 has crowned half of its planned champions, and the mini-series has produced some incredible results. Since kicking off on November 5, two PokerStars players have stood out from the crowd, a certain Artur “mararthur1” Martirosian and the United Kingdom’s mixed game specialist Benny “RunGodlike” Glaser .
Glaser triumphed in the $11 buy-in NLO8 event and took home $2,334, which is one of the smaller scores of Glaser’s career, most of which has been spent grinding high stakes. Glaser followed up that victory by taking down the $1,050 H.O.R.S.E. event for $19,107.
