Daniel 'Allanon85' Drescher -- 2nd Place FinisherThe $5,000 buy-in 2013 PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) main event drew a field of 2,133 entrants, creating a total prize pool of $10,665,000. The field size was 308 players larger than the year prior.

After two days of play, it all came down to a final table dominated by Germans. In fact, the top three players all hailed from Germany and decided on a deal that would make each of them millionaires.

A total of 243 players were paid a minimum of $12,798. Notables such as Andrey “Kroko-dill” Zaichenko (11th), Jon “PearlJammer” Turner (15th), Chris “SLOPPYKLOD” Klodnicki (21st) and Jason “TheMasterJ33” Dewitt (27th) all made deep runs at the final table before falling just short.

Other notables at the final table included Stefan “Vampyboy” Kolossow (ninth), Leon “flippetyflop” Louis (eighth), Dylan “PokerI)eviL” Hortin (seventh), Shane “shaniac” Schleger (sixth) and Giuseppe “1M.BanKroLL” Polichetti (fourth).

After Polichetti’s elimination in fourth place, the remaining three players, SwissCantMis, PlayinWasted and Daniel “Allanon85” Drescher all decided on a deal that would award each of them at least seven figures, with $160,000 left over to play for. After more than an hour of action, it was PlayinWasted who came out on top when his ASpade SuitKSpade Suit bested Drescher’s KClub SuitQSpade Suit all in preflop.
