And the star attraction of the series, fixing numerous eyes was the WSOPC Online Main Event $5 million GTD that garnered a monstrous field of 9,779 runners through multiple flights and at the end of the intense grinding session, ‘schimmelgodx’ took home the biggest title for an incredible $1.27 million cash prize.

The Main Event also attracted a few Indian players as well and ‘Igutu’ finished 3rd bringing home $617K which is so far the biggest ever online tournament win by any player in the country.
