2022 WSOP Online: Simon Mattsson ships Main Event, Kannapong Thanarattrakul 2nd, Feng Zhao 3rd; two golds for Claas Segebrecht; Ewald Mahr wins first for Peru

On August 14 to September 27, Natural8-GGNet was buzzing with action as players hunted down World Series of Poker Online bracelets. Last night, the festival concluded with the highly coveted Main Event title and gold claimed by Swedish online star Simon Eric Mattsson for a monster takedown of $2.79 Million. Also walking away with life changing seven figures were runner up Thai pro Kannapong Thanarattrakul “Sakooh”, Singapore’s Feng Zhao “dynastyzhao” (3rd), and Finland’s Samuel Vousden (4th).

The 2022 WSOP Online [International] awarded a total of 33 bracelets across 45 days. The opening half saw Pete Chen and Jonas Lauck capture career second golds while Markus Prinz and Scott Ball Jr were the first to collect seven figures.

The second half witnessed the rise of Germany’s Claas Segebrecht who was the only player to win two bracelet events at the series. In fact, Germany came out very strong, picking up a whopping six titles, the most by any flag. Other players that outshined were China’s Ren Lin “Zha Zi Long” who matched up to Segebrecht with four final tables, and Ewald Mahr who gave Peru its first ever WSOP gold bracelet. 

Here are the highlights of the second half.

Highlights and results

Swedish online star Simon Mattsson ships the Main Event for $2.79 Million

Coming into the final table, Swedish online star Simon Eric Mattsson was a big favorite to win the Main Event and he didn’t disappoint. Mattsson eliminated the last two players blocking his way, Singapore’s Feng Zhao (3rd) and Thailand’s Kannapong Thanarattrakul (runner up) to seize the title, the coveted gold bracelet, and the series’ largest first prize of US$ 2,793,574. 

wsopmainwinWinning hand

In its third consecutive year, the WSOP Online [International] Main Event drew 4,984 entries to more than exceed the proposed $20M guarantee. From the nine qualifying heats, 815 players advanced for a chance at the now bloated US$ 23,674,000 prize pool. 500 players earned a cut, among the top 100 were well known pros and Asia-Pacific players: 2020 champion Damian Salas, Yuri Dzivielevski (85th), Ren Lin (82nd), newly minted David Yan (79th), Hun Wei Lee (59th), Niklas Astedt (29th), and Joseph Cheong who missed the final table by two spots in 11th place.

The final table rolled in with one bracelet holder in Samuel Vousden who was seeking his second gold while all the rest were looking to secure their first. Three Asians were in the lineup – Thanarattrakul, Zhao, and China’s Yanfei Chi. Up top was Mattsson with a sizable chip advantage.

Early action was dominated by the Asians with Zhao sending shortest stacked Timothy Rutherford out in 9th place. Thanarattrakul delivered the next two, Oliver James Sprason (8th) and Jordan Spurlin (7th) eliminated in back to back fashion. Zhao nearly joined the rail but got extremely lucky when his JsJd spiked the two outer to survive Chi’s QsQd. The loss sent Chi plunging with the rest of his chips eventually claimed by Vousden.

At five remaining, Istvan Briski risked it holding Ks8s but ran aground to Zhao’s AdAc. In a stunning move, Vousden three-bet shoved on the big blind with 6d6c and initial raiser button player Thanarattrakul called with AsJs. The board favored the suited cards as it quickly spread three spades on the flop. Vousden was out 4th and claimed the first seven digit payout of US$ 1,178,040. This was Vousden’s largest ever career score.

With the added chips, Thanarattrakul zoomed to the chip lead however it didn’t last. Mattsson scooped a big pot against Zhao with a full house over top pair to regain command and send Zhao out in 3rd place shortly after. This was another impressive result for Zhao who earned his first ever seven figure payout of US$ 1,570,941. Last November, he nearly locked up a bracelet at the WSOPE falling runner up at the PLO 8-Handed event.

It was a one-sided heads up. Despite Thanarattrakul’s attempts, Mattsson maintained his lead and widened further until the final hand was tabled. On a board 10s7c4h3c7h, Thanarattrakul shoved on the river holding Jc10c top pair, Mattsson had him way beat with a victorious 5c6c straight. The gold may have slipped away but Thanarattrakul still earned a mammoth chunk of US$ 2,094,884, well surpassing his recent 3rd place finish at the Triton SHR Series Cyprus $50K NLH 6-Handed where he pocketed a then career high $646,500. As for the champion Mattsson, he bumped up his GGNet tournament winnings to over $10.8 Million.

Undoubtedly one of the top performers of the series was Germany’s Claas Segebrecht, the only player to lock up two bracelets. On opening day, Segebrecht championed Event #2: Every1 for War Relief for his first ever career bracelet, then weeks later at closing, he topped Event #31: Beat the Pros Bounty [Freezeout]. Each win earned him six figures for a combined US$ 264,167.

The largest of the two payouts was at the later event where he eliminated multiple players to collect US$ 107,670 in bounty rewards and an extra US$ 54,315 for his win. Among Segebrecht’s knockouts were Matheus Luis (8th) with pocket Aces cracked by a rivered two pair, Shenqiang Peng “Peng888” (3rd) with pocket Fours cracking Tens, and Naomie Haddad (2nd) with pocket Nines holding firm against overcards.  In addition, the two-time champion also reached two other final tables falling 5th at the Flip & GO and 3rd at CRAZY EIGHTS.

Aside from two time series winner Segebrecht, China’s Ren Lin “Zha Zi Long” also closed out the series with four final tables and nearly won one of them. On opening week, Lin finished 8th at Event #3: $2,500 Limit Holdém Championship, two weeks later, he placed 7th at Event #15: $777 Lucky Sevens Bounty 7-Handed NLH, then five days after, he raced up to 2nd place at Event #19: $5K Pot Limit Omaha Championship. His fourth final table was at Event #26: $1K Double Chance NLH where he took 9th. Whether it’s live or online, Lin seems to be due for a WSOP title. In 2021, he came close to a bracelet twice, finishing 2nd at the $50K High Roller NLH and 3rd at the $5K Freezeout NLH 8-Handed.

Germany lifts the most bracelets

German players meant business at the series, capturing six of the 33 bracelets on offer. Setting the trend were opening day winners  Stefan Schillhabel who shipped Event #1: The Housewarming No Limit Hold’em and Claas Segebrecht who championed Event #2: Every1 for War Relief. These were career first bracelets for both players. Days later, countryman Jonas Lauck followed with a victory at Event #6: Monster Stack NLH to earn his career second. The fourth gold was picked up at one of the most sought after events, The Millionaire Maker, with Markus Prinz bringing it home along with a burning seven digit payout. On closing week, Segebrecht clinched his second bracelet at Event #31: Beat the Pros Bounty [Freezeout] and Marc Radgen “Pelinkovac89” was minted at Event #32: The Closer NLH.

Asia Winners and runner-ups

Asian players were big threats at many of the events. Nine of them faced off for the gold with only two players rising victorious. Highly decorated N8 Team Hot ambassador Yenhan Chen aka Pete Chen was the first to rein it in. Chen brought Taiwan its fourth gold bracelet which he locked up at Event #15: $777 Lucky Sevens Bounty 7-Handed NLH. This was Chen’s career second WSOP title.

The second Asian champion emerged at Event #21: Ladies No Limit Hold’em Championship. Hong Kong’s Huanhua Long “King-Dong” went the distance defeating the more experienced Canadian pro Vanessa Kade ”Niffler” at heads up. This was Long’s first ever WSOP victory following in the footsteps of two time winner Anson Tsang, Danny Tang, and Chan Lok Ming.

After nine years of hunting, Canadian pro Mark Radoja finally locked up his career third WSOP bracelet. Radoja won his first series gold back at the 2011 WSOP $5K NLH Shootout event which he followed up with another win two years later at the 2013 WSOP $10K NLH Heads Up Championship. Since then, he has been chasing gold #3, and nearly secured it at the 2019 WSOP $888 Crazy Eights event where he placed 2nd. In 2021, Radoja came close again, landing two WSOP Online final tables. Last week, his hopes of glory finally materialized with a victory at Event #27: Fifty Stack Bounty NLH. With this win, Radoja has breached $3 Million in WSOP earnings. 

DJR 8240Shardul Parthasarathi

The Fifty Stack Bounty NLH was the 27th bracelet event on the roster. 1,597 jumped in for a prize pool generating US$ 2,275,725. Radoja was the only WSOP decorated player at the final table. Two players from Asia were among the finalists: India’s Shardul Parthasarathi with an 8th place finish and Hong Kong’s Fengli He in 9th place. This was Shardul’s second deep run having just missed the final table at Event #24: $2,100 Bounty NLH Championship with a 10th place finish.

The COLOSSUS event always brings everyone out of the woodwork and for this edition 10,090 came out to smash the $3M guarantee. Out of the 1,100 players that shaked down the US$ 3,793,840 pot, the prime chunk went to Greek player Ourania Zarkantzia “SlimLady” who turned his $400 buy in into a huge $378,507 payout. Based on Zarkantzia’s GGNet stats, this win seemed destined. Since May 2022, he has been raking in wins across different buy in tiers and field sizes.

Bracelet #24: $2,100 Bounty NLH Championship – HERNAN RESTREPO – US$ 171,121

Hernan Restrepo “Winner51” gave Colombia its second ever WSOP bracelet after winning the two-day $2,100 Bounty No Limit Hold’em Championship. Along with the gold, Restrepo picked up US$ 91,478 and collected US$ 79,643 in bounties for a career high US$ 171,121 payout.

The 24th bracelet event drew a total of 985 entries for a seven figure prize pool of US$ 1,970,000. The top 134 players earned a cut of the main pot. Among the money grabbers were Canadian online high stakes streamer Rayan Chamas “Beriuzy” (32nd) and 2020 WSOP Main Event champion Damian Salas (44th). Day 2 opened with 23 players back on the hunt. In just under two hours, the final table was reached with Asia’s last hope, Shardul Parthasarathi “tiltjam” falling in 10th place for a payout of over US$ 30K. Shardul is one of the fastest rising live tournament players from India.

After four bust outs, which included bracelet holder Gediminas Uselis (7th), Dutch player Duco Olivier Haven “WouldIlieToYOU” went on a rush, eliminating three players in succession to reach heads up against Restrepo. However, Haven’s momentum was put to a halt on a losing flush over flush which in turn gave Restrepo the edge. Restrepo widened the gap to 8:1 then closed it out with Ace-Ten beating King-Nine.
