The $51,000 buy in, has made the WCOOP’s Super High Roller, the most expensive online tournament in the history of the sport, and Timex, also known as Mike McDonald , is the lead for the 8 finalists that will battle it out to take home $851,000 cash prize that awaits the winner.

A total 46 players paid for this super steep buy-in, only one of them being Latin. We are talking about, Iván Lucá , quite the star at the moment, who sat down to compete against some of the biggest name in poker like, Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu , Jason Mercier , Isaac Haxton  y Alexander Millar ; Dan Colman , Ole Schemion , Dzmitry Urbanovich  y Viktor Blom , to name a few, under the screen name uno Negriin. Unfortunately, our hopes of seeing   “Negriin”  at the Final Table were cut short, when he placed 29th.

Ok, now if you can settle for someone who speaks Spanish, then we have a candidate for you! Spanish player, Ángel Latorre , better known as Cejakas14, and current resident of the UK, is actually second in chips, following the Canadian Timex.
