Weekend Review: WCOOP continues with a primary for Lrslszk and a 3rd for mikal12345

Sometimes a username becomes something greater than just log-in. It becomes a catchword that suggests much more.

Take "Lrslzk" for example. On screen it seems like a rushed username, created to alleviate the landlord from taking into account something more meaningful. It will easily has been "plkilfk" or "trtipoi", the primary keys your fingers land on.

But some time ago Lrslzk began winning so often that his username needed to be spoken out loud, in addition to just read. So the crumped Lrslzk was stretched out with the assistance of a couple of vowels, becoming "lars-lu-zack", quickly entering the poker lexicon.

Sami "Lrslzk" Kelopuro

It can be used often, and still is. Reminiscent of now, this weekend after Event #20 of WCOOP, won by Sami "Lrslzk" Kelopuro*.

Kelopuro already has previous in the case of 'COOPs. Winless he was in WCOOP until this weekend perhaps, but he had two SCOOP titles to his name, including the news 2011 Main Event. He has other stand out performances also, including a great High Roller appearance by which he made "that fold", making what looks like an impossible lay down.

But this weekend it was a more aggressive demonstration of his talents. Arriving on the final fourth in chips he would go directly to eliminate six of his eight opponents, which historically has proven a great technique to win big. Read the entire report of Kelopuro's win to look for yourself.Elsewhere there have been other highlights, including a 3rd WCOOP win for Mikal "mikal12345" Blomlie.

A third WCOOP title for Mikal "mikal12345" Blomlie

The Norwegian Blomlie, who was WCOOP Player of the Year in 2012, topped a field of 7,801 to win Event #19, including a last table that featured Timothy Weygang" English, who Blomlie would defeat heads-up to earn a chopped top payout of $109,566.28
