Felipe Boianovsky Completes a Historic Online Poker Double
Brazil's Felipe Boianovsky has carved out a unique place in online poker history, becoming the first player ever to win both the SCOOP and WCOOP $10K Main Events on PokerStars — two of the most prestigious titles in the online tournament calendar.
What Makes This So Significant?
The Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) and the World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) are widely regarded as the flagship online series for high-stakes tournament players. The $10K Main Event in each series attracts some of the strongest fields in the online game, drawing elite regulars and live-tournament crossovers alike. Claiming one of these titles is a career-defining achievement — claiming both is something no one had managed before Boianovsky.
A New Benchmark for Online MTT Excellence
What separates this achievement is not just the prize money involved, but the consistency and mental stamina it takes to navigate two separate deep runs across different series and different seasons. The two victories together mark Boianovsky as arguably the most accomplished player in the history of these specific events.
For the broader online poker community, this sets a compelling new benchmark: a player from South America — a region with a rapidly growing and highly competitive poker scene — now holds the most coveted double in online MTT history.
Looking Ahead
It will be fascinating to watch whether Boianovsky can extend his dominance to other major series, or whether another player will eventually match this particular double. For now, Brazilian poker fans have plenty to celebrate.
