Johannes Straver Wins Back-to-Back WCOOP Super Tuesday Titles

Johannes “Jepser8” Straver has pulled off a rare WCOOP double by winning back-to-back Super Tuesday High Rollers, adding another $90,420 to a remarkable fortnight on PokerStars.

The Dutch pro, who plays from Austria, beat a 67-entry field in WCOOP 49-H: $5,200 Super Tuesday High Roller. He defeated Guillaume “Nolet20” Nolet heads-up, one week after banking $106,622 in the special $10,300 Super Tuesday High Roller.

Straver Makes It Two Super Tuesdays in a Row

Winning one WCOOP high roller is hard enough when the field is packed with elite online regulars. Doing it again the following week, in another Super Tuesday, is the sort of heater that stands out even in a series where multiple champions have been popping up almost daily.

Straver’s latest victory was worth $90,420. Nolet collected $67,695 as runner-up, while Brazil’s Rodrigo “SELOUAN1991” Selouan took $50,682 for third.

The 67-entry field was considerably larger than the 23-entry $10K event Straver won seven days earlier. That earlier score came to $106,622, meaning his two Super Tuesday victories alone have produced $197,042 in prize money during this WCOOP.

WCOOP 2026 Has Become a Multiple-Title Race

Straver is far from the only player stacking trophies this month. Niklas Astedt won two WCOOP titles in two days, while Renan Bruschi reached 11 career WCOOP titles after collecting his second victory of the 2026 series.

At the very top of the historical leaderboard, Benny Glaser extended his record to 17 WCOOP titles. Straver is operating in different territory on the all-time list, but his form over the last two Tuesdays puts him among the standout high-stakes performers of this year’s festival.

A High-Roller Win With Real Depth

The headline number is the $90,420 first prize, but the quality of the field says more about the result. Nolet, Selouan, Enrico Camosci, Andras Nemeth, Pavel Plesuv and Andrey Novak all reached the business end, giving the final table the look of a regular high-stakes online reg battle rather than a soft payday.

That is what makes consecutive Super Tuesday titles particularly notable. Variance is savage in small high-roller fields, and even the best players can go a long time without closing one out. Straver has now done it twice in quick succession against line-ups where almost every table is difficult.

What Comes Next at WCOOP?

WCOOP 2026 continues through September 30, so Straver still has time to chase a third title before the series ends. The schedule remains packed with high buy-in no-limit hold’em, mixed games and championship events, giving the serial grinders plenty more chances to add another trophy.

For now, Straver has already secured one of the cleaner back-to-back achievements of the series. Two Super Tuesdays, two wins and almost $200,000 in combined first-place money is a serious fortnight, even by WCOOP standards.
