Alejandro Lococo Wins 2026 WCOOP Main Event
CoinPoker ambassador banks $343,242 in PokerStars' flagship online tournament series.
Alejandro Lococo claimed the 2026 World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) Main Event title, banking $343,242, according to Card Player (published October 2, 2026).
Why It Matters
The win carries direct relevance for crypto poker players: Lococo serves as a CoinPoker Ambassador, meaning his WCOOP victory hands the crypto-native poker platform a marquee marketing asset at a moment when blockchain-based card rooms compete hard against PokerStars' established WCOOP brand. A $343,242 cash score by a sponsored pro validates CoinPoker's ambassador recruitment strategy and will likely accelerate player acquisition campaigns heading into Q4 2026. For recreational players, it signals that CoinPoker-affiliated players compete — and win — at the highest levels of online tournament poker. Gambling always carries financial risk; results like Lococo's are exceptional, not typical.
Context
WCOOP is PokerStars' annual flagship online tournament series, widely regarded as the most prestigious in online poker. Lococo's Main Event victory adds a top-tier title to his résumé and marks a notable crossover moment: a sponsored ambassador of a crypto poker platform winning the crown jewel event on the industry's dominant legacy platform.
What's Next
Watch for CoinPoker to announce promotional tie-ins or deposit bonuses capitalizing on Lococo's win through October 2026. Lococo's next likely target is the PokerStars Players Championship or equivalent high-roller circuit event in the coming months.
