Swedish player Niklas Astedt will celebrate his 34th birthday next month, and in that time he has already won more than $48 million in online tournaments under his "Lena900" nickname. He's added to that with more than $7 million in live tournament winnings, and this year he finished third in the WSOP Main Event, which earned him $4,000,000.
Niklas holds multiple WCOOP and SCOOP titles and shows us his quality every single day. He is considered to be the best online player of all time. He has now added two more WCOOP titles to his list and he managed to win them in just one night. He surpassed Parker Talbot who won two titles in three days. Niklas won his first title by winning the $1,050 NLHE Sunday Kickoff with 248 entries and a prize pool of $248,000. He took home a $47,687 prize for the win.
The second title came on the same night and was won in a 5-Card PLO (6-Max) tournament with a buy-in of $2,100, a field of 114 entries and a prizepool of $228,000. He cashed for that win for $51,256, so those two wins alone put $98,944 in his account.
To make matters worse, Niklas also made it to the final day of the $2,100 NLHE (7-Max, Bounty Builder SHR) with 185 entries and a prizepool of $370,000, where he'll be battling it out for another WCOOP title. Today's final table will feature 22 players and Niklas will start with the third largest stack. There is $32,251 plus bounties awaiting the winner.
