Today in our online article, we take a look at two big online festivals taking place at two different online gaming sites. One will be the popular World Championship of Online Poker and the other will be the WSOP Online.

The WCOOP kicked off just a few days ago and we already have some interesting winners. We'll start with the name Lex Veldhuis, who took down the WCOOP 09-H: $5,200 NLHE Bounty Builder SHR last night with 89 entries and a prizepool of $445,000. Lex was the winner here, which earned him his first WCOOP title and $130,081 to go with it.

Another familiar name is Samuel "go4gunners" Mullur, who also won a WCOOP title. Samuel played the WCOOP 02-H: $530 NLHE with 450 entries and a prizepool of $225,000, where he took home $40,400.

On top of that, he added another $48,435 for his third-place finish in the WCOOP 03-H: $1,050 NLHE Mystery Warm-Up with 284 entries and a $300,000 prizepool.

Another player who took home a WCOOP title is Christopher "lissi stinkt" Frank. He dominated the WCOOP 05-H: $1,050 PLO with an entries of 173 and a prizepool of $173,000. Frank took home $34,505 for the win.

We now move on to WSOP Online, where we'll remember names like Leonard Maue, Ole Schemion, and once again Samuel Mullur. We'll start with Samuel Mullur, who took home a total of $84,441 from the five tournaments in this series, bringing his total to $173,276 with the WCOOP.

Next up is Ole Schemion, who took home a total of $130,949 from five tournaments. Leonard Maue won't be missing from the list either, taking home $59,659 for his second place finish in the $5,250 Bounty Hunters SHR.
