When it comes to online poker, few series carry the same weight and prestige as the World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP).

Since its launch on PokerStars in 2002, the WCOOP has become the ultimate proving ground for the best players in the game. With buy-ins ranging from small stakes to nosebleed high rollers, the series attracts thousands of grinders, recreational players, and the biggest names in poker, all chasing one of the most coveted prizes in online poker: a WCOOP title.

Over the years, a handful of elite players have separated themselves from the pack, amassing multiple championships across a variety of variants—from no limit hold’em and pot limit omaha to mixed games like HORSE and badugi.

So, who are the players with the most WCOOP titles, and how did they build their legacies? Let’s take a look.

PLAYERS WITH THE MOST WCOOP TITLES

BENNY “RUNGODLIKE” GLASER – 19 TITLES

Benny Glaser leads the way

Benny “RunGodlike” Glaser took down the prestigious $50K Poker Players Championship at the 2026 WSOP, proving beyond any shadow of a doubt that he’s one of the all-time greats. No surprise, then, that he’s the greatest WCOOP player in history with 19 victories.

Many of those wins came in 2023 alone when Glaser went on a tear, winning an unprecedented seven titles in one series. He picked up another hat trick of wins in 2026, despite a reduction in volume.

Glaser is tied with Patrick “pads1161” Leonard for the most COOP titles overall (31).

Look out for Pads’ Instagram stories throughout the series

Undoubtedly one of the most respected and successful players out there, Patrick “pads1161” Leonard’s WCOOP resume reads exactly how you’d expect. It’s consistent. It’s prolific. And it’s diverse, both in terms of poker variants and buy-in levels.

Heading into the 2026 WCOOP, Pads was the all-time greatest COOP player ever. Glaser managed to pull level, leaving both with 31 as we head into 2027.

Vieira is always a threat

Joining Leknes on 13 wins is Portuguese superstar Joao “Naza114” Vieira–widely considered one of the best all-round players in the modern game. 

Vieira had a hat trick of wins in 2024, a feat he’d already accomplished twice before (2019 and 2022). He came very close in 2025, finishing runner-up multiple times.

NIKLAS “LENA900” ASTEDT – 14 TITLES

Niklas Astedt never ceases to amaze

Just when you thought there’s nothing more that Niklas “Lena900” Astedt could do to prove he’s one of the greatest tournament players of all time, the Swede went and final tabled the WSOP Main Event and followed it up with four WCOOP titles in 2024.

He was online poker’s biggest money winner with more than $50 million in cashes before tracked records were taken offline. He plays all of the games excellently, and you’d be a fool to bet against him winning events in any series.

RENAN ‘INTERNET93O’ BRUSCHI – 13 TITLES

There’s simply nothing that can stop Renan Bruschi

Here’s the cool thing about covering the PokerStars COOP series so closely for so many years. You really get to see who the true grind-every-single-day, year-after-year, crush-everyone-regardless-of-game-or-stakes players are. Anyone can run hot over a single series, but it’s those who turn up every series and dominate that really make jaws drop.

And Renan “Internett93o” Bruschi is one of those players. He won his maiden WCOOP in 2022, then won three in 2023, three in 2024, two in 2025, and he was one of only two players to win four titles in the 2026 series. (Bruschi also won four SCOOP titles in 2025, and an incredible six more earlier this year).

Leknes won three WCOOP titles in 2022, and then another hat trick the year after, with three SCOOP victories in between. He added his 13th title in 2024.

His victories across all series come in every form of poker.
