The World Series of Poker Online<\/strong> wrapped up on Tuesday at GGPoker<\/a> with the $5,000 Main Event<\/strong> closing out the series on Monday. The tournament featured a $20 million prize pool and when the action concluded, Sweden\u2019s<\/a> Eric Mattsson<\/strong> took the title for his first bracelet and $2.8 million.<\/span><\/p>\n

This becomes the biggest score of Mattson\u2019s career and quite a bullet point, winning one of the biggest events in online poker. No stranger to success, Mattson is the top-ranked online poker<\/a> player in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

The last week saw three other events wrap up as well, including one player grabbing his second bracelet<\/strong> of the series. Here\u2019s a look at the action over the last week.<\/span><\/p>\n

After numerous starting flights throughout the series, the major highlight of the series concluded with some massive returns for players at the top. Mattson (pictured in lead image courtesy PokerStars\/Danny Maxwell) pocketed the lion\u2019s share of the prize pool and also landed the bracelet.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Swedish player has $1.5 million<\/strong> in live tournament winnings, almost doubling that total with this win. His previous biggest cash came in 2017 when he won a $2,200 event at the PokerStars<\/a> Championship Barcelona series for $337,007.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mattson, 29, shines at the online tables and has won more than $20 million<\/strong> throughout his career. The bracelet win comes after also winning a $5,250 Bounty Hunters Super High Roller<\/strong> in the GG series as well for $23,293.<\/span><\/p>\n

The top four players earned seven-figure scores including Thailand\u2019s Sakooh Kannapong<\/strong>, finishing runner-up for $2.1 million. Feng Zhao<\/strong>, of China, scored third for $1.6 million and Finland\u2019s Samuel Vousden took fourth for $1.2 million.<\/span><\/p>\n

The event crushed the $20 million guarantee, attracting 4,984 entries for a $23.7 million<\/strong> prize pool. Here\u2019s a look at all the top payouts and final table action.<\/span><\/p>\n
