The 2024 PokerStars WCOOP League has new leaders following some impressive results on September 11.

Team peace&loove’s huge points tally mainly stemmed from a pair of results in the $55 NLHE Deep Stack and the $320 NLHE Deep Stack. In the former, “king153246,” the team member who secured their place on the team via the WCOOP Boot Camp promotion, navigated their way through almost all of the 4,865 entrants.
