The 2013 PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker (September 8-29 - $40 Million Guaranteed Across 66 Events) is underway since Sunday and already a big name has won an event!
Toby "810ofclubs" Lewis, who won the FTOPS High Roller Event last month, bested a field of 2,090 players in the $215+R No-Limit Hold'em Turbo event to collect $189,379. Lewis, of UK, defeated fellow countryman Sergi "srxakgirona" Rexixach heads-up after they had agreed on a deal.
Don't be suprised if Lewis wins another big tournament soon! He's playing extremly well as of late, and also he seems to have the poker gods watching over him.

Another three players from Great Britain reached the final table in Event #5: ($300+$20 6-Max Shootout). Team PokerStars Pro Liv Boeree was one of them and she was eliminated in 5th place by fellow countryman "Aduobe4"...
Boeree bet 160 from UTG, and "Aduobe4" three-bet to 370. Boeree called. The flop came down Q
102
and Boeree check-called a bet of 420. The 4 was dealt on the turn and Boeree check-called a bet of 955. The A
completed the board and she checked once again. Aduobe4 made a big enough raise to put Boeree all in. She decided to call with A
Q which wasn't good enough as "Aduobe4" had rived a straight with KJ.
Liv Boeree received $15,552 for her fifth-place finish and Aduobe4 ended up winning the tournament for $62,208!
