Maimone is no stranger to success despite never finding WSOP gold before today. In addition to his more than $2.1 million in live cashes according to The Hendon Mob, Maimone also was once ranked sixth in the world in online poker tournaments at PocketFives. While playing under “rdcrsn” on GGPoker, to online railbirds he’s well-known under his “fu_15” moniker with countless digital accolades attached to it.
The win catapults Maimone over the $1 million mark in WSOP cashes with his best finish coming more than a decade ago when he took 15th place in the 2009 WSOP Main Event for $633,022.

Huahuan “F7588” Feng Wins the Biggest WSOP ever with Event #71: BIG 50 ($211,282)
Event #71: BIG 50, $1M GTD wasn’t just big – it was the biggest World Series of Poker (WSOP) field ever and Huahuan “F7588” Feng managed to navigate through the massive field of 44,576 total entries to win the bracelet, a package to WSOP Europe, and $211,282. The huge field put the prize pool on this $50 event at more than $2M, doubling its $1M guarantee.
The win marks the seventh cash for Feng during the 2020 WSOP Online at GGPoker, but its the first time in the series he has gotten even close to a final table. Prior to this year, Feng had no WSOP cashes on his resume, but he managed to rack up more than $300,000 in wins in various Asian events since 2017.
The $211,282 score is his biggest cash yet, eclipsing his previous best of $176,985 (KRW 198,060,000) in KRW 11,300,000 + 700,000 No Limit Hold’em – High Roller (Event #8) at Jeju Red Dragon 2018, Jeju.

Gregor “soulsntfaces” Muller Wins Event #67: $500 Limit Hold’em ($45,102)
On Friday night, Gregor “soulsntfaces” Muller won his first WSOP bracelet in Event #67: $500 Limit Hold’em for $45,101. The first limit tournament of the GGPoker WSOP Online Bracelets schedule attracted 706 players to create a prize pool of $335,350.
Muller has recorded two previous live cashes back in 2010 and 2016 in his home country of Austria and cashed in the Mini Main Event for $1,541. This cash today is his biggest to date on at least GGPoker and no other results show up on his username.
Muller defeated Brunno Botteon heads-up who in comparison is a more well-known player. In the live poker scene, Botteon might only have cashed for $78,246, his online results amount to much more. The online grinder’s biggest cash was for $265,463 with a few more six-figure scores in his collection.
While Botteon nearly missed out on the coveted price here, he’s in contention for a far bigger ship as he’s among the final nine in the $25K Poker Players Championship.
They were joined by other familiar names on the final table like GGPoker Twitch Streamer Michiel “Easterdamnz” Van Elsacker and Davide “ElPapuGomez” Suriano.
