Gostisa Stuns Peters Heads-Up to Win WPT World Online Championships Main Event

Rok Gostisa overcame a heads-up deficit to defeat David Peters and win the 2021 WPT World Online Championships Main Event. He defeated a field of 1,179 players to win $959,493.

Having dominated large portions of the final table, Peters held a commanding lead three-handed after the eliminations of Philipp Hofbauer and Bruno Volkmann in quick succession. However, Gostisa would bust start-of-day chip leader Vlad Darie in third to remain in contention ahead of heads-up play.

Gostisa's courageous triple-barrel bluff saw him close the gap to Peters, and he would soon turn the tables, moving into a 2:1 chip lead of his own after a well-timed pot-sized bet.
