PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) Event 10 $16.50 action and results.
Judging from today's turnout in SCOOP EVENT #10-Low, $16.50 No Limit Hold'em Heads-Up Match Play, match play is also a very appealing form of poker. PokerStars set a cap of 8,192 players for SCOOP Event #10-Low. Despite such a high cap, the tournament sold out twenty minutes before its scheduled start time. The champion of the tournament would have to win a lucky thirteen successive heads-up matches. It's a feat that requires a combination of excellent skill, good timing and good luck. Just one rivered gutshot could be enough to dash a player's hopes of turning $16.50 into the first-place prize of $16,281.61.
After ten rounds of play spread across nine long hours, the field of 8,192 dreamers was reduced to eight.
Scarer ran the 8,192-player gauntlet. He completed a perfect 13-for-13 day to take home $13,402.41 in prize money, the champion's watch, and the title of Champion of SCOOP Event #10-Low. Whoever said thirteen was an unlucky number should speak with Scarer. It turned out to be a great number for him.
