PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) Event 11 $3150 action and results.
Players who participated in Event 11 enjoyed a nice overlay of more than $20,000 when the 247 entries did not meet the $800,000 guaranteed prize pool. First would receive $184,000 and the 30 players making the money would at least double their buy-in.
The event was played with maximum tables of six, meaning bustouts would come quickly. The field narrowed fast in the middle stages, but as the remaining players accumulated nice stacks relative to the blinds the eliminations slowed. The pace slowed to a crawl as the money bubble of $6,400 neared, as well as when play got down to the last two tables.
Team PokerStars members came out in droves for the event. Among them (along with their finishes) were Peter Eastgate in 43rd, Andre "aakkari" Akkari in 49th, Gavin Griffin in 95th, Chad Brown in 119th, Hevad "RaiNKhAN" Khan in 126th, Vanessa "LadyMaverick" Rousso in 127th, Ylon Schwartz in 181st, Alexandre "Allingomes" Gomes in 207th, John Duthie in 219th, Ivan Demidov in 225th, and Barry "barryg1" Greenstein, Noah "Exclusive" Boeken and Daniel "KidPoker" Negreanu in 226th.
