PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) Event 14 $55 action and results.
A total of 8,301 players came out for the low-stakes version of Event 14 on April 8, which created a prize pool of $415,050, well over the $250K guarantee set up by PokerStars. A whopping 1,500 players were to split that according to their finishes, and the action was underway without limits.
There were a number of Team PokerStars pros in the action throughout the day, though some like Marcin Horecki, Vanessa Rousso, Maria Mayrinck, and Peter Eastgate ended their runs early. Gavin Griffin made it into the money to finish in 1226th place, and William Thorson went quite deep, eventually finishing in 210th place. And as the final table approached, one PokerStars-sponsored player was still in the mix - Hevad "RaiNKhAN" Khan, who had been sitting in the top five for several levels running.
At the final table Team PokerStars Pro Hevad Khan typed in the chat box:
RaiNKhAN: I know the observers can't speak but
RaiNKhAN: THIS IS A FRONT ROW SEAT TO THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!!!!!
RaiNKhAN: GET RDY!
Team PokerStars Pro Hevad Khan won his first SCOOP event, which was worth $58,107.01 and the champion's watch. Post-tournament chat in the box proved that he was a bit thrilled with the victory.
