PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) Event 2 $109 action and results
It's enough of a feat to scratch and claw through a field of thousands and make it to a SCOOP final table. To do it twice in one night is almost unthinkable. But that's exactly what Sdouble accomplished tonight, taking down Event #2, $109 buy-in PLO8 while simultaneously making an eighth-place run in Event #1-High, $530 buy-in NLHE with Rebuys.
2,104 split-game enthusiasts came out for this "medium" buy-in installment of SCOOP's PLO8 festivities, creating a $210,400 prize pool. 306 places were paid, with first place earning $33,664.Representing Team PokerStars Pro in the field were Humberto Brenes, Katja Thater, Marcin Horecki, Victor Ramdin, Gavin Griffin, though unfortunately none of them made the money. Other familiar screen names popping up in this event were yuvee04, AJunglen7, rkruok, All_in_at420, BigRiskky, BodogAri, The Grinder, Mike "Timex" McDonald, TMay420, Danny "The__D__RY" Ryan, Eric "Rizen" Lynch, and this week's TLB winner Shaun "shaundeeb" Deeb.
The money bubble burst about 5 1/2 hours into play and it would take another six to play down to the final nine.
