PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) Event 3 $11 action and results.
The huge turnout for Friday's "low" stakes version of Event No. 3 ($10+$1) meant the pot-limit five-card draw tournament easily shattered its $25,000 guarantee. The prize pool ultimately reached a total of $42,920, with $6,545.31 scheduled to be awarded to the player finishing first.
The cash bubble burst just shy of the four-hour break (during Level 16), at which time player seep021858 held the chip lead with more than 120,000 chips, followed by Petor and holdmyown31. By the time the field had whittled down to 100, none of those three would still be around, with holdmyown31 going out in 313rd, seep021858 in 234th, and Petor in 170th.
A little later, rydawgsw went on a tear, standing pat on a queen-high straight to knock out Vingtcent in 10th place, drawing to two pair to eliminate a chip-depleted BigFink in 9th, then standing pat on a spade flush to send xxB 52xx to the rail in 8th. After Kidlcee went out in 7th at the other table, our six-handed final table was set.
Here's how the cash was awarded at the final table:
