PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) Event 4 $16.50 action and results.
SCOOP Event #4's Low Buy-in tournament reached its final table in under five hours with the pedal-to-the-metal blind structures. Near the final table bubble players were forced to preflop decisions and no post flop play as the average stack held under ten big blinds.
14,496 players lined up to pay a mere $16.50 for the lightning quick turbo fun and a shot at the first prize of $33,558.01. If the math isn't working out while figuring out that big prize it's because this was a second chance NLHE tournament and 7,876 people took advantage of that second chance and re-bought into the tourney pushing the total prize pool to $335,580.00 destroying the $100,000.00 guaranteed by PokerStars.
Team PokerStars Pro Greg Raymer took some time to drop by the final table and provide some little hearted humor for our final nine as they kicked off the race for the $33K first place prize:
FossilMan: Who's going to buy me a new car if they win?
FossilMan: I love these turbos I can sweat the entire final table in 30 hands
FossilMan: like watching the wsop on TV
The final table took twenty more hands then Mr. Raymer predicted, but it was good to be kingcoles80 as he walked away from the final table $31,178.72 richer in winning the SCOOP Event #4 low buy-in tournament!
