PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) Event 7 $1050 action and results.
There were about 350 players seated to receive the first hand of hold'em in the "medium" stakes version of SCOOP Event No. 7, the $1,000+$50 buy-in H.O.R.S.E. event. However, by the time late registration had ended, a total of 444 had entered. As the tourney had a $500,000 guarantee attached to it, that meant the players enjoyed an overlay, with first prize scheduled to receive $95,000. The top 64 finishers would cash, with each assured of at least $1,775.
Team PokerStars Pros among Sunday's field included Alexander Gomes ("Allingomes"), Andre Akkari ("aakkari"), Chad Brown ("ChadBrownPRO"), Daniel Negreanu ("KidPoker"), Greg Raymer ("Fossilman"), Ivan Demidov, Katja Thater, Marcin Horecki ("Goral"), Maridu Mayrinck ("Maridu"), Victor Ramdin, and Ylon Schwartz. In fact, most of that group had entered into at least two of the Event No. 7 tourneys, with mixed-game aficionados Brown and Negreanu entering all three. Other notables turning out included AJKHoosier1, AJunglen1, Andy McLEOD, apestyles, BodogAri, Daut44, gbmantis, get crunk, Hoss_TBF, JohnnyBax, liberace, micon, newhizzle, PearlJammer, Rizen, steamraise, TheTakeover, and ZeeJustin.
