PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) Event 9 $215 action and results.
A field of 439 players showed up ready to draw their way to the top of SCOOP's medium tier Event #9, 2-7 Triple Draw. That was short of the 500 needed to surpass the guarantee, so the event had a $100,000 prize pool with $19,000 going to first place.
Several Team PokerStars Pro players showed up to play, including Marcin Horecki, Chad Brown, Ivan Demidov, Greg Raymer, and Victor Ramdin, but only Alex Kravchenko would make the money by finishing in 66th place. Several other notable players also cashed, including Boosted J (47th), BodogAri (40th), SCOOP Event #2 $1,080 PLO/8 champion finsfan7 (26th), and SamENole (9th).
For the win, drawmyface takes home $19,000 and a SCOOP champion's watch, while 1cnote gets $14,000 for his runner-up finish. In the end the two competitors played a total of 259 hands over the course of their marathon duel. Both of them deserve full congratulations for their show of determination and endurance in pursuit of SCOOP glory.
