Heath and Muehloecker Bag Big on Day 1 of the PokerStars 2021 SCOOP-92-H: $10,300 NLHE [8-Max, Main Event]
Some 601 players bought into the High Main Event despite it costing $10,300 to do so. Those entrants ensure the $5 million guarantee was not only hit but surpassed by almost $1 million. Only 194 players remain in contention for the title right now, although that number could rise because late registration is open until 6:05 p.m. BST on April 26.
Sweden s ShipitFTW911 is the player to catch right now courtesy of amassing 3,169,951 chips. Only Mexico s ZeBaronju, with 3,077,927, has more than three-million chips. There is a lot of poker still to be played in this event, but those two players have done their chances of glory no harm at all.

Four-card action abounds today on PokerStars for the Spring Championship of Online Poker, and one event that will continue on its journey to awarding a big prize is SCOOP-93-M: $1,050 PLO [6-Max, PLO Main Event], $750K Gtd.
Day 2 is on tap starting at 1:10 p.m. EDT, and it comes after a Day 1 that saw 861 entries, of which just shy of 200 advanced. However, those numbers are already on their way up as registration remains open until a bit before the start of Day 2. At the time of writing, the entries had just hit 900.
Registering players will get 100,000 in their stacks with everything set to come back at blinds of 3,000/6,000. Levels will be 20 minutes long today and the plan is to play until three tables remain.
