Seven hours and ten minutes after the first virtual cards were in the air, a champion was crowned in
SCOOP-100-H: $5,200 NLHE [8-Max, Final Freeze]. The most expensive event that kicked off on the final day of
2021 PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) drew a field of 183 entries and created a prize pool of $915,000. Once the final hand was completed, Jake Schindler emerged as the champion after denying Charlie Epiphany77 Carrel another title.
Schindler s victory came with a payday of $181,517 and he earned the biggest slice of the prize pool in emphatic fashion. The American poker pro knocked out seven of the eight finalists and Carrel was the only one to also get involved in the proceedings. However, from the second hand on the final table, Schindler seemed destined to emerge as the champion and needed fewer than one hour to get the job done in steamrolling fashion.
The
2021 PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) concludes today and the festival has already generated prize pools of more than $134 million. On the final day, another nine tournaments kick off and among them is also
SCOOP-100-H: $5,200 NLHE [8-Max, Final Freeze]. The penultimate event with a four-figure buy-in gets underway at 1.05 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
Only one bullet will be available for all contenders in this festival saver and the tournament features levels of 15 minutes throughout. For a price tag of $5,200, all participants compete for at least $700,000 in guaranteed prize money and several big names of the online poker scene are expected to join the fray.
Sunday marked the begging of the end for the
2021 PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker as the six Main Events, with combined guarantees worth more than $15 million, got underway. At the same time as the Main Events were playing out, three more events played down to a winner including a pair of High buy-in events that paid out healthy six-figure scores.
Of the six multi-day Main Events (three NLHE, three PLO at each of the tiered buy-ins) five have already surpassed the posted guarantee, and registration for new (and previously busted) players is available right up until the start of Day 2.
