PokerStars’ 2014 SCOOP: $40 Million Guaranteed
Posted by: Jo Martin - Thu, 2014-04-17 07:42
The schedule they have recently released is quite tell-tale about how PokerStars have raised the stakes yet again for the 2013 edition of their popular Spring Championship of Online Poker. For the first time ever, the SCOOP which is set to kick off on May 4, will feature no fewer than 3 events each day, each and every one of these events offering 3 buy-in levels. The Series will wrap up on May 18, so it’s safe to say it will keep players of all skill and bankroll levels quite busy through the entire first half of May.
Sign up to PokerStars right now and make sure you’re ready to roll come May 4.
The first event of the Series – which features $40 million in guaranteed prizes - kicks off on Sunday, May 4 and the last one, the Main Event, gets going on May 18. Like all the other SCOOP events, the Main Event features 3 buy-in levels as well. The low buy-in is $109, the medium one $1,050 and the high one: $10.3k. Obviously, the buy-in for the high version of the Main Event is quite prohibitive for rank and file players, therefore it’s safe to think of it as the online proving ground of the “name” crowd. Last year, the winner of the Main Event was
Full Tilt Poker’s Viktor Blom, who ended up taking home almost $1.1 million. The one Blom bested for the title was Noah Boeken, who ended up with a substantial prize as well.
The 2014 edition of the SCOOP will feature a wide range of poker variants, giving everyone the opportunity to shine in what he/she is best at. There will be Texas Holdem, Omaha, Five-card Draw, 2-7 Triple Draw and HORSE events, and Badugi will be featured as well.
One can never be too early getting ready for a Series like the SCOOP. Sign up to PokerStars now and build up your bankroll before the SCOOP action gets going.
