Day 13 of the
PokerStars SCOOP finally saw the ice break for professional players as Sorel Mizzi and Kevin Saul both sailed to titles in various SCOOP events. Events #31, 32 and 33 were on the schedule for the day, with the high buy-in version of the NL Holdem with 1 re-buy and 1 add-on event kicking off the action. The $2,000+$100 buy-in meant that only 236 players would show up for this one. The prize-pool still beat the $1 million mark though. Kevin Saul won the
poker tournament, following a 3-way deal at the top, which left $21k for the eventual winner. Everything combined, Saul took home $196,050 and the title. He still fell short of second place man, Adam Sherman’s reward which was exactly $198k.
Chris Dombrowski finished 3rd for $150k.
The medium buy-in version of event #31 went to kuufer. Having avoided any sort of deals at the final table, kuufer pocketed the entire share of the winner, a massive $123,660. A total of 1,595 players showed up for this poker tournament, generating a prize-pool of $753,800.
The low buy-in version of the event gave the eventual winner, fwilliams007, $66,365. The 10,516 players who had registered for the event combined for a prize-pool of $477.060.
Event #32, the $5,000+$2,000
Fixed Limit Holdem 6-max event saw another pro triumph: Sorel Mizzi bested an initial starting field of 79 players (the ultra-high buy-in was pretty restrictive indeed), on his way to a SCOOP title and a $118,500 reward. B00mslang finished 2nd for $79k. A notable finish was that of Anh Van Nguyen, who picked up $15,800 for his 9th place finish.
The medium buy-in version of the event saw Matt Hawrilenko make it all the way to 21st. On account of the low buy-in though, he only picked up $1,608 for his efforts. The winner was juuuiice, who pocketed $42,900. He had to best a starting field of 429 players.
The low buy-in version was won by DonkPredator, who took home $17,688.
Bertrand Grospellier played in the $2,000+$100 NL Omaha Hi/Lo event (event #33) and finished 14th for $5k.
The other two SCOOP champions that the event yielded were Shadow70 (who won $25.7k) and capriole, who pocketed $7.9k for his win in the low buy-in event.
