PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) Event 1’s low stakes event blew away expectations in attendance and prize pool.
The low version of the opening SCOOP event drew a whopping 27,134 entries, who made 45,438 rebuys and 14,434 add-ons, creating a prize pool of slightly more than $435,000. The winner would receive $41,562.
Even though the tournament format called for six players to each table it took plenty of time to pare the 27,134 players to a final table.
After 14 and a half hours of play, the final six were finally set. Final table finishes and payouts were as follows:
First - Eetu100 ($41,562.77)
Second - MrWhite ($29,364.53)
Third - bakter9 ($17,401.21)
Fourth - jw32123 ($8,700.61)
Fifth - canucko ($4,350.31)
Sixth - AragonX ($3,045.22)
Eetu100 took down the field, scooped up SCOOP cash, and picked up a SCOOP championship watch, as well as plenty of clout for future contests.
