PokerStars Ontario SCOOP

From March 21 through April 7, PokerStars Ontario hosted the Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP). The entire series – of which there were 44 numbered events, each with low, medium, and high buy-ins – catered to a combined 39,011 entrants and awarded $2,644,118 in prize money.

One of the big storylines to come out of the online festival was Bobby "dusty truth" Winger taking down two titles. The first was Event #3-H: $100 NLHE [7-Max, Turbo, Progressive KO, Late Night Fight] on the first day of the series for $1,779.67, and the second came nine days later when he navigated a 916-entry field to win Event #26-M: $100 NLH Red Spade Sunday for $16,404.

“The titles and trophy events mean a lot. I’ve grown up watching the Team Pros and streamers, and I always wanted to compete at that level,” Winger told PokerNews. “The money is nice, obviously, but that comes and goes. The hardware you get to keep for life, which means a lot to me. I plan to win a lot more in the future.”

Winger was one of 13 players who claimed two titles, while a pair of them won three in "WalmartCNXN" and "azareus15". However, all of them trailed behind "McGrd", who took down four titles!

The first was Event #7-M: $30 NLH Sunday Warmup for $1,853, and then two days later, Event #13-M: $250 NLH Freezeout Championship for $5,067. Just two days after that, it was Event #19-H: $100 NLH Turbo Super Thursday for $3,142, and the final one was Event #34-H: $500 NLH PKO Thursday Thrill Championship for $16,719.
