Paawan Bansal raised to 300,000 in middle position. Traian Stanciu was in the big blind and three-bet to 750,000 after spending a time bank.

Bansal moved all in for 2,350,000, and Stanciu snap-called, playing only 50,000 less than his opponent.

Traian Stanciu: A♠A♣ All in
Paawan Bansal: K♥K♦

Bansal was left with running outs after the 7♠J♦A♦ flop gave Stanciu top set. The 5♥ turn left him drawing dead, however, and the meaningless 3♦ river completed the board.

Stanciu raked in the double-up, leaving Bansal with just one-third of a big blind to try and spin up.

2026 PokerStars SCOOP

The iconic PokerStars Spring Championship Of Online Poker (SCOOP) is one of the most eagerly anticipated festivals on the online poker calendar, thanks partly to its offering of massive prize pools across three weeks of action. Usually, SCOOP runs online at PokerStars throughout May, but the 2026 SCOOP heads to PokerStars two months earlier, with the festival schedule for March 1-25.

PokerStars first ran SCOOP in 2009, and it immediately became a must-play series for tournament grinders of all skill and experience levels. The multi-tiered buy-in structure opens the door for every PokerStars player to experience a world-class poker tournament festival regardless of their bankroll size.

Since its launch in 2009, PokerStars SCOOP has seen more than 143 million PokerStars players buy into over 3,300 tournaments and share a staggering $1.4 billion in prizes, of which more than $216 million has gone to SCOOP champions.

Level 31 : Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Paawan Bansal made it 300,000 to go in the cutoff, holding K♥J♠. Bora Kurtulus put him to the test by jamming all in with A♣2♣, and Bansal elected to fold and preserve his stack of nearly 2,000,000.

The next hand, Kurtulus opened his button to 300,000, and Matan Krakow called in the big blind.

The table was knuckled twice on both the 10♠9♣7♣ flop and Q♦ turn, prompting Krakow to bet 225,000 on the 3♦ river.

Kurtulus quickly called for Krakow to table 9♠5♠ for middle pair. Kurtulus had the same pair, but with K♦9♥, he won the pot with a higher kicker.

Paawan Bansal looked down at his cards on the button. He decided to make the minimum raise to 300,000, which Bora Kurtulus called in the big blind.

After Kurtulus checked the A♦9♥4♥ flop, Bansal wagered 175,000. Kurtulus called almost instantly, leading to the 4♠ turn being placed on the felt.

Kurtulus checked again, prompting Bansal to size up slightly to 225,000. Kurtulus stuck around with another call, after which the 8♥ river was checked to showdown.

Kurtulus had a pair of nines with Q♥9♦, but Bansal had one rank higher with his 10♠10♣ to win the pot and chip up to 17 big blinds.

Bora Kurtulus made it 300,000 to go in the hijack with K♣10♦. Conor O'Driscoll spent one of his time extensions before he three-bet to 1,050,000 with 7♠7♥ in the cutoff.

Kurtulus weighed his options for a while, but ultimately decided to lay his hand down to grant the pot to O'Driscoll.

On the next deal, Kurtulus found Q♠10♥ in middle position and again raised to 300,000. It folded to Paawan Bansal in the big blind, who defended Q♥10♣.

Kurtulus placed a bet of 400,000 on the 7♦3♥A♦ flop, leading to a quick check-fold from Bansal.
