2025 PokerStars EPT Prague
Oleg Vasylchenko opened to 1,300 from early position, and Yoash Trokman called from the hijack. Daniel Holzner raised to 4,000 from the cutoff, and both players paid to see the flop.
Vasylchenko and Trokman checked the 10♥K♣10♦ flop, and Holzner bet 3,500. Action folded back to Holzner, who scooped the three-way pot.
Osman Midik opened to 1,500 on the button and saw both Georgios Vrakas call from the small blind and Lulei Hu defend the big blind.
The 3♣A♥7♠ flop was checked to Midik, who bet 1,500. Vrakas raised to 4,600, and only Hu called.
The 10♥ turn saw Vrakas check and Hu bet 4,500. Vrakas took some time before calling.
Vrakas then moved all in for 18,200 on the 7♣ river, sending Hu into the tank. The clock was called after a number of minutes, and Hu counted out the chips from his stack, but then pushed his hand to the dealer.
Vrakas stacked up his chips and showed his gutsy 4♣5♣ bluff.
Aviv Meiri opened to 1,200 from the hijack, Mahmoud Bedoui called from the button, and Patrick El Kallas defended from the big blind.
The flop came 4♥8♥2♦. El Kallas checked, Meiri bet 2,500, Bedoui called, and El Kallas called.
Meiri continued for 11,000 when checked to on the 4♣ turn. Bedoui raised to 25,000, El Kallas folded, and Meiri shoved for a bit more. Bedoui nearly beat him into the pot.
Aviv Meiri: 5♦4♦
Mahmoud Bedoui: 6♠4♠
Both players had trips with a small kicker, and a chop seemed likely until the 6♥ river improved Bedoui to a full house to eliminate Meiri and add more chips to his already substantial stack.
Three-way to the 8♣Q♠10♠ flop, Gabriele Guerrini bet 2,400 under the gun. Abdullah Turan raised to 6,500 in the cutoff, and Erdal Gulseven mucked his cards on the button after some thought.
Guerrini obliged with a call, after which the two remaining contenders checked through the 9♠ turn. Guerrini fired a small bet of 2,200 on the 10♥ river, which Turan quickly called.
Guerrini tabled Q♦J♥ for a straight, meaning Turan's K♣Q♥ was not good enough to win the pot.
Grzegorz Flak raised to 1,400 in the hijack, which Stanislav Koleno three-bet to 6,000 in the cutoff. Scott Margereson upped the ante further by four-betting in the small blind, folding out Flak.
Koleno took some time before he announced his all-in for 59,500. Margereson asked for a count, but mucked his cards after deliberating his options for a while.
With the board reading 5♥J♣8♦ and around 8,500 in the middle, Francisco Duart checked from the hijack and called a 2,000 bet from Julien Sitbon in the cutoff.
Duart check-called a 5,000 bet from Sitbon on the 2♥ turn, before both players checked the 4♦ river. Duart showed top pair with Q♥J♥, and Sitbon mucked.
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.
