David Salituro

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of 9♣2♦7♣, Nazar Buhaiov bet 95,000 from the hijack and Mitch Garshofsky called in the big blind.

Both players checked the 8♦ turn. Buhaiov then bet 275,000 on the 6♣ river, and Garshofsky called.

Buhaiov turned over 10♠8♠. "Straight? Six-seven-eight-nine-ten. Looks like a straight," Garshofsky said as he mucked.

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Sandra Barbour

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

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 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Nazar Buhaiov raised to 40,000 under the gun with Q♠Q♥ and Sami Bechahed called in the big blind.

The flop came Q♦5♣3♥ and Buhaiov continued for 30,000 with top set. Bechahed then raised to 85,000, and Buhaiov called.

The turn was the 3♠ and Bechahed bet another 95,000. Buhaiov again called, and the 2♣ fell on the river.

Bechahed then bet 430,000, but this time Buhaiov moved all in for 650,000 with his full house. Bechahed used several time banks before folding 6♣4♣ for a rivered straight.
