Day: 1
"iConvert13" Takes the Crown and $11,630.98 in MISCOOP-26-H: $300 NLHE (Super Tuesday SE)
"iConvert13" spent his Tuesday making a statement in the PokerStars Michigan Spring Championship of Online Poker, as they took down the title of SCOOP champion in Event #26: $300 NLHE (Super Tuesday SE), $40K Gtd for $11,630.98 after besting a field of 213 entrants.
It took three bullets to get one that stuck for "iConvert13", and they didn't really make their presence felt until just before the bubble burst. They managed to burst the final table bubble with the elimination of "Exponent1" in tenth, and took a strong chip lead to the final table.
From there, they stayed near or at the top of the counts at the final table, ultimately denying a chop from "Blunce" and taking the SCOOP title outright.

Action of the Day
"GrndChalengChmp" got off to a strong start of the day as one of the early chip leaders, but that momentum left them one spot shy of a cash as they finished in 32nd place, busting at the same time as "CitizenPker". With a smaller chip stack, "GrndChalengChmp" left empty-handed, while "CitizenPker" took home a $625.49 payday for finishing in 31st.
From there, the final table came swiftly, and some of those who took some cash with them include "Corgasm231" (11th - $976.98), "Joe-E-guns" (15th - $842.03), and Henry "xlzou1990" Zou (24th - $725.73).
"flopping air" was the first to fall at the final table, running ace-jack into aces in two separate hands a short time apart to bust. After "Owens18853" and "Po$ter Nutbag" fell in eighth and seventh, "PLAYIN_4_STAXX", who already holds one 2021 MISCOOP title in Event 14-H: $50 NLHE [Rebuy], $15K Gtd, lost a flip to "Hail-6404" to bust in sixth.
"SVSU2021" and the aforementioned "Hail-6404" were next to go, and "Blunce" began discussing a deal with the remaining two players. The deal never went through, and "barry20sanders" bowed out in third. One more small discussion of a deal took place, but never came to fruition, and "Blunce" ran into the aces of "iConvert13" to fall in second.
