But don't count out players like "WRUUUM", Connor "blanconegro" Drinan, Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi, Ola "Odd_Oddsen" Amundsgard, Gavin "gavz101" Cochrane, "EEE27", and /"KissMyAcePlz".
When the players return, they will resume Level 21 which has a small blind of 10,000 and big blind of 20,000. Level duration will remain at 20 minutes until Level 37. Play will continue until a new champion has been crowned.
In the meantime, Calvin "cal42688" Anderson is second in chips in the medium buy-in version of this event, he already has 10 SCOOP titles, will he be able to catch number 11 tonight? "kjunia" is also still in that event and so are "vovo_leo" and Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi who will all be trying to win two in a night. But familiar names who entered here are still left in the other tournament like Francisco "Tomatee" Benitez, Patrick "pads1161" Leonard, Alex “alexo18” Manzano and Jamie "Jamie_KK" Kang for example.
The PokerNews live reporting team will be there from the first beep until the final table has been closed while keeping an eye on SCOOP-40M too so read along to find out what happens on the virtual felt!
