SCOOP 2020: “thegodfisher” turns “incredibly poor” start on Day 2 into nearly $100k for his savings in Event 10-M

Level 14 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
SCOOP 2020 Logo
SCOOP 2020 Logo

Off the tables, “thegodfisher” is a broker living and working in Manchester, UK. With his “full on occupation”, he doesn’t have masses of time to play poker.

Yet thegodfisher just joined the ranks of elite players who can call themselves a SCOOP champion. He’s the winner of the $109 PKO SCOOP 10-M, earning himself $64,330 for first place and $35,182 in bounties for a total of nearly $100k ($99,512).

After an “incredibly poor” start on Day 2 (his words, not mine!), thegodfisher managed to rally and regain his grip. He “took the chip lead with about 30 left and didn’t look back.”

thegodfisher came to the final table looking to use his big stack to gain an advantage and possibly more KOs. “I was looking to open any two cards and play for the huge bounties, with little damage to my overall tournament chances,” he says.

That’s not to say it was all plain sailing. With four players left, he found himself holding top pair on the “wrong end of a 3 way all in” that cost him a huge chunk of his stack.

Want to learn how "thegodfisher" came back from that? Our friends over at the PokerStars blog have the entire story. Check it out here.
