Just under seven hours of action-filled play in Day 1 of the 2020 PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) Event #75-L: $109 [6-Max, PLO Main Event], $500K Gtd) saw 6,126 entries drop down to the number of 875 required to make it into the money and finish play for the day. In total, those entries generated a prize pool of $612,600, surpassing the recently-raised guarantee by over 22%.

When the mark of 875 was reached and the tournament made it into the money, "pokerpædagogen" of Denmark was the one to find themselves atop the leader board with a stack of 718,888. "krihan" (648,585), "Stallfos" (636,476), "YYYeaHHH" (598,726), and "chris1903x" (596,373) round out the top five.

Just behind the top five includes three players of note: Denis "aDrENalin710" Strebkov (591,774), Tyler "wonderboy222" Goatcher (578,482), and Julian "jutrack" Track (569,598[/b] all will find themselves in the top 10 when Day 2 resumes on Monday.

Other notables to get through on the day include Rui "RuiNF" Ferreira (249,819), Robin "robinho" Ylitalo (245,480), Christian "WATnlos" Rudolph (210,775), Simon "C. Darwin2" Mattsson (174,379), Benny "RunGodlike" Glaser (154,592), and Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi (94,751).

PokerStars ambassadors Ben "Spraggy" Spragg and Lex "L. Veldhuis" Veldhuis also took their shot(s) at this event, but neither were able to get much of anything going and were among the thousands to fall short of making the money in the tournament.

Three eliminations occurred on the final hand of the night, meaning 873 players will return on Monday at 1:05 p.m. ET to continue play with two minutes remaining in Level 18 (1,250/2,500). Twenty-minute levels will remain the norm for the rest of the tournament, and Day 2 will see a full slate of action until the final three tables are reached.
