While all attention as far as $10K PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker events goes will be on the $5 million guaranteed Main Event, all of the players who missed out on that final table were busy trying to make their way through other events.

Tops among them at this point is Juan "Malaka$tyle" Pardo, bringing 4.2 million in at 17,500/35,000/4,500.
A star-studded field of opponents awaits him.
Sitting in second: high-stakes cash end boss Linus "LLinusLLove" Loeliger with 3.6 million. Some of the most successful players from this SCOOP have also made appearances, including Jorryt "TheCleaner11" van Hoof off his early heater and $25K winner Steve "Mr. Tim Caum" O'Dwyer.
