Felix Schneiders
Felix Schneiders

Felix "xflixx" Schneiders was down to 143,344 chips and went all-in from under the gun. The action folded to "andresds" on the button, who three-bet all-in himself for 360,955. The blinds folded and Schneiders was at risk to exit in the prebubble phase of the tournament.

Felix "xflixx" Schneiders: 77
"andresds": AQ

No cards with letter on them appeared on the 59653 board, and clubs remained absent as well. Schneiders doubled up as his hopes of a deep Main Event run continue to be alive.

Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 1,250 ante
Ramon Colillas
Ramon Colillas

The action folded to "Avrora-sp" in the small blind and they made a raise to 35,600. Ramon "RamonColillas" Colillas sat in the big blind and called the raise.

The pair checked the 3KJ flop before "Avrora-sp" made a bet of 45,000 on the 10 turn. Colillas called and the 2 river appeared.

"Avrora-sp" now made an overbet of 210,000. Colillas took some time before he eventually came up with the call. "Avrora-sp" could only show a bluff with A4, while Colillas made a courageous call with his top pair, holding K9.

Colillas now joins the rank of players with more than one million chips in their stack.

"BlindGuy789" raised to 16,000 from under the gun and Lex "L. Veldhuis" Veldhuis defended his big blind. On the 2J10 flop, "BlindGuy789" continued for another 13,200 and Veldhuis check-called.

The 9 turn came about and Veldhuis checked again. This time, "BlindGuy789" bet 21,120 and Veldhuis responded by putting his opponent all-in for 122,499 total. "BlindGuy789" made the call and Veldhuis was looking to score a knock-out.

"BlindGuy789": JQ
Lex "L. Veldhuis" Veldhuis: 910

A fortunate turn for Veldhuis, who made two pair. He faded the straight and other outs of his opponent on the 6 river and scored another pot. He has already tripled his stack since the start of play as he is looking to make another deep run this SCOOP.

Fintan Hand

Fintan "easywithaces" Hand had rebought at the start of the day and was sitting in the big blind with a stack of 78,781 chips. The action folded around to "__P0o_P0o__" in the small bind, and they jammed all in, covering Hand's stack. Hand made the call and was at risk of an early night.

"__P0o_P0o__": Q6

Hand was ahead preflop, but "__P0o_P0o__" flopped top pair on Q103. The turn 4 and river 8 did not bring a king for hand, and he was one of the many eliminations in the first minutes of play.

A Long and Action-Packed Day 2 Ahead in the $1,050 PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker Main Event

Welcome to Day 2 of the 2023 $1,050 PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) Main Event . The action is set to kick off at 12:35 p.m. Eastern Time and the field will play well into the money, with the plan being to leave only 80 competitors with chips at the end of the day.

On Day 1, 3,845 entries were made by 2,664 unique players. Out of them, only 1,278 found a way to Day 2. Canada’s ”Zabiggesmaj” bagged the chip lead with a whopping 1,469,772 chips, equating to almost 15 starting stacks and 250 big blinds. Christoph "26071985" Vogelsang (1,067,360) and Roman "RomeOpro" Romanovsky (1,047,595) also found themselves with over one million chips at the end of the day, and thus in the top ten of the leaderboard.

When play ended on Day 1, the $4,000,000 guaranteed prize pool had not been reached yet. However, with late registration being open until the start of today, that is very likely to change. At the time of writing the clock reads 3,981 entries, with a top prize of over $570,000. Those numbers are sure to still rise, as many more are expected to take a final shot at becoming a SCOOP Main Event champion in the hour that remains until play commences.

Among those that have already made a reentry for the starting stack of 100,000 are Daniel "SmilleThHero" Smiljkovic, Gilles "TaxationIsTheft" Simon, and Pedro "kurtWSOP" Cavalieri. PokerStars Ambassador Fintan “easywithaces” Hand will also make a last-minute appearance, as he was the only one of the “Red Spades” who did not succeed in making Day 2.

As stated, the tournament will recommence at 12:35 p.m. Eastern Time. The blinds will start at 3,000/6,000 with an ante of 750, and Day 2 will last for as many 20-minute levels as it takes to whittle the field down from over 1,400 people to the final 80.

Stay tuned as PokerNews will provide all of the exciting action on the bubble-bursting Day 2 of SCOOP 108-M: $1,050 Main Event, as well as the $109 Low and $10,300 High versions of the tournament.
