$109 Main Event
Day 1 Started
As Spring gives way to Summer, the PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) comes to a close with its three main events. The SCOOP 108-L Main Event is expected to draw the largest field of the three, with the lowest buy-in of $109.
The Main Event Low will see cards in the air at 12:30 pm ET, at which point players from across the world will be vying for their piece of the prize pool, which carries a $2,000,000 guarantee. Day 1 will conclude after 17 levels of play, when players will bag their remaining chips before returning to play tomorrow, May 29th, at 12:35 pm ET. Levels will last 20 minutes each, with five minute breaks 55 minutes past the hour. Players will sit down with 25,000 chips, with blinds beginning at 50/100.
With about an hour until cards hit the felt, there are 2,237 entrants already registered. Each player is allowed up to 3 re-entries during late registration, which will remain open until the start of play on Day 2.
Last year's event saw Brazilian User GoianoVix take down the first place prize, taking home an impressive $259,474 for his efforts. While the reigning champion has not registered at this point, a couple of familiar PokerStars pros will be in the field, as both Lex "L. Veldhuis" Veldhuis and Sebastian ''peace&loove'' Huber have registered.
Be sure to stay tuned into PokerNews for all the action from these thrilling four day Main Events. Coverage of the other SCOOP Main Events can be found in the PokerStars SCOOP Hub.
