Day: 1
Welcome to Day 1 of the PokerStars SCOOP-33-H: $5,200 NLHE [8-Max, High Roller Club SE], $1M Gtd
The 2021 PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker rolls on today with another big buy-in, big guaranteed prize pool event that will bring out the best and brightest of the poker world, all eager for a massive payday and the chance to call themselves a SCOOP champion. SCOOP-33-H: $5,200 NLHE [8-Max, High Roller Club SE], $1M Gtd offers a seven-figure guaranteed prize pool to players willing to pony up the $5,200 buy-in, and the action kicks off at 1:05 EST.
In yesterday's SCOOP-22-H: $2,100 NLHE [Progressive KO, Thursday Thrill SE], Pedro "LgwZ" Grochocki navigated a tough final table that included Yuri "theNERDguy" Dzivielevski (9th - $20,611) and Jonah "RaiseUpBlind" Silverstein (2nd - $115,069) to earn his first SCOOP title and $181,684 in prize money and bounties. We'll be looking for all three players on the virtual felt today, along with Fedor "CrownUpGuy" Holz, Christoph "26071985" Vogelsang, Timothy "Tim0thee" Adams, and a host of other notables.
Players will start with 100,000 in chips, and blinds begin at 250/500 with a 60 ante. The first four levels are 15 minutes in length, then levels increase to 20 minutes in length for the remainder of Day 1. Late registration for this tournament is open for the first five hours of play, and during that time, any player who busts can re-enter up to two times before being out of the action for good.
Once the field has been reduced to the final nine players, action will end for the day, and players will return Monday at 1:05 EST and enjoy 30-minute levels for the remainder of the tournament. Day 2 action will be covered on the PokerStars Twitch stream on a 30-minute delay, featuring commentary from Joe Stapleton and James Hartigan as well as a rotating cast of guest commentators.
PokerNews is set to follow all the eight-handed action, so be sure to stay tuned as another high-flying weekend of high-stakes tournament action kicks off on PokerStars!
