Kelvin "Kelvin_FP:AR" Kerber narrowly missed out on capturing his ninth SCOOP title when he finished as the runner-up in SCOOP 06-H: $1,050 NLHE 7-Max. Some 206 players parted company with $1,050 and created a $206,000 prize pool that the top 28 finishers shared.
As you'd expect from a high-stakes SCOOP event, the field was stacked with elite-level grinders. Team PokerStars' Alejandro Lococo bowed out in eighth, which popped the final table bubble, and left Kerber only six eliminations away from becoming a nine-time SCOOP champion.
Kerber eventually found himself heads-up against Slovenia's Igor "Garrin4e" Yaroshevskyy for the title and the $46,350 top prize. Kerber has a stellar one-on-one record, but he had to settle for second place and a $32,960 consolation prize this time around. The SCOOP League points Kerber also collected could make all the difference once the festival concludes.
