SCOOP League captains and draft picks were out in full force for SCOOP 10-H: $1,050 HORSE [6-Max], but when the dust settled, it was Michael "merla888" Gathy, the undrafted Belgian powerhouse, who stood alone at the top.

Team tonkaaaa captain Parker Talbot came closest to stopping him, but Gathy was simply unstoppable in heads-up play.
The final battle wrapped in Limit Hold’em, and Gathy never looked back, grinding Talbot down to his final 2.6 big blinds. A king-three vs. ten-nine showdown followed, and after flopping a nine and rivering a flush, Gathy clinched the $17,365 top prize and locked up his fifth career SCOOP title.

Talbot earned $11,828 and could take pride in a strong Team tonkaaaa showing. His teammates Denis "ADrENalin710" Strebkov and Niclas "flushiisback" Thumm finished fourth and fifth, respectively, helping pad the squad’s SCOOP League point total.

There was also representation from other teams in the money:

• "King153246" (3rd – $8,186) and Patrick "pads1161" Leonard (8th – $1,584) scored for Team Spraggy
• Benny "Rungodlike" Glaser (9th – $1,584) added points to Team Kelvin_FP:AR

In total, 55 entries duked it out for a slice of the $55,000 prize pool, with the top nine players securing a payout.
