Irish Open Champion Ian Simpson Adds SCOOP Title
Ian "Simpioni" Simpson captured his first SCOOP title after winning SCOOP 53-M: $55 NLHE [Deep Stacks], topping a field of 2,394 entries to earn $17,592 from the $119,700 prize pool.
Simpson had to contend with a final table packed with Brazilian players but managed to navigate through the field before defeating "Tiumunin" heads-up to seal the win.
The timing could hardly be better. The Irish Open kicks off in just a couple of weeks, a tournament that holds special significance for Simpson.
It was there in 2013 that he won the Main Event, a victory made even more memorable when he proposed to his now wife shortly after the win.
