Pavel Plesuv Bags Second SCOOP Title in a Week
Moldova's Pavel "siilentm0de" Plesuv is now a four-time Spring Championship Of Online Poker (SCOOP) champion after capturing two titles in the space of a few days. Earlier this week, Plesuv won the $1,050 No-Limit Hold'em event for $28,101. On March 14, he took down the $1,050 NLHE Thursday Thrill for another $47,774.
A field of 255 entrants created a $255,000 prize pool. Half of that sum went into the regular prize pool, and the remaning 50% paid out as bounties. Many established grinders finished in the top 31 places, where the regular prize pool was awarded. They included Simon "C. Darwin2" Mattsson, Patrick "pads1161" Leonard, and Team PokerStars' Sebastian "peace&loove "Huber.
Being a $1,050 buy-in tournament, you would expect stars to litter the final table. That happened, with some serious big hitters present and correct.
Vlad "dariepoker" Darie fell in eighth, and Estonia's "DingeBrinker" joined him on the rail one place later.
Brazilian Paulo "paulinhoo00" Brombin exited in fourth, with Bulgaria's "AchoBagdanov" seeing their deep run end in a third-place finish. The Bulgarian's elimination left Plesuv heads-up against Germany's "assel007", and Plesuv got the job done. He scooped his fourth SCOOP title and $47,774 in prize money.
