Joao Vieira is a Now a Seven-Time SCOOP Champion
A compact field of 35 entrants battled it out for supremacy in the $10,300 edition of the Thursday Thrill. Those entrants fought for $200,000 in the regular prize pool, shared by the top five finishers, and another $200,000 in progressive bounty payments. At the end of the night, Joao "Naza114" Vieira was the last player standing. He got his hands on a cool $146,361 and the seventh SCOOP title of his career.
Only the top five finishers won a slice of the regular prize pool, which meant "Tapsicalle?," "stek84," "starswins :)" and Leonard "Grozzorg" Maue all reached the final table but had to make do with the bounties they'd collected on the way there.
Ireland's Conor "conoror96" O'Rourke was the first in-the-money player to bust. His total haul weighed in at $22,491.
Man of the moment, Renan "Internett93o" Bruschi, came close to winning the sixth title of this year's SCOOP, but he ultimately fell in fourth for $33,548.
Third place and $64,986 went to Ole "wizowizo" Schemion, which set up an enticing heads-up battle between Vieira and Enrico "WhaTisLov3" Camosci. The latter fell at the final hurdle and padded his bankroll with $90,736, leaving Vieira to claim a $146,361 top prize plus the seventh SCOOP trophy of his illustrious career.
