FAL1st Takes Down the $1K FLO8; Moves to 13 Victories
Mixed game specialist "FAL1st" became only the fifth player in history to rack up at 13 victories in SCOOP events when he triumphed over a star-studded field in the $1,050 Fixed Limit Omaha Hi-Lo event.
Fifty-seven entries were processed, resulting in a $57,000 prize pool that the top 11 finishers shared. Brazilian Bernardo "bedias" Dias was the unfortunate soul who popped the money bubble.
Benny "RunGodlike" Glaser was one of the handful of players who cashed but failed to reach the final table. Renan "Internett93o" Bruschi was another; he was eliminated in eighth.
Any of the seven finalists would have made a worthy champion. "king153246," Andrey "Premove" Skvortsov, and Christian "Cmoosepower" Elgstrom were the first finalists to crash out. The United Kingdom's "AmateurGOAT" fell in fourth place before "Dart Serg" of Belarus fell in third.
"FAL1st" then sent another Belarusian, Andrey "Gigaloff" Zhigalov, home in second place, locking in the $13,902 top prize and an impressive 13th career SCOOP title. This latest win ties "FAL1st" with Patrick "pads1161" Leonard and the aforementioned Skvortsov, and trailing Swedish duo Simon "C. Darwin2" Mattsson and Jerry "Perrymejsen" Odeen by a single victory.
