Peter Traply Secures His Sixth SCOOP Title
Hungarian star Peter "Belabacsi" Traply is now a six-time SCOOP champion after he took down the $215 No-Limit Hold'em Turbo Copacabana for $15,908. The online poker veteran won his first SCOOP title in 2010, the series' first year. Fifteen years later, Traply is still mixing it up with the best of them.
Traply came out on top of a 443-strong field in this $215 buy-in event. Plenty of big names finished in the top 63 places where the $88,600 was shared. They included Patrick "pads1161" Leonard, "FAL1st," and Vlad "dariepoker" Darie.
The final table was littered with established grinders, including "StupidFr3nch" (9th - $1,346), "tekelson221" (6th - $3,089), Brandon "Tyrion2205" Sheils (4th - $5,950), and "assel007" (3rd - $8,259).
Heads-up saw Traply defeat another SCOOP legend, Simon "C. Darwin2" Mattsson, preventing him from winning what would have been his 15th SCOOP event. Instead, Traply moved to six SCOOP victories, ranking him alongside the likes of Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi, Blaz "Scaremak3r" Zerjav, and a certain Shaun "shaundeeb" Deeb.
