Hungarian superstar Andras "probirs" Nemeth added a fourth SCOOP title to his already impressive poker CV when he came out on top in the SCOOP 55-H: $1,050 NLHE 7-Max Turbo PKO. Nemeth outlasted a talented 210-strong field to capture SCOOP title number four and $47,218 in prize money.

Victory in high-stakes events is never easy because of the high-quality players that frequent them. Nemeth had to contend with the likes of Roman "Gogac sniper" Hrabec, reigning SCOOP High Main Event Champion Felipe "lipe piv" Boianovsky, and his heads-up opponent, Matthew "Stumfed" Stumpf.

Earlier this week, Stumpf won two SCOOP events in the space of three hours, but Nemeth denied him a remarkable hat trick.
