PokerStars ambassador Parker "tonkaaaa" Talbot may have won his first-ever live tournament at the 2024 Irish Open, but his quest for an elusive SCOOP victory continued after falling at the last hurdle in SCOOP 95-H: $1,050 HORSE.

Fifty-four entries tried their luck in the five-game format that requires a mastery of Hold'em, Omaha Hi-Lo, Razz, Seven Card Stud and Stud Hi-Lo, but only one could prevail.

Fellow Canadian "sandman201" was the player to deny Talbot, who collected the $16,779 windfall as well as SCOOP #3.

There's not too much to report regarding the SCOOP League, as Lex Veldhuis' band of players continue to top the standings as SCOOP inches closer to its conclusion.

Almost 2,000 points separate Team Lex and Team Spraggy, but it was third-placed Team Tonkaaaa who performed best in the latest round of fixtures. They saw an increase of 630 points, the largest of the quartet, while Team Fintan's 195-point haul leaves them favorites for the wooden spoon.

Wednesday is Mystery Bounty day on PokerStars, and three SCOOP editions of the new and exciting format are one step closer to anointing their winners.

The $22 Low edition saw 10,411 entries, making for a $208,220 prize pool. The event awarded a $10,000 top mystery bounty prize, which went to the 805th place finisher "tikidiii". Malta's "vivaodesemprego" leads the pack of 68 survivors and is the runaway leader.

In the Medium Mystery Bounty, which was gatekept with a $109 entry fee, 3,993 entries were recorded. A sizeable $399,300 prize pool was the fruit of all those buy-ins, and the tournament will award $24,402 to the last player standing. Eighty-eight players are still in contention, with "dr0net" currently in pole position. The $30,000 mystery bounty envelope was pulled by Swiss player "traumfinger1".

Another $30,000 Mystery Bounty was up for grabs in the High version, and that went to "dfranco", who ended up as one of the chip leaders after Day 1 dealt its last hand. They've already won more than the $26,667 first-place prize but will, of course, be looking to claim that to sweeten the deal even further.

PokerStars ambassador Laurie "LaliTournier" Tournier is one of the 39 remaining players and also finds herself in the top ten chip counts. Tournier's locked up a respectable $5,738 in bounties already, as well as $870 from the regular prize pool.

Blaz Zerjav

Blaz "Scarmak3r" Zerjav came out on top of a 270-strong field in SCOOP 98-H: $1,050 NLHE 6-Max PKO after a dominant performance at the virtual felt. Zerjav's $63,785 haul was made up of $22,434 from the regular prize pool and an astonishing $41,351 worth of bounty payments. Zerjav's bounty haul was almost as much as first and second place combined.

Zerjav defeated Malta-based star "Haringbuis" heads-up to clinch his third career SCOOP title, and earn some much-needed points for Team Tonkaaaa in the SCOOP League.

Team Tonkaaaa are currently in third place in the standings, but more performances like this from Zerjav, and that could all change.

Seventh Heaven For Denis Strebkov

Denis "aDrENalin710" Strebkov bagged the seventh SCOOP title of his career by taking down SCOOP 101-H: $1,050 5-Card PLO 6-Max PKO. Strebkov outlasted a star-studded cast of 150 entrants and received $32,177 of the $150,000 prize pool.

Austria's Niki "RealAndyBeal" [Removed:552] was the first of the finalists heading for the exits. The untimely demises of "Mescari," QuBall311," MAMbl4" and "mari4ka9510" left Strebkov heads-up against Hungary-based grinder James "TheDrunkLife" Whittet.

Both heads-up players were guaranteed $13,385 plus the bounties they'd collected, but Whittet would not collect any more scalps because he fell at the final hurdle, like so many do when facing Strebkov, and had to make do with an $18,666 score. Strebkov's latest SCOOP victory came with $32,177.

None of the SCOOP League players have earned as many points as Strebkov. The Thailand-based Russian has accumulated 1,950 points, 55 more than the prolific "FAL1st" of Team Spraggy. Strebkov is now tied with Rui "RuiNF" Ferreira, Jussi "calvin7v" Nevanlinna, Mike "SirWatts" Watson, Jerry "Perrymejsen" Odeen, Tobias "Senkel92" Leknes, and Matthew "MUSTAFABET" Ashton on seven wins.
