We're just under twenty minutes away from the SCOOP Main Events kicking off, with over $10 million in guaranteed prize pools between them.
Currently the SCOOP-L $109 Main Event has over 3,500 entries, the SCOOP-M $1,050 Main Event has over 700 entries and the massive SCOOP-H $10,300 Main Event has 127 entries.
There are plenty of big names in the SCOOP-H: $10,300 Main Event including Conor "1_conor_b_1" Beresford, Simon "C Darwin2" Mattsson, Tom “hitthehole” Middleton, Espen "Hymnb2Ninkasi" Jorstad, Michael "imluckbox" Addamo, Joao "Naza114" Vieira, Patrick "pads1161" Leonard and Jerry "Perrymejsen" Odeen.
The field is up to 215. A reminder that late registration is open until the start of Day 2.
It's early stages — the tournament hasn't even been running for an hour — but the chip leaders are full of big names including nine-time SCOOP title winner Ole Schemion as well as eight-time winners Patrick Leonard and Jerry Odeen.

It's been eight years since Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi stood atop the podium in the SCOOP Main Event to win one of the third of his five SCOOP titles.
In 2016, he beat Sean "Nolez7" Winter heads-up to win over $1.4 million. There were a total of 824 entries that year — how many entries will there be this year?
