2017 PokerStars SCOOP Day 15: Brian Rast Wins 2-7 Single Draw Title
Brian ��tsarrast�� Rast became a Spring Championship Of Online Poker champion on Day 15 of the 2017 SCOOP when he topped a field of 157 players in the SCOOP-52-H: $1,050 NL 2-7 Single Draw event, a result that netted him $36,502.
| *Place | Name | Country | Prize |
| 1 | Brian ��tsarrast�� Rast | Brazil | $36,502 |
| 2 | Scott ��gunning4you�� Seiver | Canada | $25,120 |
| 3 | Adam ��Adamyid�� Owen | Mexico | $17,270 |
| 4 | IMluckNuts | Russia | $12,560 |
| 5 | RunGodlike | United Kingdom | $9,420 |
| 6 | bigfox86 | United Kingdom | $7,065 |
| 6 | bencb789 | Austria | $5,495 |
The 157 entries were made up of 73 unique players and 84 reentries and their $1,050 buy-ins created a prize pool of $157,000, which was more than three times the $50,000 guaranteed amount.
World-renowned players Shaun ��shaundeeb�� Deeb (21st for $2,747), Talal ��raidalot�� Shakerchi (20th for $2,747), Chance ��ChanceCU�� Kornuth (18th for $2,747) and Joao ��joaoMathias�� Mathias Baumgarten (15th for $2,747) were among those who finished inside the top 21 places where the prize money was awarded.
By the time the seven-handed final table was set, the least any of the surviving players could win was $5,495. The champion would walk away with a $6,502 score.
Austria��s ��bencb789�� bust in seventh place at the hands of Scott ��gunning4you�� Seiver. The Austrian��s 4?7?3?4?5? couldn��t beat the 2?7?3?4?5? of Seiver and his tournament came to an abrupt end.
Two U.K.-based players, William ��bigfox86�� Foxen and ��RunGodlike�� also fell victim to Seiver and did so in quick succession to leave only four players challenging for the title. Those four became three when ��ImLuckNuts�� moved all in for 12 big blinds with 5?6?9?10?2? and lost to Adam ��Adamyid�� Owen��s superior 7?4?10?5?3?.
Owen, a British pro who played this tournament from Mexico, was eliminated in third place, leaving Seiver and Rast to battle it out heads up for the top prize.
It was a heads-up clash that lasted almost two hours and one that saw the chip lead exchange hands on numerous occasions. Eventually, the tournament swung in Rast��s favor when an all in preflop confrontation saw Seiver��s J?4?8?9?7? lose out to Rast��s 4?10?6?2?8? after both players stood pat.
A couple of hands later, the tournament was all over. Seiver was all in and at risk of busting and he turned over 4?6?3?9?7? and was dominated by Rast��s 8?5?7?3?6?. Seiver fell in second place for $25,120 and Rast claimed the title and the $36,502 first-place prize.
