Francisco "Tomatee" Benitez Wins the 2021 PokerStars SCOOP-53-H: $10,300 NLHE PKO High Roller ($265,367)

Francisco "Tomatee" Benitez navigated through a star-studded final table including beating Day 1 chip leader Dario "Secret_M0d3" Sammartino (second - $207,866) heads-up to win the two-day 2021 PokerStars SCOOP-53-H: $10,300 NLHE [8-Max, Progressive KO, High Roller] for $265,367 which includes $146,719 in bounties which exceeds the first-place prize of $118,648. The tournament attracted 93 unique players who reentered 29 times to create a $1,220,000 prize pool to crush the $1 million guarantee.

This is the second SCOOP title for the Uruguayan player as he won the 2019 SCOOP-61-H: $1,050 NLHE [8-Max, Progressive KO] for $128,217. He also won $156,832 in the 2019 WCOOP-22-M: $530 NLHE [8-Max, Super Tuesday SE] so is no stranger to success on the online poker tables.

It was one big name after another hitting the rail during the final stretch at the final table including Daniel "Oxota" Dvoress (third - $125,575), Yuri "theNERDguy" Dzivielevski (fourth - $101,562), Bruno "great dant" Volkmann (fifth - $59,432), Michael "imluckbox" Addamo (sixth - $60,456), Artur "marathur1" Martirosian (seventh - $38,923), Adrian "Amadi_017" Mateos (eighth - $32,410), and Aliaksei "ale6ka" Boika (ninth - $25,257).

"FiatEruditio" Wins SCOOP-53-M: $1,050 NLHE PKO Thursday Thrill SE ($154,986)

The SCOOP-53-M: $1,050 NLHE PKO Thursday Thrill SE was another two-day event that began on Thursday and ended on Saturday with players having Friday away from the grind. The event pulled in 1,178 entries and just 142 returned for the final day. When the last chance saloon had closed for business on Day 2, it was Russia's "FiatEruditio" reigning supreme for a total payday worth $154,986 including $80,777 in bounties.

A stacked final table saw "FiatEruditio" start on top and somehow manage to keep that lead throughout the entirety of it. They collected four bounties at the last table of the night and when they cashed in their own to go along with those, it was a massive $74,109 in juicy KO's. The Russian added that to their $80,877 first-place money to bring their total prize money to a cool six-figure payday.

It seemed as if no one could get in the way of "FiatEruditio" who cruised into the winner's circle although it was no easy feat nonetheless. It was fellow Russian "Langolier86" who found themselves in a heads-up match against a colossal stack that was owned by the steamrolling "FiatEruditio". Just a few hands into heads up, "Langolier86" put their stack in with king-queen and they were called by a pair of fives. A nickel instantly landed on the flop and "Langolier86" was dubbed the runner-up, sending over the last bounty of the event to the champion.

Notable players at the final table included Felipe "ketzerfelipe" Ketzer (sixth - $25,169) and Andras "probirs" Nemeth (seventh - $23,901)
