Get Ready For More High Roller Action on Day 1 of SCOOP Event #24-H: $10,300 NLHE High Roller
The sixth day of the 2020 PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) will provide the second five-digit buy-in of the series in SCOOP Event #24-H: $10,300 NLHE High Roller as of 1 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST), which will be played in an eight-max format. Some of the biggest names of the offline and online poker world are expected to battle for yet another SCOOP title and their share of the $1,000,000 guarantee.
Fewer than 24 hours ago the first five-figure buy-in wrapped up as Artur "mararthur1" Martirosyan denied Fedor "CrownUpGuy" Holz a second SCOOP title and claimed his own maiden victory of the flagship online poker series. Both are very likely to take another shot today along with many of those that were in action in Event 17-H: $10,300 NLHE High Roller the previous two days.
The structure is slightly deeper than the predecessor with 18 levels of 20 minutes each followed by 30-minute levels for the remainder of the tournament. All participants receive 250,000 in chips and can re-enter up to two times during the registration period, which lasts for five hours and five minutes of play. For each one hour of play, the initial 60-second time bank will be topped up by another 10 seconds.
A champion won't be crowned today as the tournament is scheduled to conclude for Day 1 as soon as the money bubble has been burst and the remaining contenders then return the following day at 1 p.m. EST.
The PokerNews team will be there from start to finish and provide conclusive updates of the high stakes action.
