19 Return to Battle It Out for the First-place Prize of $152,011 in SCOOP-40-H
Day 2 of the PokerStars 2020 Spring Championship of Online Poker 40-H: $5,200 PLO [6-Max] starts at 1 p.m EST with 19 players returning to play it out for that first-place prize of $152,011 while they have all already guaranteed at least $11,047.
Coming back with the chip lead is Lauri "Lateski" Varonen with 2,780,996 in chips. Varonen is followed by "kjunia" with 2,570,719 and Ignat "0Human0" Liviu with 1,214,973 in the chip counts. Completing the top five are "vovo_leo" (1,064,056) and "soldatikk" with 970,574.
But don't count out players like "WRUUUM", Connor "blanconegro" Drinan, Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi, Ola "Odd_Oddsen" Amundsgard, Gavin "gavz101" Cochrane, "EEE27", and /"KissMyAcePlz".
When the players return, they will resume Level 21 which has a small blind of 10,000 and big blind of 20,000. Level duration will remain at 20 minutes until Level 37. Play will continue until a new champion has been crowned.
In the meantime, Calvin "cal42688" Anderson is second in chips in the medium buy-in version of this event, he already has 10 SCOOP titles, will he be able to catch number 11 tonight? "kjunia" is also still in that event and so are "vovo_leo" and Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi who will all be trying to win two in a night. But familiar names who entered here are still left in the other tournament like Francisco "Tomatee" Benitez, Patrick "pads1161" Leonard, Alex “alexo18” Manzano and Jamie "Jamie_KK" Kang for example.
