The final table of the 2021 PokerStars SCOOP-72-H: $10,300 NLHE [8-Max] is slated to resume at 7:05 p.m. CEST with Jon "apestyles" Van Fleet holding the chip lead with 8,218,008 in chips. Day 1 attracted 73 unique players who reentered 47 times to get 120 entries in total. A prize pool of $1,200,000 was amassed with the lion's share of it being awarded today.

But Van Fleet won't be cruising to an easy win as some of the elite of the poker world will be joining him on the final table. Thomas "WushuTM" Muehloecker, Wiktor "Iimitless" Malinowski, Christian "WATnlos" Rudolph, Bruno "great dant" Volkmann, Linus "LLinusLLove" Loeliger, Damian "pampa27" Salas, Christoph "26071985" Vogelsang, and Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi will all be doing their utmost to try and claim the victory for themselves.
