Canada's Pascal "Pass_72" Lefrancois is now a three-time SCOOP champion after staging an impressive comeback to defeat Mike "SirWatts" Watson heads-up in SCOOP 117-H: $5,200 PLO 6-Max Main Event. Lefrancois was 5-to-1 down against Watson at one stage of the one-on-one encounter but doubled up, pushed into the lead, and never looked back.

The tournament drew in 121 entrants who created a $605,000 prize pool. $132,607 of that sum is now nestled in the PokerStars account of Lefrancois, and deservedly so. For Watson, he missed out on what would have been an eighth career SCOOP title, although the $99,951 he banked for his bridesmaid finish will go some way to numbing the pain.
