Nearly 1000 runners paid a hefty buy-in of $2100 to compete in the high orbit of SCOOP Event 37. The game was the Cadillac of poker: No Limit Hold ‘Em. The eventual champion was Taknapotin. He battled through a tough field to claim just over $230,000. The final three players took nearly an hour to make deal that would leave $15,000 on the table to play for. Runner-up jcamby33 is a poker legend, and now has over $1 million in profit from PokerStars MTTs.

In the medium event, almost 7000 runners formed a prizepool that exceeded $1,000,000. It took nearly 20 hrs, but shuriken555 came out on top. His $205,000 score must have been some kind of vindication for the time he finished sixth in the PokerStars Sunday Million. For second place finisher “Had to be”, it had to be a great feeling to pocket over $150,000. His biggest previous score was a measly $900.
