Poker Gods Punish Spraggy for Early Celebration
Kerber's Two Wins Not Enough for Team Spraggy
In a stunning performance in the Fixed Limit Hold'em streets, Team Spraggy pick Kelvin "Kelvin_FP:AR" Kerber bagged his fifth and sixth SCOOP titles after taking down SCOOP 64-M: $109 FLHE [6-Max], and SCOOP 64-H: $530 FLHE [6-Max].
The two victories paid out a combined score of $11,057, which boosted his daily taller to over $20,000 after his ninth-place finish in the High Mystery Bounty event netted him a further $9,388.
Despite this, Kerber's efforts were insufficient to lessen the deficit between Team Spraggy and Team Lex.
Thanks to Jerry "perrymejsen" Odeen getting his seventh SCOOP accolade in SCOOP 60-M: $109 Razz and Leonard's Mystery Bounty win, Team Lex increased the gap by a further 185 points.
Team Tonkaaa and Team Fintan continue to trail behind and will need their horses to hit a canter for any hopes of coming out on top.
Team | Points | Change |
---|---|---|
Lex | 7,880 | +1,190 |
Spraggy | 6,225 | +1,005 |
Tonkaaaa | 3,835 | +385 |
Fintan | 3,225 | +340 |
Memorable Night for Chew and "Klopp4zeKop"
In the high version of the Wednesday Mystery Bounty, which came with a $2,100 buy-in, Stevan "random_chu" Chew topped the 144 entry-field for his maiden SCOOP win. The Australian denied Jans "Graftekkel" Arends a fourth title after coming out on top in their heads-up duel. Chew added $50,751 to his bankroll, while Arends took home $30,390.
Similar to the Medium edition, the Mystery Bounty prizes had a significant influence on who won the most money. Malta's "Klopp4zeKop" binked the $30,000 envelope, making up for half of the $60,000 he collected in bounties. His fourth-place result produced a $73,527 payout, the largest SCOOP prize of the day.
