PokerStars' Spring Championship of Online Poker Begins Today
PokerStars' Spring Championship of Online Poker begins today and runs for the next two weeks. Its unique three buy-ins per event format offers the chance for players with various bankrolls to participate. Last year's SCOOP provided many memorable moments but perhaps none more than Terrence "Unassigned" Chan winning two limit-hold'em six-max events in the same day. Other 2009 SCOOP winners include David "WhooooKidd" Baker, Benny "toweliestar" Spindler, Matt "MCMATTO" Affleck, and Main Event Champion Jude "j.thaddeus" Ainsworth.
