...But Makes No Mistake in SCOOP-66-H
However, in the other event that Watson was chip leading he made no mistakes, taking home over $80,000 for victory in SCOOP-66-H, defeating a final table that included Conor "1_conor_b_1" Beresford and Thomas "MarToMchat" Boivin.
This took the Canadian to within touching distance of $110,000 in combined cashes from today's two final tables alone.
There was yet another victory for Brazil in the SCOOP-71-H $1,060 NLO8 Turbo 6-Max as Joao "IneedMassari" Simao took down the victory. "
