Andras "probirs" Nemeth is no stranger to podium finished in high-stakes tournaments at PokerStars, and he came out on top in a SCOOP event for the fourth time in his glistening career, defeating Stumpf heads-up in SCOOP 55-H: $1,050 NLHE 7-Max Turbo PKO.

Some 210 players bought in and created a $210,000 prize pool. Half went on each player's head in the form of a progressive bounty, with the remaining 50% awarded to the top 29 finishers. Luminaries including Niklas "Lena900" Astedt, Yuri "theNERDguy" Dzivielevski, and final table bubble boy Alisson "heyalisson" Piekazewicz were among those who saw a return on their $1,050 investment.

The final table was packed with top-tier players. "aferrao147" was the first of the seven finalists relieved of their stack. Roman "Gogac sniper" Hrabec joined the list of busted players before "DaniC19941893" fell by the wayside in fifth.

Fourth place with to Lithuanian grinder Matas "NoTilit" Cikinas, with 2023 SCOOP Main Event champion Felipe "lipe piv" Boianovsky crashing out in third.

Boianovsky's untimely demise left Nemeth heads-up against Stumpf. Both players locked in $17,945 from the main prize pool, leaving the now five-figures worth of final bounties to play for. Nemeth managed to stop Stumpf in his tracks, resigning the runner-up to a $22,648 consolation prize while securing SCOOP title number four and $47,218 for himself.
