The $5,200 Titans Event is one of PokerStars' toughest weekly tournaments, but it becomes even more difficult to win during SCOOP when superstar players from all over the world flock to it.

Only nine of the 128 starters remain in contention for the $140,278 prize pool, with each of the nine finalists guaranteed $18,629 for their efforts thus far. You only need to look at the star-studded final table to see why the Titans Event is one of the most prestigious on the 2024 SCOOP schedule.

Veldhuis returns to the action at 5:30 p.m. WET on May 13 with 1,369,399 chips, enough for fifth place at the restart. Mexico-based Russian "hello_totti" leads the way with 2,180,863 chips, with Yuri "theNERDguy" Dzivielevski (1,980,430) and Kahle "ROFLshove" Burns (1,825,573) making up the podium positions. Ukraine's Roman "RomeOpro" Romanovsky (1,426,220) is the only other player with more chips than Veldhuis at this stage.

Even the players with fewer chips than Veldhuis will play a significant role in where the top prize ends up. "Wildace_hun" of Hungary (1,264,292) knows their way around a poker table, as do the Dominican Republic's "Nacho124441" (1,099,705) and Patrick "pads1161" Leonard (957,193), who is part of veldhuis' SCOOP League team. Event "kirbyl0ve" (696,325) cannot be considered out of the reckoning.
