PokerStars' Lex Veldhuis in the Hunt for Back-to-Back SCOOP $5,200 Titans Titles
The $5,200 Titans is one of the flagship Sunday tournaments on PokerStars, and this SCOOP edition is no exception. As always, a plethora of high rollers turned up, with this week's instalment attracting 123 entries and generating a $615,000 prize pool.
From the field, just nine remain, and best placed to collect the $59,669 up top is Ukraine's Vlad "VladTheSlaye" Martynenko (3,893,326, 111BBs), who has more than double his closest rival in Vlad "dariepoker" Darie (1,718,113, 49BBs).
Veldhuis (1,442,927, 41BBs), the defending champion, rounds out the top three chip counts in his pursuit of back-to-back titles. Another player representing the Spadie brand is also in contention as Alejandro "[Papo]AR" Lococo sits in the middle of the pack with a stack of 30 big blinds.
