Warming Up for a Big Sunday: SCOOP-73-H: $2,100 NLHE [Sunday Warm-Up SE] Starts Soon
The Sunday Warm-Up, long a fixture on players’ weekend schedules, is today another Special Edition, part of the mammoth Spring Championship of Online Poker 2020 on PokerStars: SCOOP-73-H: $2,100 NLHE [Sunday Warm-Up SE], $750k Gtd. The hefty guarantee, the glamorous lure of one of the toughest titles to snaffle, and the huge popularity of this series overall in “unprecedented times” mean that today’s Day 1 is likely to be stacked with well-known online superstars. Plenty of up-and-coming players, too, have featured at the top online level so far this month, whose routes to the table have included a multitude of satellites into the High levels of SCOOP.
With a starting stack of 100,000 and 20 minute blinds throughout Day 1 (initial blinds 250/500), the high numbers of high-rolling contenders expected to take up today’s challenge have plenty of room to manoeuvre (and an optional two re-entries should that room run out). Late registration is open for half of today’s scheduled nine hours of play; Day 2 will start tomorrow (May 18th) at 6:05pm WET (1:05pm EST).
Coverage of this event will begin with the first virtual cards in the air at 15:30 WET.
