$1,050 Main Event Dia 2 | 2023 PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker

2023-05-29 15:24 UTC

A Long and Action-Packed Day 2 Ahead in the $1,050 PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker Main Event

Welcome to Day 2 of the 2023 $1,050 PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) Main Event . The action is set to kick off at 12:35 p.m. Eastern Time and the field will play well into the money, with the plan being to leave only 80 competitors with chips at the end of the day.

On Day 1, 3,845 entries were made by 2,664 unique players. Out of them, only 1,278 found a way to Day 2. Canada’s ”Zabiggesmaj” bagged the chip lead with a whopping 1,469,772 chips, equating to almost 15 starting stacks and 250 big blinds. Christoph "26071985" Vogelsang (1,067,360) and Roman "RomeOpro" Romanovsky (1,047,595) also found themselves with over one million chips at the end of the day, and thus in the top ten of the leaderboard.

When play ended on Day 1, the $4,000,000 guaranteed prize pool had not been reached yet. However, with late registration being open until the start of today, that is very likely to change. At the time of writing the clock reads 3,981 entries, with a top prize of over $570,000. Those numbers are sure to still rise, as many more are expected to take a final shot at becoming a SCOOP Main Event champion in the hour that remains until play commences.

Among those that have already made a reentry for the starting stack of 100,000 are Daniel "SmilleThHero" Smiljkovic, Gilles "TaxationIsTheft" Simon, and Pedro "kurtWSOP" Cavalieri. PokerStars Ambassador Fintan “easywithaces” Hand will also make a last-minute appearance, as he was the only one of the “Red Spades” who did not succeed in making Day 2.

Fintan Hand — Fintan \"easywithaces\" Hand

As stated, the tournament will recommence at 12:35 p.m. Eastern Time. The blinds will start at 3,000/6,000 with an ante of 750, and Day 2 will last for as many 20-minute levels as it takes to whittle the field down from over 1,400 people to the final 80.

Stay tuned as PokerNews will provide all of the exciting action on the bubble-bursting Day 2 of SCOOP 108-M: $1,050 Main Event, as well as the $109 Low and $10,300 High versions of the tournament.

Hand and Talbot Fall in the Early Minutes

Nível 17 : 3,000/6,000, 750 ante

Fintan "easywithaces" Hand had rebought at the start of the day and was sitting in the big blind with a stack of 78,781 chips. The action folded around to "__P0o_P0o__" in the small bind, and they jammed all in, covering Hand's stack. Hand made the call and was at risk of an early night.

Fintan "easywithaces" Hand: K♦8♠
"__P0o_P0o__": Q♠6♣

Hand was ahead preflop, but "__P0o_P0o__" flopped top pair on Q♦10♠3♥. The turn 4♦ and river 8♣ did not bring a king for hand, and he was one of the many eliminations in the first minutes of play.

On another table, Parker "tonkaaaa" Talbot also saw his main event dreams come to an end.

Nível 19 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

"BlindGuy789" raised to 16,000 from under the gun and Lex "L. Veldhuis" Veldhuis defended his big blind. On the 2♦J♠10♥ flop, "BlindGuy789" continued for another 13,200 and Veldhuis check-called.

The 9♦ turn came about and Veldhuis checked again. This time, "BlindGuy789" bet 21,120 and Veldhuis responded by putting his opponent all-in for 122,499 total. "BlindGuy789" made the call and Veldhuis was looking to score a knock-out.

"BlindGuy789": J♣Q♦
Lex "L. Veldhuis" Veldhuis: 9♣10♠

A fortunate turn for Veldhuis, who made two pair. He faded the straight and other outs of his opponent on the 6♥ river and scored another pot. He has already tripled his stack since the start of play as he is looking to make another deep run this SCOOP.

Colillas Calls Correctly to Enter the Milly Club

Nível 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 1,250 ante

The action folded to "Avrora-sp" in the small blind and they made a raise to 35,600. Ramon "RamonColillas" Colillas sat in the big blind and called the raise.

The pair checked the 3♠K♣J♦ flop before "Avrora-sp" made a bet of 45,000 on the 10♦ turn. Colillas called and the 2♦ river appeared.

"Avrora-sp" now made an overbet of 210,000. Colillas took some time before he eventually came up with the call. "Avrora-sp" could only show a bluff with A♣4♦, while Colillas made a courageous call with his top pair, holding K♥9♦.

Colillas now joins the rank of players with more than one million chips in their stack.

Schneiders Secures a Double

Nível 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante

Felix "xflixx" Schneiders was down to 143,344 chips and went all-in from under the gun. The action folded to "andresds" on the button, who three-bet all-in himself for 360,955. The blinds folded and Schneiders was at risk to exit in the prebubble phase of the tournament.

Felix "xflixx" Schneiders: 7♠7♥
"andresds": A♣Q♣

No cards with letter on them appeared on the 5♦9♦6♥5♠3♠ board, and clubs remained absent as well. Schneiders doubled up as his hopes of a deep Main Event run continue to be alive.

Adams Doubles Up in Huge Preflop Confrontation

Nível 22 : Blinds 7,000/14,000, 1,750 ante

Timothy "Tim0thee" Adams open-raised to 30,800 from the cutoff before "jonespkr" promptly shoved 546,533 chips in the middle from the small blind. This amount covered Adams by around 20,000 chips, but that did deter the seasoned pro from making the call.

Timothy "Tim0thee" Adams: A♣K♣
"jonespkr": A♠J♠

While the board brought a wheel draw for both players in way of 3♦5♦10♣4♠, the river 5♣ paired the board and thus Adams secured a big double-up, while "jonespkr" was left with less than two big blinds, which he would lose one hand later.

"Manni1822" Bubbles the SCOOP Medium Main Event

Nível 24 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 2,500 ante

"Manni1822" was automatically all-in from the big blind on the stone bubble. "3betwizkid" then open-raised to 40,000 and Timothy "Tim0thee" Adams flat-called from the small blind.

The flop of J♣3♥J♥ saw Adams check-call a 20,000 minbet from "3betwizkid" before the pair checked the 5♥ turn.

On the K♠ river, Adams checked once more and folded once "3betwizkid" put another 72,000 into the pot. "3betwizkid" showed K♥9♦ for a rivered pair, while "Manni1822" was stuck with ten-high, having received a holding of 10♦6♠

Thus, the bubble had burst, and all 591 remaining players secured the $2,279.23 mincash.

Shortly before, Sam "SamSquid" Grafton, unfortunately, fell in 596th place and could not join the celebrations

Nível 25 : Blinds 12,500/25,000, 3,250 ante

Jargo "bungakat" Alavali raised to 52,500 from the cutoff and "StrongQueenAA" flat-called from the button. "Niko2628" then three-bet shoved for 427,946 before Alavali reshoved, covering "StrongQueenAA"s 800,000 stack.

"StongQueenAA" let their hand go, and the other two players revealed their holdings.

"Niko2628": 7♣7♠
Jargo "bungakat" Alavali: 10♣10♥

Alavali had the dominating pocket pair, and it would remain the best hand on 4♦4♠3♠K♣9♥. Scoring a pot of nearly one million, Alavali now plays double that amount.

PokerStars Ambassadors Win and Bust

Nível 26 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 3,750 ante

"behindme93" minraised to 60,000 from under the gun and Alejandro "[Papo]AR" Lococo made it 150,000 to go from the button, leaving himself only 15,956 chips back. The action folded back to "behindme93", who put in the extra chips as well and Lococo made the call.

Alejandro "[Papo]AR" Lococo: A♥10♠
"behindme93": J♦10♦

It was looking good for Lococo, however, "behindme93" took the lead when the flop hit J♥K♥4♣. The turn 5♠ and river 7♠ did not contain any of Lococo's outs, and he was eliminated from the tournament.

Simultaneously, at another table, "meM@nu" opened his button to 66,000 before Ramon "RamonColillas" Colillas made the call from the big blind.

Colillas then check-raised "meM@nu"s 44,250 bet to 150,000 on a flop of Q♦9♦Q♣ and received a call from his opponent. The 6♦ turn saw another 225,00 bet from Colillas, and again "meM@nu" called.

On the 10♠ river, Colillas made a bet big enough to cover "meM@nu"s 559,920 remaining chips. They immediately called and saw that Colillas had rivered a full house with his Q♥10♦. "meM@nu", on the other hand, had hit his gutshot straight draw on the same river with K♥J♦.

"meM@nu" busted, while Colillas now plays a huge stack of nearly 100 big blinds.
