Artur Martirosian is among the top 10 heading into Day 2

The second Super Sunday of the 2021 PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) will be a busy one for poker enthusiasts from all over the world. One of the tournaments on the schedule to conclude today is Event SCOOP-28-H: $1,050 NLHE PKO, which will see 131 players out of 1,261 entries return.

They all have hopes of grabbing a decent slice of the $1,261,000 prize pool and have a cash prize of $1,104 locked up. But with every opponent they eliminate, the bankroll will grow further, as will the target on their own head. Among the contenders is also PokerStars ambassador Lex "L. Veldhuis" Veldhuis, who hopes to spin up a short stack.

Dutch poker streamer Tom "Tom_Poker_NL" Talboom leads the field into the final day with a stack of 3,346,984, followed by Hungarian SCOOP regular "Wildace_hun" (3,245,116) and Jakub "Olorionek" Michalak(3,239,693). Only a couple of blinds behind are also Leocir "leocir25" Carneiro (2,860,124) and Matt "OLD TIME GIN" Stone (2,755,275).

2021 EPT Sochi Main Event champion Artur "mararthur1" Martirosian (2,234,442) will aim to score yet another major victory in the virtual arena and further notables with an above-average stack are Aleksejs "APonakov" Ponakovs, Florin "AAgoodfold" Duta, Thiago "KKremate" Crema, Patrick "Egption" Tardif, Jon "luckyfish89" Clark, Pedro "pm_marke" Marques (1,101,477), and Artem "veeea" Vezhenkov (1,086,714).

Lex "L. Veldhuis" Veldhuis is the last ambassador for the red spade in contention with a stack of 301,397, which is good enough for 15 big blinds at the start. For the Dutchman, it was a busy night yesterday as he was also in contention for a SCOOP title at the same time and finished as the runner-up in SCOOP-29-H: $2,100 NLHE [8-Max].

What an insanely tense final table that was. Absolute nailbiter. Blessed to finish 2nd in such a tough field.

The final day commences at 1.05 pm EST with the remainder of level 21 at blinds of 10,000-20,000 and a running ante of 2,500. All levels last 20 minutes each and a long session can be expected until a winner is crowned. Stay tuned to find out who will join the fray of SCOOP champions right here on PokerNews.
