Great news for poker tournament fans, the 2nd biggest online poker event of the year just got underway. The ‘Spring Championship Of Online Poker’ (known as the ‘SCOOP’) runs over at PokerStars. What you’ll love about this one is that there are 3 levels of buy-ins so that everyone from occasional / recreational players through to high-rollers get a chance at the big prize money.
… And I mean big – there is a staggering $40,000,000 in guaranteed prize money – and this is usually well beaten too.
The event started yesterday (12th May) and will continue through to the 26th with some mind-boggling main event action. There are a total of 44 events taking place, the lowest buy-in is just $7.50c and the biggest $21,000 and $10,300 (yep, those are online tournament buy-ins, plenty at $2,100 too). The mid-level events range from $55, $82, then $109 (mostly rebuys) through to $530 with a common theme at the $215 level.
