Felipe Boianovsky won the main SCOOP and earned 1,036,200 USD
A few days ago, a major tournament that took place as part of the Spring Championship Of Online Poker ended at PokerStars. It was a central event with a 10,300 USD buy-in. Brazilian Felipe Boianovsky won the main SCOOP and earned 1,036,200 USD. A total of 587 players competed for the prize pool of 5,870,000 USD.
The four-day main started on May 28, and 235 players reached the second day. 71 players got into the prizes. Several PokerStars ambassadors were in the game, but none of them reached the prize zone. Rafael “GM_VALTER” Moraes went the furthest, finishing in the top 100. The third day began with Mike Watson being second in the chip count, but the EPT champion could not realize the advantage and took 16th place.
The chip leader of the final was Deiv4za, who had more than 28 million chips. The first to leave the game was American Landon Tice, who earned a little more than 100,000 USD. hello_totti and Daniel “DaniC19941893” Custodio dropped out next. The remaining six played for about an hour before the reigning champion of the tournament, WelcomelNferNO, went all-in with A-3, but ran into the kings of Paulo “paulinhoo00” Brombin.

The advantage passed from hand to hand, until at one point Boianovsky with a nut straight did not overcome the opponent’s overpair. Bujtas won back some chips, but still conceded.
