Who Will Win the First 2020 SCOOP-H $10,300 PLO 6-Max Main Event?
Two full days have been played to their conclusion in the PokerStars 2020 Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP)-75-H: $10,300 PLO 6-Max Main Event and just seven players remain with their sights set upon the first of three Pot-Limit Omaha Main Event titles in the 2020 version of PokerStars�� iconic SCOOP series that is set to begin at 1:05 p.m. ET/7:05 p.m. CET.
A total of 159 entries from 98 players were logged in the tournament, which featured a registration period that was open until the beginning of Day 2. Up to three entries were allowed, and Connor ��blanconegro�� Drinan was one of those to need all three bullets before beginning to make a run. Drinan enters the final table of seven with the chip lead, taking a stack of 12.09 million into the day after surging to the top of the leader board during the last level of play on Day 2.
Jens ��Jeans89�� Kyllonen (8.59 million) and Joao ��Naza114�� Vieira (6.66 million) follow Drinan in the counts. Vieira is looking for his second SCOOP title of the series after taking down Event #33-M, a $1,050 NLHE Progressive Knockout for $186.342 nearly two weeks ago. This will be his second appearance at a SCOOP-H final table in the past week after taking second place in Event #62-H ($5,200 NLHE PKO High Roller) for $102,900 last Friday.
A trio of players from the United Kingdom in ��Kukenmuser��, Gavin ��gavz101�� Cochrane, and Talal ��raidalot�� Shakerchi enter the final table fourth-through-sixth in chips, and Day 1 Chip Leader Linus ��LLinusLLove�� Loeliger rounds out the Day 3 roster, coming into the day with 1.17 million.
Play will resume at 1:05 p.m. ET/7:05 p.m. CET in Level 29 with blinds of 50,000/100,000. All seven remaining players are guaranteed at least $66,762, and levels will remain 30 minutes in length for the remainder of the tournament when the top prize of $332,264 has been claimed.
