St3r sy'n reraised gyd i mewn ar gyfer 286,312 o bobl ddall bach. römpsä plygu yn gyflym yn y dall mawr, a sosickPL gwneud yr alwad.

Tua 20 munud yn ddiweddarach, y llenni wedi symud i 10,000 / 20,000 pan UrMySponsor codi i 40,000 o sefyllfa yn gynnar, yna römpsä gwthio'n ar gyfer 456,646 o gwpl o seddau dros.

Ond tair diamonds wedi taro'r bwrdd erbyn troad, a r4st4f4ri goroesi.

UrMySponsor reraised i 148,777 oddi wrth y dall bach, ac mae'n plygu yn ôl i sosickPL sy'n ei gwneud yn 287,554 i fynd. UrMySponsor yna gwthio i gyd i mewn ar gyfer cyfanswm 1,359,074, a elwir yn sosickPL.

UrMySponsor: [5h] [5]

Sedd 5: Fiskin1 (3,337,581 yn sglodion)
Sedd 6: Mike "SirWatts" Watson (1,813,585 yn sglodion)

Nid oedd yn cymryd yn hir i weld gweithredu mawr. RomeOpro enillodd y pot cyntaf, sglodion 770K werth, wrth [kh] [QC] yn dda ar [9c] [K] [3c] [9] [4h] bwrdd yn erbyn ddau Fiskin1 a WPT Bellagio Cwpan IV pencampwr Mike "SirWatts" Watson. Tri dwylo diweddarach 7tHEcROw7 cael yr holl-mewn ar gyfer 386k cyn y fflop gyda [TC] [Telerau], a oedd yn dal i fyny yn erbyn SirWatts '[6c] [6h]. A dwy dwylo ar ôl y byddai 7tHEcROw7 sglodion unwaith eto, gan gymryd y pentwr tabl byr mewn un arall preflop, pâr-dros-paru sefyllfa. Turko_man 's [Th] [Td] na allai 7tHEcROw7 brig [JC] [JH], gwneud y chwaraewr Sbaeneg gorffen y twrnamaint yn 6ed safle ($ 50,400).

Deep cyrn, chwarae cryf

Nid yw'r quickness yr allanfa gyntaf dyblygu ar gyfer yr un nesaf. Pob un o'r pum chwaraewr arall wedi cael o leiaf 1.1M sglodion mewn chwarae (da am 72 bleindiau mawr ar 8K/16K) ac yn setlo i mewn i rythm gyfforddus o ymosodol, ôl-fflop poker. Dim ond ar ôl i'r llenni wedi cynyddu i 10K/20K wnaeth pob un arall-yn gwrthdaro ddigwydd, un a welodd mindgamer Awstria dwbl drwy Fiskin1 â [9c] [9h] erbyn [2d] [2h]. Bod pot 1.42m-sglodion - y mwyaf y twrnamaint hyd yn hyn gan 400K - Cedwir y chwaraewr Awstria yn y cymysgedd a gwastad ar y sglodyn yn cyfrif ychydig. Er Fiskin1 yn corn yn dal i fod yn werth 150 bleindiau mawr, mae'n nid oedd bob chwaraewr arall wrth y bwrdd a gwmpesir.

Byddai awr o chwarae yn mynd yn ôl yn yr un modd cyn dileu nesaf. Gyda'r bleindiau yn 15K/30K, symudodd Wcráin yn RomeOpro holl-mewn ar gyfer 559K o'r cutoff. SirWatts hynysu gyda phob-yn symud ac yn troi i fyny [Ah] [Th], a oedd o flaen y yn Wcreineg [Kc] [QC]. Mae'r [8c] [Ad] [6 oed] fflop rhoddodd Watson fantais hyd yn oed yn fwy, a'r tro [Ac] a [5h] afon a wnaed swyddogol allanfa RomeOpro yn y 5ed safle ($ 84,000).

Bod pot 1.16M-sglodion rhoddodd Watson pentwr cyfanswm o 3.06M, yn dda i arwain y blaen i mindgamer (2.87M), Fiskin1 (1.48M), a 7tHEcROw7 (972K). Mae'r fyr 4 sôn am wneud llawer ond unwaith y bydd y niferoedd sglodion-chop yn dod i mewn yn gyflym rhoi'r gorau i'r syniad a dewis i gadw chwarae. Am bron i awr maent yn parhau i Joust â'i gilydd heb unrhyw un sy'n peryglu eu bywyd twrnamaint, gwylio'r bleindiau yn symud i fyny at 17.5K/35K cyn 7tHEcROw7 goroesi gyda [Ah] [QD] Fiskin1 yn erbyn [Gan] [Th] am 1.19M sglodion-pot. Mae dwylo yn ddiweddarach mindgamer goroesi sefyllfa debyg, gan ennill gyda [Ad] [K] i SirWatts '[O] dyblu [JC] ar gyfer pot gwerth 2.05M, ond yna 7tHEcROw7 hyd at 2.19M gyda [Kc] [QH] yn erbyn y cyn-[Ah] [Fel].

Nid tan y llenni wedi codi i 20K/40K gyda 5K cyn y byddai'r chwaraewr nesaf yn cael ei anfon at y rheilffyrdd. Dechreuodd y llaw gyda'r camau plygu i Fiskin1, sy'n ei roi mewn codi i 110K o'r ddall bach. SirWatts gwneud yr alwad yn y dall mawr i weld fflop o [O] [7] [8c]. Fiskin1 arwain allan am bet hanner pot o 120k a Watson galw; ar y tro [Kc], bet Fiskin1 280k a Watson eto o'r enw. Mae'r cerdyn afon oedd y [6 oed] ac ar ôl trochi yn yr amser a dewisodd banc Fiskin1 i symud yr holl-mewn ar gyfer 845K i mewn i'r pot 1.04m-sglodion. Nid oedd Watson gwastraffu llawer o amser gyda galw [TC] [9c] ar gyfer y rivered 10-uchel yn syth, a oedd yn dda yn erbyn y Fiskin1 [2d] [2h]. Gyda hynny, Fiskin1 busted yn 4ydd ($ 117,600).

Gyda sglodion 4.35M i 7tHEcROw7 yn 2.37M a mindgamer yn 1.66M, Watson yn awr yn edrych yn werth da am fuddugoliaeth. Ar ôl 15 munud o barhau i sglodion i fyny ar draul ei wrthwynebwyr ', cafodd ei hun mewn sefyllfa i guro allan ddau ohonynt ar yr un pryd yn y pot tair ffordd, y mwyaf y twrnamaint cyfan:

Byddai unrhyw ace, brenhines, neu rhaw ar y tro neu afon wedi rhoi Watson y fuddugoliaeth heb orfod playheads i fyny. Yn lle hynny daeth y mindgamer gorffen 3ydd-waith ($ 168,000) a 7tHEcROw7 ennill pot 5.34M-sglodion i achub ar y blaen wrth i'r ornest derfynol ddechrau.

Dau chwaraewr, un teitl

Mae'r ddau o'r chwaraewyr yn chwilio am weddill eu teitlau RHAW gyntaf ar ôl yn flaenorol wedi dod i fyny byr. SirWatts wedi gorffen yn yr 2il ddwywaith o'r blaen, bythefnos yn ôl mewn Digwyddiad 9-H ac yn ôl yn 2010 yn Digwyddiad 34-M , ac a gymerodd 5ed eleni Digwyddiad 25-H . Ei wrthwynebydd, 7tHEcROw7, wedi gorffen 6ed yn y llynedd Digwyddiad 37-M . Roedd yn gyfle euraidd i ddau chwaraewr.

Ar y llaw yn unig ail pennau i fyny chwarae, 7tHEcROw7 ymestyn yr awenau sglodion. Mae dwy ran o dair o Watson corn gwneud ei ffordd i'r chwaraewr DU ar ôl 7tHEcROw7 arwain ar y fflop ac dro ond gwirio yr afon ar fwrdd o [KD] [3s] [5] [QH] [2h]; Watson tanio oddi ar 1.02 M-sglodion glogwyn dal [9] [6 oed], ond 7tHEcROw7 alwad gyda [kh] [TC] yn dda ar gyfer y pot 4.08M-sglodion.

Mae hynny'n gadael Watson gyda bleindiau mawr yn unig 969K, neu 24, a oedd yn fwy na digon ar gyfer y pro Canada i yn ymladd yn erbyn. Llwyddodd i ddyblu dwylo i fyny ychydig yn ddiweddarach gyda [3c] [3s] erbyn [Ad] [Js] a dringo yn ôl hyd at 2.39M, ac y byddai'n cicio i fyny ychydig ymhellach i 2.56M ar ôl ychydig Dwyn ddall. Ond fel y digwyddodd, byddai hynny'n mor agos ag y cafodd i ennill yn ystod y gêm 41-law. 7tHEcROw7 dechreuodd sglodion yn ôl i fyny ar ôl i'r llenni yn myned i fyny i 25K/50K, gan ennill ychydig dros hanner y potiau ac yn rheolaidd yn hawlio mwy o faint nes Watson yn dal 1.43M y sglodion 8.4m mewn chwarae. Dyna pryd y daeth llaw terfynol am:

Enillodd Mike "SirWatts" Watson $ 220,920 ar gyfer ei ail yn ail gorffeniad y gyfres hon RHAW, ei sgôr mwyaf erioed mewn twrnamaint PokerStars. 7tHEcROw7, yn y cyfamser, gafael yn $ 298,200 ar gyfer y fuddugoliaeth, tocio 1 blaenorol gyrfa-sgôr gorau gan bron $ 270,000.

With five remaining, hunwei held the lead with 13.9 million, carrycakes was second with 10.3 million. PSÄ! held the middle spot with 8.8 million. Bringing up the rear were ministerborg's 5.6 million and scrooch025's 5.2 million.

FOR YOU BLUE: carrycakes eliminated in 5th place

Just when it looked like ministerborg was on his way out... he stormed back with a timely double up against carrycakes. Sure, ministerborg was behind with [As][6d] against carrycakes' [Ac][9c]. However, the [6c] spiked on the turn and ministerborg avoided an elimination. He doubled to over 9.7 million.

Still reeling from the sting of a bad beat, carrycakes met his demise when his [9d][9s] lost a flip against hunwei's [As][Qh]. Both players bombed it all-in preflop. The board ran out [Qd][5s][2h][3d][4d] and hunwei won the hand with a Wheel. For fifth place, carrycakes collected $152,703.27.

With four to go, hunwei improved to 17 million.

DIG IT: PSÄ! eliminated in 4th place

PSÄ! opened to 500,300, ministerborg raised to 1,214,555, PSÄ! re-raised to 2,253,050, ministerborg re-raised all-in to 11,270,370, and PSÄ! had him slightly covered and called. ministerborg was flipping with [7h][7d] against PSÄ!'s [As][Jd]. The board ran out [Ac][7s][4h][4c][6c] and ministerborg won the 22.9 million pot with a full house. PSÄ! was crippled and busted out on the next hand when ministerborg finally finished him off with [Kh][Jh] against [Th][5s]. For fourth place, PSÄ! won $205,102.50.

With three remaining, ministerborg was ahead with 23.4 million, hunwei was second with 16.7 million, and suarez_BG held 13.3 million.

DEAL?

A deal was floated and guest host Team PokerStars Pro Chris Moneymaker popped into the chat to deliver the deal numbers. However, ministerborg shot it down. Action resumed.

TWO OF US: hunwei eliminated in 3rd place

The action was started by ministerborg, who min-raised to 600,000, hunwei raised to 1.5 million, ministerborg re-raised to 3,145,400, hunwei five-bet to 5.7 million, ministerborg six-bet shoved all-in for 22,957,450, and hunwei called. Classic race with hunwei's [Qd][Qh] battling against ministerborg's [Ad][Kc].The flop was [Ah][4d][3s] and ministerborg took the lead. The turn was the [Jd], and the river was the [As]. ministerborg won the 33.9 million pot. Australia's hunwei earned $296,061.00 for an impressive third-place performance.

HEADS-UP: ministerborg (Denmark) vs.suarez_BG (Bulgaria)
Seat 2: ministerborg (40,116,584)
Seat 8: suarez_BG (13,388,416)

After forty minutes or so of methodical small ball, suarez_BG went on a heater and won eight out of ten pots, including a 34 million doozy, to take the lead. Here's what went down... ministerborg min-raised to 1 million, suarez_BG bumped it up to 2.25 million, ministerborg four-bet shoved for 36,348,157, and suarez_BG called all-in. ministerborg was in trouble with [Ac][7h] against suarez_BG's [Ad][Th]. The board ran out [Ts][6c][5h][6h][Kd] and suarez_BG doubled up to 34.1 million, while ministerborg slipped to under 20 million.

Just when it appeared that suarez_BG seized momentum, ministerborg stopped the bleeding and doubled up in a staggering 31 million pot. Another flip... suarez_BG was racing with [Ac][Kc] against ministerborg's [Ts][Td]. The flop was [Ad][Kh][Tc], and although suarez_BG flopped top two pair, ministerborg took the lead with a set of tens. The turn was the [9s], and the river was the [Qh]. Talk about dodging a bullet... ministerborg avoided elimination and doubled up to regain the lead: 31M to 22M.

It was suarez_BG's turn to launch a counterattack. He won an 8.8 million pot with [Qd][Jh] and a four-flush. After that hand, both players were almost dead even in chips, but ministerborg still held the slight lead.

Then it happened. Another rush for suarez_BG. He won ten out of the last twelve hands and put away ministerborg. The first crushing blow was a 9 million pot. The board read [Kc][5h][3c][4s][Kh], and suarez_BG showed [4d][3d] to win the pot with two pair. After that hand, suarez_BG was in control of the lead with a 2-1 advantage over ministerborg.

THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD: ministerborg eliminated in 2nd place; saurez_BG wins Event #40-M!

On the final hand, after almost eighty minutes of heads-up action... suarez_BG min-raised to 1.2 million, ministerborg re-raised to 2,647,400, suarez_BG four-bet shoved for 41,601,092, and ministerborg called all-in. Both players showed their hands... suarez_BG was ahead with [5s][5h], but he was flipping against ministerborg's [As][Qd]. The board ran out [8d][7c][2d][4d][Js] and suarez_BG's pocket fives held up.

Alas, ministerborg lost the pot and was denied a second SCOOP title after getting knocked out in second place. For a runner-up performance, ministerborg earned $417,339.

Congrats to the suarez_BG, the latest SCOOP champion, who came from behind to win the tournament. The Bulgarian player takes home a sleek champion's watch and $560,019 in cash.

As one of the final table's initial chip leaders, john_tri80 experienced a fair amount of chip stack challenges. Several hours of hard work went into outlasting opponents, but the elimination of Fiskin1 in third place was key in getting to heads-up with the chip lead over FrandsenDK. John_tri80 then stayed aggressive and ended up in the winner's circle in one of the most prestigious online poker events in the world.

*****

We now enter Day 2 of the 2012 SCOOP Main Event Low, the final toast to a 16-day poker festival unlike any seen before in the world of Internet poker. As a reminder of what happened yesterday, let's start with the big numbers:

Players: 22,128
Guarantee: $1,000,000
Prize pool: $2,212,800
Paid players: 3,150

More details from Day 1 of Event 40-L can be found through this link .

When it all wrapped after 40 levels of play, there were 88 players remaining, of which the top 10 and the two Team Pros were listed here:

1. Chojjasd (Malta) - 11,720,410
2. bahia (Brazil) - 9,892.870
3. marius2891 (Romania) - 9,697,612
4. Alex71AMT (Russia) - 9,044,283
5. 22illuminati (Denmark) - 8,218,905
6. tibbs111 (Canada) - 7,662,034
7. Traderzz (Germany) - 7,407,510
8. N.Andris1 (Hungary) - 7,365,726
9. Fiskin1 (UK) - 7,163,196
10. R0BtheT0P (Switzerland) - 7,156,441

19. Team PokerStars Pro Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier (UK) - 5,058,912
23. Team PokerStars Pro Christophe "chrisdm" de Meulder (Belgium) - 4,574,887

Day 2 begins

Of the two remaining Team PokerStars players, chrisdm had the roughest time. After whyme270483 doubled through him, he ended up pushing all-in with [Kc][Jh] on the button. Traderzz called from the big blind with [Ah][7s], and the board came [7h][5s][4h][Ad][Kh] to give Traderzz two pair. Team Pro Christophe "chrisdm" de Meulder left in 64th place with $2,323.44.

After one hour and 15 minutes of play on Day 2, the field had been reduced to only 50 players. Marius2891 had climbed to the top and beyond, surpassing the 25 million-chip mark.

But as quick as some rise in NLHE, others fall. Day 1 chip leader Chojjasd had a rough time, as players like Golaith13 and Renster12 doubled through. Finally, Chojjasd pushed nearly 3 million chips all-in with [As][9h], and Golaith13 was there in the small blind with [9s][9d]. With no ace on the [6h][Kc][5s][4c][2s] board, Chojjasd was ousted in 45th place with $3,097.92.

Former top 10 players also hit the rail, such as VolkovDenis in 34th place, shyme270483 in 27th, and 22illuminati in 25th. Further down the line, Golaith13 exited in 22nd and marius2891 in 16th.

FrandsenDK doubled through ElkY with 14 players remaining, and ElkY was all-in with the ante on the next hand. MrWeesy raised, and EdikLem reraised, but MrWeesy responded by moving all-in. EdikLem folded and showed [Qd][Qc], which was up against the [Ac][7d] of ElkY. The board came [3s][8d][Js][8s][8c], and MrWeesy made the full house. Team Pro Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier left in 14th place with $6,417.12.

The 11th place elimination of RJules12 led to hand-for-hand action, which went on until short-stacked nobre13 finally made a push with [Kd][Jh]. Original raiser luznypapa called with [As][6s] and caught the first card on the [6c][7d][9s] flop. The [7c] and [9h] made two pair on the board, and luznypapa's ace kicker played for the win. Nobre13 exited in tenth place with $8,298.00.

Fiskin1 fishing for more titles

The final table was set in Level 51, with blinds of 600,000/1,200,000 and a 150,000 ante. Players' initial chip counts were as follows:

Seat 1: jonath3501 (21,950,347 in chips)
Seat 2: flowstone80 (51,959,415 in chips)
Seat 3: FrandsenDK (52,408,130 in chips)
Seat 4: luznypapa (41,934,224 in chips)
Seat 5: slavOuchka (33,756,155 in chips)
Seat 6: john_tri80 (52,072,424 in chips)
Seat 7: T_Dot_D (21,160,084 in chips)
Seat 8: MrWeesy (10,388,332 in chips)
Seat 9: Fiskin1 (46,290,889 in chips)

Three players were near the chip lead as the final table began, each of them over 50 million chips. Meanwhile, Fiskin1 wasn't far behind. But at the same time, Fiskin1 was at the final table of Event 39-H and already in the SCOOP books with a win earlier in the series in Event 18-M.

John_tri80 took a pot worth 36.6 million chips from T_Dot_D to climb above the 60 million mark and into the lead, though flowstone80 kept up and hit that same mark soon after. But when john_tri80 then took a 35.6 million-chip pot from slavOuchka, the former crossed the 80 million chip mark.

On the other end of the leaderboard, MrWeesy worked the short stack for awhile, even doubling through flowstone80 to stay in action. But MrWeesy moved all-in again soon after. The hand started with a small blind raise from T_Dot_D and all-in reraise from MrWeesy in the big blind. T_Dot_D called with [Jd][Jh], and MrWeesy saw that he needed help with [Ad][3s]. But there was nothing on the [Ts][7c][2c][5s][5h] board to provide that assistance. After a 13th place finish in 2012 SCOOP Event 29-L , MrWeesy ended this run in ninth place, which was worth $13,276.80.

Can anyone stop john_tri80?

The chip leader kept climbing. When slavOuchka risked nearly 39 million chips from the small blind, john_tri80 called from the big blind with [Ad][Kh], which beat the [Ts][9h] preflop. The board of [4h][8h][5s][4c][Qh] changed nothing, and the ace kicker with the pair of fours won the pot for john_tri80. SlavOuchka departed in eighth place with $19,915.20.

And when jonath3501 pushed all-in with [Ac][Tc] from the button, original raiser john_tri80 called with [Jc][Jd]. The flop of [Kc][Qs][5d] gave jonath3501 hopes of a straight, but neither the [5h] nor the [9s] made that happen. Jonath3501 left in seventh place with $31,089.84.

T_Dot_D in strong second place run

Luznypapa risked it all with [Qd][Qh] from the button, and though john_tri80 folded the small blind, T_Dot_D called from the big blind with [Kh][9h]. Not only did the flop bring [8d][4d][Ks] for top pair, but the [Kd] on the turn made trip kings for T_Dot_D. And even that was made into a full house when the [9s] came on the river. Luznypapa had no choice but to accept sixth place and the $44,256.00 that went with it.

Double? No trouble

Fiskin1 was in trouble on a rather short stack but mounted a comeback with a double through flowstone80, as seen here:

And a bit later, another double-up, that time through T_Dot_D with pocket aces, put Fiskin1 into second place of the remaining players.

FrandsenDK takes over briefly

Flowstone80 was unable to gain ground after the Fiskin1 double-through, so upon looking down at [Ac][7c], the decision to move all-in was made. FrandsenDK was along for the ride holding [9c][9s], and that pocket pair held up to the [6h][7s][Qc][2h][5s] board. Flowstone80 was eliminated in fifth place with $66,384.00.

Fiskin1 to first

As action sped up and blinds increased, another player was at risk shortly after. It started with a T_Dot_D raise and Fiskin1 reraise. T_Dot_D responded by moving all-in with [Ah][9c], but Fiskin1 snap-called with [As][Ad]. The board of [6d][3h][Kd][2s][Kc] contained no nines or help for T_Dot_D, who left in fourth place with $88,512.00.

Keep playing; nothing to see here

The three remaining players paused the action to look at some payout options, but after seeing chip-chop and ICM numbers, players couldn't agree on much of anything. That realization quickly led to the tournament restart, and they played on for the prize money as set.

Solid series for Fiskin1

FrandsenDK took a chance and won, doubling through Fiskin1 here:

That left Fiskin1 ready to move, which happened a few hands later when Fiskin1 saw [5c][5h]. But john_tri80 had [7s][7h], and that only improved to a set of sevens on the [7c][Ac][Jh] flop. The [9d] turn and [2s] river changed nothing. Fiskin1, who won Event 18-M earlier in this series and was in the final four in Event 39-H, was ousted in third place with $110,640.00.

Heads-up deal and grand finale

The final two players started with these counts:

Seat 3: FrandsenDK (146,451,678 in chips)
Seat 6: john_tri80 (185,468,322 in chips)

The paused the tournament to attempt deal talks, but failure to come to any agreement prompted them to play on. But within moments, they wanted to speak about the deal again. And they made a deal! These were the final payout numbers, with the exception of $20,000 that was set aside to be added to the winner's money:

Seat 3: FrandsenDK (148,326,678 in chips) = $187,000.00
Seat 6: john_tri80 (183,593,322 in chips) = $178,725.75

John_tri80 continued to chip up and climbed over the 200 million mark. FrandsenDK suffered but did manage this double-up to gain some ground:

Four hands later, the two tangled again. It started with a cheap flop of [Ad][7s][Js]. FrandsenDK bet, and john_tri80 check-called. The [2s] on the turn prompted the same action, and the [3h] river card brought a bet from john_tri80. FranksenDK raised all-in with [5d][3d] for the rivered pair of threes, but john_tri80 called with [Jd][8c] for the pair of jacks. FrandsenDK took second place in the tournament and $187,000.00.

John_tri80 became the 40-L SCOOP Main Event champion of 2012. In addition to $198,725.75 in cash, john_tri80 won the champion's Movado watch. Congratulations!

It's almost over.

The 40 event spring madness known as the Spring Championship of Online Poker is nearing its end.

We've seen some crazy things happen. Shaun Deeb dominated the series and, despite all the legal setbacks in the online poker world, the 2012 SCOOP turned out to be the largest SCOOP in PokerStars history.

But today, skllzdatklls made a little bit of personal history.

skllzdatklls bested a field of 5,227 -- including dozens of Team PokerStars Pro and Online players -- to win Event #39-M.

This is skllzdatkills first SCOOP victory and biggest online cash. Aside from the fancy watch, today's victor walked away with $159,425.

The 2-day event restarted at 11am ET today and play didn't stop until skllzdatklls made the final kill at 4:53pm ET.

But, before we could get that far, players were responsible for bringing us down to our final six players.

SHARED RESPONSIBILITY

The final two tables shared the burden of bringing the tournament down to the final table. Each tables was responsible for three eliminations.

At one table, sklzdatkills, MiniiPop and ImDaNuts each added an elimination to their Event #39-M resume.

The other table only had two axe men, but only one would make the final table.

Thielon123 took care of the first elimination while SmokerGri knocked out our 8th place finisher.

Both of these players would then be involved in the final table bubble elimination.

With three players left at the table, Thielon123 raised to 200,000 from the button. oncommand passed in the small blind and SmokerGri made it 1MM.

Thielon123 moved all in for 2,534,032 and and SmokerGri called. SmokerGri showed [As][jh] and was going to need some improvement to beat Thielon123's [qd][qs].

The [8h][ad][kh][3d][6c] board brought the help SmokerGri needed and Thielon123 was eliminated in 7th place.

THE FINAL TABLE

Final table chip counts:

Seat 1: SmokerGri -- 11,402,471
Seat 2: BigMeech99 -- 3,979,793
Seat 3: skillzdatklls -- 11,860,484
Seat 4: oncommand -- 12,972,887
Seat 5: ImDaNuts -- 4,499,226
Seat 6: MiniiPop -- 7,542,639

oncommand's final table chip lead lead grew even more after bluffing SmokerGri out of a multi-million chip pot:

The roomy final table then got a bit roomier.

With 60K/120K blinds and a 15K ante, ImDaNuts raised to 240,000 from UTG. BigMeech99 re-raised to 513,875 from the button and ImDaNuts 4-bet to 916,340.

Action was back on BigMeech99 who moved all in for 4,072,293. ImDaNuts had BigMeech99 covered, but only by about one big blind.

ImDaNuts called and showed [jh][js] while BigMeech99 electronically turned over [ah][qc].

The flop came [7c][4h][4c] and BigMeech99's hopes of a straight were gone. The [2d] on the turn eliminated any chance of a flush and a [6c] came on the river, robbing BigMeech99 of every chip he accumulated over the last two days.

BigMeech99 became our first final table elimination and earned $16,726.40 for finishing in 6th place.

EVENING THINGS OUT

With 70K/140K blinds and a 17.5K ante, oncommand raised to 329,000. MiniiPop re-raised with every chip he had, all 5,846,640.

SmokerGri, in the big blind, was the only player that hadn't acted in the hand. SmokerGri also had the shortest stack.

The short stack called and oncommand got out of the way.

MiniiPop: [as][kh]
SmokerGri: [ah][qd]

This wasn't an ideal showdown for SmokerGri and the [3h][10h][9s] flop didn't change much. But the turn was a [qs] and things turned around for SmokerGri.

Only a king or a jack could end SmokerGri's tournament life, but the river was a [9h] and SmokerGri doubled up to just over 8MM.

The hand left MiniiPop and the hamster in his avatar in bad shape. With only about 1.8MM left, the hamster was going to have to make some moves.

Four hands later, oncommand raised to 490,000 and and MiniiPop moved all in for 1,786,263.

oncommand called with [10s][jd] while MiniiPop showed [ac][4c].

The [as][kd][4s] flop fell heavily in MiniiPop's favor, but it also gave oncommand a straight draw.

But instead of a queen, a [7h] would come on the turn and a [2s] would fall on the river. MiniiPop and the hamster doubled up and now had 3.7MM to play with.

SMOKED OUT

The next elimination would be a wild one.

It involved every ace on the board, three players, two tens, one elimination and one almost-double up:

MiniiPop kind-of-almost doubled up to 8,009,349 while oncommand took a massive lead with 22,395,190.

This made SmokerGri our 5th place finisher, a finish worth $31,362.00.

USING SKILLS TO GET SOME KILLS

With four players left, skllzdatklls managed to chip up to 10MM and was about to go on a rampage.

With 100K/200K blinds and a 25K ante, oncommand raised to 600,000 and skllzdatklls called, bringing a [9h][3s][8s] flop.

Action was checked to oncommand who led out for 672,000, skllzdatklls called.

The turn was a [jh] and skllzdatklls check-called command's 1,317,120 bet.

The river was a [kd] and skllzdatklls checked again. oncommand bet 2MM and skllzdatklls moved all in for 8,200,391.

oncommand folded and skllzdatklls won the 9MM pot, bringing his stack up to 15.5MM.

With big stacks comes big responsibility. Usually, that responsibility means eliminating everyone in sight.

That's exactly what skllzdatklls did.

oncommand raised to 500,000 and ImDaNuts called. skllzdatklls 3-bet to 1,696,969 from the big blind and oncommand folded.

Action was back on ImDaNuts who moved all in for 8,293,330. skllzdatklls called and showed a pair of 10s.

ImDaNuts showed one overcard and one undercard, [9c][jc].

The [as][4s][7s] flop ruined ImDaNuts's chances of a straight and a flush. The turn was a [4h] and a [5s] came on the river, ruining any chance of a SCOOP victory for ImDaNuts.

ImDaNuts was eliminated in 4th place, his second final table finish this SCOOP.

Just last week, ImDaNuts finished 2nd in Event #21-H ($2,100 NLHE) for $247,260. But that isn't close to ImDaNuts's biggest poker cash.

ImDaNuts goes by the live name of "Chris Oliver." Under that name, Oliver managed to finish 2nd in the 2011 PokerStars PCA Main Event.

That finish won the 23-year-old $1,800,000.

Today, ImDaNuts would walk away with $52,949.51, increasing his total winnings by a bit more than the US national average wage.

A few hands later, skllzdatklls would pop the heads-up bubble.

The bloodlust was insatiable.

The skllz needed klls.

skllzdatklls raised to 400,000 and MiniiPop moved all in for 3,994,929.

Action was back on skllzdatklls who called with [qh][qs] while MiniiPop showed [ah][8h] for his tournament life.

The board ran [6c][4d][3d][10d][jh] and MiniiPop's Event #39-M run was over.

MiniiPop's 3rd place finish was good the 3rd place prize, $83,632.

THE BATTLE BEGINS

With MiniiPop gone, the SCOOP watch's new home was narrowed down to two wrists. (Or four, if oncommand and skllzdatklls liked to switch watch hands for fun or shock value.)

skllzdatklls: 31,150,890
oncommand: 21,119,110

skllzdatklls was still on the gas when the heads-up match started. skllzdatklls took a few opening bites out of oncommand before taking out a big a chunk.

With 125K/250K blinds and a 31,250 ante, skllzdatklls raised to 500,000. oncommand re-raised to 1.5MM and skllzdatklls made it 2,999,999.

oncommand went into the tank and finally emerged with a re-raise to 5.5MM. skllzdatklls quickly responded by moving all in for 34,705,268.

oncommand folded and skllzdatklls won the 11MM pot, increasing the lead to 40MM. This left oncommand with 12MM.

skllzdatklls then brought oncommand down even further:

STRAIGHT TO THE TOP

oncommand then then took command of the situation.

oncommand moved all in for 4.3MM and skllzdatklls called.

skllzdatklls called: [ah][7s]
oncommand: [as][3d]

skllzdatklls had oncommand dominated and the flop came [5c][9d][6c], giving skllzdatklls a straight draw.

But the turn was a [4d] and oncommand got a straight draw too.

The [2d] came on the river, and oncommand got the straight, a double up and 8.7MM chips.

Despite the double up, oncommand was still severely shortstacked. A few hands later, oncommand raised to 600,000 and skllzdatklls called.

skllzdatklls checked the [7c][js][3h] flop and oncommand bet 600,000. skllzdatklls raised to 1,567,890 and oncommand moved all in for 6,965,574.

skllzdatklls called and showed [qs][jh] for top pair. oncommand turned over [ad][5s] for, well, not much.

The turn was a [6c] and, suddenly, there was hope for oncommand. Then, a [4s] came on the river to give oncommand another straight and another double up.

This time, on command's stack grew to 15MM.

Then, skllzdatklls lost the lead.

skllzdatklls raised to 600,000 and oncommand re-raised to 1,950,000. skllzdatklls called and the flop came [2d][3s][jc].

oncommand bet 1,800,000 and skllzdatklls called, bringing a [10s] on the turn. oncommand led out again, this time for 4,050,000, skllzdatklls called.

A [5d] came on the river and oncommand moved all in for 13,508,437.

skllzdatklls folded and lost the lead to oncommand. skllzdatklls was left with 23MM while oncommand was up to 29MM.

Then, oncommand took a commanding lead with another bluff, just like at the beginning of the final table:

THE FINAL KILL

It was now skllzdatklls's tournament life at risk.

With 200K/400K blinds and a 50K ante, oncommand raised to 800,000. skllzdatklls called and the flop came [qh][5d][7h].

Action was checked to oncommand, who bet 400,000. skllzdatklls raised to 1,333,337 and oncommand called, bringing a [10c] on the turn.

Both players checked and a [9c] came on the river. skllzdatklls opened for 3,456,789 and oncommand moved all in.

skllzdatklls thought for a while before calling and showing [9d][10d]. The two pair was better than oncommand's [ah][5c] and skllzdatklls doubled up to 22,665,142.

skllzdatklls then snatched the lead back away from oncommand:

Now back in the lead, skllzdatklls was ready to do damage.

With 250K/500K blinds and a 62.5K ante, oncommand raised to 1MM. skllzdatklls re-raised to 2,898,989 and oncommand called.

skllzdatklls bet 2,696,969 on the [jh][5c][ah] flop and oncommand called.

The turn was a [7c] and skllzdatklls bet 3,789,789. oncommand called and a [3d] came on the river.

skllzdatklls made one final bet, an all in bet worth 21,363,062. oncommand folded and was left with 12MM while skllzdatklls' stack grew to 40MM.

skllzdatklls would then go in for the final kill.

skllzdatklls raised to 1MM and oncommand called. oncommand checked the [8d][7d][2c] flop and skllzdatklls bet 999,999. oncommand moved all in for 10,947,944 and skllzdatklls made the final call.

The players showed the final hands of the tournament:

oncommand: [10c][8c]
skllzdatklls: [kc][kd]

The turn was a [6d] and the [kh] came on the river, giving skllzdatklls a set of kings and the SCOOP championship.

oncommand became the runner-up finisher and won $114,994 for taking 2nd place.
