SCOOP-75-L: $109 PLO [6-Max, PLO Main Event], $500K Gtd
Dia 1 Começado
With the 2020 PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) having been recently extended through May 31, today marks the first of three Main Event Weekends for the now month-long series. Event #75-L: $109 PLO [6-Max, Main Event] $500k Gtd is one of those Main Events, and will be getting underway at 3:30 p.m. ET.
With the guaranteed prize pool recently having been increased an extra $100,000 from the original $400,000, there is no question this event will be one of the most important tournaments in thousands of players' Sunday schedules. Players will receive 25,000 in chips to begin with blinds starting at 75/150 and increasing every 20 minutes through the duration of this three-day event.
Late registration is open for five hours and five minutes, and all players are allowed up to three re-entries (four total bullets) for this event. Day 1 will conclude when play reaches the money, with Day 2 resuming at 1:05 p.m. ET on Monday, May 18 to play until 18 players remain on the final three tables. Day 3 will then be at 1:05 p.m. ET on Tuesday, May 19, and will run until a champion has been crowned.
Pot-Limit Omaha is always full of action, and the prestige of adding one's name to the list of SCOOP champions will require the eventual winner to bring their best over three full days at the virtual felt. Some 2020 PLO SCOOP winners so far include the likes of Ole "wizowizo" Schemion and Connor "blanconegro" Drinan, and three more will begin their journeys onto the three-day-long Main Events in the coming hours.
PokerNews will be providing updates all along the road to the Main Event titles. Be sure to follow along.
