SCOOP-53-M: $1,050 NLHE [8-Max, Progressive KO, Thursday Thrill], $1M Gtd Kicks-Off Today
The 2021 Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) will now see another juicy PKO tournament take place as SCOOP-53-M: $1,050 NLHE [8-Max, Progressive KO, Thursday Thrill], $1M Gtd is set to begin at 5:05 p.m. GMT. This is a 2-day event that sports a cool million guarantee that is sure to attract some of the best online mashers.
All runners will begin with 100,000 in chips and a "slow" structure has been set, having 20-minute blind levels throughout. The late registration period will be four and a half hours in length for all new entries, but it is a freezeout so no reentries will be available during the duration. A five-minute break will be held every hour at 55-minutes past and Day 1 will play down until the money has been reached, returning on Saturday, April 17 where an eventual winner will be crowned.
The exciting PKO format splits the buy-in up with half into the prize pool and the other half on each head of the runners. All players will have a $500 dollar bounty to start and it will only go up with every Knockout, increasing by 50% while the other half is instantly pocketed into their bankroll.
The PokerNews team will be bringing all of the live coverage of this event, so stay tuned as the action unfolds.
