On Day 9 of the 2012 Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) at PokerStars, 15 players earned SCOOP victories. Ankush "pistons87" Mandavia, winner of the WCOOP $10,000 High-Roller last September, added a SCOOP victory to his résumé. Also getting victories on Day 9 were Mayu "marroca5" Roca, Ariel "ArielBahia" Celestino, and Nicolas "niccc" Chouity. In addition, "JRADF79" made not one, not two, but three final tables.

Over the first nine days of SCOOP 2012, Shaun Deeb has recorded nine cashes, three final tables, and two wins. Unlike Blom, who won no-limit hold’em events on consecutive days, both of Deeb’s victories came in seven-card stud. His first victory came in SCOOP 10-H: $2,000 Limit Stud ($25K Guaranteed), where he bested a field of 64 entrants to take home the top prize of $41,600. Joining him at the final table were Team PokerStars Online George “Jorj95” Lind (8th, $5,120), Pat Pezzin (6th, $7,040), Team PokerStars Pro George Danzer (4th, $12,800), and James “Andy McLEOD” Obst (3rd, $19,200).

In the end, Deeb found himself heads up with ”TheMuppet”, who had a slight chip advantage. Initially, TheMuppet extended the lead, but eventually Deeb came roaring back to win his second career SCOOP watch.

Three days later, Deeb took down SCOOP 19-H $2,000 Triple Stud ($50K Guaranteed). Deeb was second in chips entering the final table, trailing only Team PokerStars Pro Eugene Katchalov, and eventually the two were three-handed with British pro Stephen “stevie444” Chidwick tagging along. Despite having Deeb out-chipped, both Chidwick and Katchalov were willing to make a deal that would’ve paid Deeb more than the value of his chip stack. Deeb turned it down however, and three hours later, he had every single chip.

Incredible performance from Shaun Deeb

With two SCOOP victories it looked like Viktor Blom would be the big story at this year's series. Despite that great success, Isildur1 has been eclipsed by Shaun Deeb though who bagged his third SCOOP win of the year overnight.

The Mexican-based pro beat a 74-runner field in the $2,100 Stud Hi/Lo – $75,000 guaranteed event to walk away with another $40,330. Not content with that, Deeb still found time to final table the $27 Low stakes one too. All told, the American has 19 cashes and seven final tables at this year's SCOOP, good enough to put him comfortably atop the High and Overall Leaderboards.


The Overall winner will receive an EPT Grand Final 2013 package, while each of the individual Leaderboard winners will get trophies and PCA 2013 packages.

Day 11 of the 2012 Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) at PokerStars spanned nearly 20 hours from start to finish, awarding nine winners. Notable players to earn victories were Paul "padjes" Berende and Dean "dean23price" Price, but the biggest name to notch a win was Shawn "buck21" Buchanan.

The heavy-hitting winners continue to roll in at the 2012 PokerStars SCOOP with renowned pros Chris “Genius28” Lee and Dan “djk123” Kelly taking home titles last night.

Lee, a prolific high-stakes online player and 10-Game champ at the 2011 WSOP, outlasted an incredibly tough, 107-player field to win Event 31-H, $2,100 8-Game.

Kelly, likewise a WSOP bracelet winner and one of the best online poker players of all time with over $5.3 million in earnings, dragged his title in Event #29-M, $109+Rebuys NLHE Big Antes.

Three-time WCOOP champ Kelly earned his first SCOOP title and $73,040 after a two-way deal while Lee took home $58,315.
Kostritsyn, ElkY and CHUFTY Make Final Four

As has been the standard so far in the 2012 SCOOP, the fields in the high buy-in, mixed game events have been small but talented and that held true today.

Among the pros knocked out early in the tournament were Martin Staszko, Chad Brown and George Lind while Eugene Katchalov and Scott Clements held on to finish in the top 10.

Team PokerStars pro Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier made another run at a SCOOP title but ultimately had to settle for third while Lee and Alexander Kostritsyn had an epic, 1.5-hour heads-up match to decide the winner.

In the end, Lee prevailed and claimed his first SCOOP title.

Final Results - 2012 SCOOP Event #31-H ($2,100 8-Game):

1. Chris "Genius28" Lee (Canada) - $58,315.00
2. Alexander "joiso" Kostritsyn (Russia) - $39,055.00
3. Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier (UK) - $29,960.00
4. Richard "CHUFTY" Ashby (UK) - $20,330.00
5. Kecinpulach (Czech Republic) - $14,980.00
6. Ig123456789 (Ukraine) - $11,235.00
Dan “djk123” Kelly – The Most Unheralded Pro of All Time?
Dan Kelly
djk123: So good.
 

When you think of poker pros with over $7.5 million in combined earnings live and online, Dan “djk123” Kelly probably isn’t the first player to come to mind.

The $7.5 million+ range is heady territory - and usually reserved for the Erik Seidels and Daniel Negreanus of the world.

But Kelly has proved time and again he belongs in the discussion of the game’s truly elite and proved it again last night as he dismantled a 1,659-player field to take the biggest share of the $491,400 prize pool.

Kelly didn't have a particularly easy path either as pros Nicolas Chouity and Ankush "pistons87" Mandavia both ran deep. Kelly and Mandavia ultimately decided on a deal to split the top two payouts fairly evenly.

Final Results - SCOOP 2012 Event #29-M $109+Rebuys NLHE (Big Antes)

( * denotes part of two-way deal )
1. Dan "djk123" Kelly (Australia) *$73,040.06
2. pistons87 (Canada) *$66,542.11

4. matt20 (United Kingdom) $32,923.80
5. kripap (Hungary) $23,341.50

Day 13 of the 2012 Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) at PokerStars was unlucky for many, but a certain few had excellent days. Ami "UhhMee" Barer made two final tables, winning a SCOOP watch in the process. Kevin "kev19" Tanner earned a victory as well. The biggest prize of the day, though, went to Faraz "The-Toilet 0" Jaka for taking down Event #33-H for $173,720.
