Through the primary few days of this 2016 SCOOP schedule, two themes have perceived to play out daily. First, guaranteed prize pools haven't lasted long and secondly, Brazilians staking claim to final tables and winner's circles at a virtually alarming rate. Those trends continued into Event #9-M when the prize pool greater than doubled and play broke for the night on Day 1, a Brazilian was working a large lead.

felipebeltra needed to navigate a 1,724 player field of both NLH and PLO wizards and within the end, just 216 players were in a position to make their way into the cash to get a work of the $129,300 prize pool. The United Kingdom's BlindRazorJJ missed out at the money, because the unlucky bubble boy but once that bubble burst, it was a mad dash to the top of Level 29.

That's when Brazil's felipebeltra 'bagged' an incredible chip lead, putting just shy of 3,000,000 away for Day 2 with KingVictoras, from Greece, finishing second with 1,680,000. In total, 21 players returned for that restart but two of the largest names within the field didn't return for the event's final day. PokerStars Team Online members Jaime Staples and Lex Veldhuis were eliminated back to back, in 38th and 39th respectively. They'd each make $420.22 for his or her deep runs however the 21 players that returned for Day 2 all had their eyes at the $21,011.61 first place prize.

Top Ten Day 2 Counts

Artem "roi kin23" Litvinov made it through to Day 2 with some huge success in his past. Kitvinov is not the only player to make four major COOP final tables but there are few with four six-digits scores along the best way. But Litvinov continues to be in search of his first major title after going out wanting this final table. IAmSoSo was the one player to advance with a COOP title together with his coming last September within the $2,100 PLO 6-Max WCOOP event.

It didn't take long on Day 2 to head from a restart to simply seven remaining. The tournament was right down to the overall table when Dollysz, former Sunday Million runner-up, went out in when his aces up went right down to Luigi da BP's flopped nut flush. Dollysz was eliminated in seventh place and the remaining joined together to create the overall table.

There were three Super Tuesday victories a few of the final table players, two earned by Dhr. Awesome and one by Jonas "donut604" Mackoff, with Mackoff adding a runner-up finish in SCOOP #2-H a couple of days ago. Mackoff also holds a WSOP Circuit ring and Luigi da BP has a COOP runner-up finish of his own from WCOOP this past September.

Rockets explode for Adreny, eliminated in 5th

Slowing all of it down

b0caNer0 had all his chips within the middle once, but his pocket aces never had a sweat to present him a double. It was short-lived and he was soon in additional serious danger HALF-HOUR later.

b0caNer0 doesn't last, eliminated in 4th

Despite the double up, b0caNer0 couldn't stick around past fourth position. He hit his big hand earlier with aces then ran directly into them during a PLO component to the overall table.

The German called all-in after a three-bet from Mackoff and needed help with A♦K♦J♥4♥ against A♣A♠9♥7♠. b0caNer0 picked up some saving outs at the T♥6♥6♦ flop and added a gutshot at the Q♣ turn to offer him 15 river outs. None hit the 7♦ river and he was gone in 4th place for $7,758.

Mackoff out short again, eliminated in 3rd

Jonas "donut604" Mackoff is having a sexy solid early SCOOP start and was sitting third of 3 aiming for the development #9-M title. He tried to transport up when he moved all-in from big blind after Dhr. Awesome min-raised his button.

Dhr. Awesome went into heads up play with the lead and immediately extended his advantage. The 2 battled across 30-minutes worth of hands with Luigi da BP at the wrong side of the largest pots until his stack was under 3 million.

His table chat looked as if it would indicate he was going to be content with a runner-up finish until he found some hands to ward off. Dhr. Awesome limped from the button in a PLO hand, Luigi da BP checked his strategy to the A♣5♦3♣ flop, and Luigi da BP check/called at 200K bet.

Dhr. Awesome stages his own comeback to win Event #9-M

Luigi da BP's nearly 4-to-1 chip lead didn't stick for extraordinarily long after Dhr. Awesome vowed to prevent" spewing". The heads-up match continued for greater than 60 minutes total with the penultimate hand giving back the result in Dhr. Awesome and the overall gave him the title.

Dhr. Awesome was closing the distance when he overtook Luigi da BP in a 2.8 million chip pot won and not using a showdown. It wasn't a large lead, 9.3 to eight million, nevertheless it was enough to finish the tournament one hand later.

They were still chatting it up when the following PLO hand was dealt and the virtual chips were flying. It took four bets to get them within the middle and Luigi da BP was at risk.

Dhr. Awesome: A♦J♠T♦3♠Luigi da BP: K♣K♦Q♦J♦

Luigi da BP was holding the most productive hand, about as dominant as you will get pre-flop in PLO, before Dhr. Awesome added the easier flush draw at the 4♠4♦3♦ flop. The J♣ turn meant Luigi da BP had 12 outs to dodge but Dhr. Awesome made the nut flush at the 6♦ river to finish the tournament.

This was Luigi da BP's second COOP runner-up finish in not up to a year but he has $15,709 to sooth the loss. Dhr. Awesome already had two Super Tuesday titles to his credit but now he may also be called a SCOOP champion.
