GROWTH SPURT: PokerStars Extends SCOOP, Bumps Guarantee to $135 milion

The good news just keeps coming for PokerStars SCOOP players. Last week, the site increased the overall guarantee by $10 million and has now extended the action through May 31.

That offers players in quarantine 132 additional events. The expansion also brings the guarantee from the original $85 million to a hefty $135 million.

More PokerStars tournaments to SCOOP

The expansion comes as poker players still await the reopening of live poker. That remains in the future, however, and online operators continue to report record fields and ever-escalating guarantees.

Originally, the schedule included 240 events spread across Low, Medium, and High events. The extended SCOOP continues that system with three different buy-in level for the same game.

Notable additions to the schedule include:

  • Event 91-M – $109 NLHE [Progressive KO] with $750,000 guaranteed (May 23)
  • Event 96-L – $55 NLHE [Second Chance Main Event] with $1 million guaranteed (May 24)
  • Event 121-M – $109 NLHE [Progressive KO, Sunday Million SE] with $2.5 million guaranteed (May 31)

Players can get in on the action with satellites running daily for as little as $0.30.  The complete schedule of SCOOP tournaments additions is below.

SCOOP Main Events set for Sunday, other series promotions continue

The series was set to wrap up May 19 with three Main Events set for Sunday. Those include the $109 Low with a $3 million guarantee and $1,050 Medium and $10,300 High both guaranteeing $5 million.

PokerStars will continue with its other promotions and events throughout the remainder of the series. Some of those include:

  • $5,000 Second Chance Freerolls – These run daily and are given to any player who busts a SCOOP tournament for the first time that day.
  • Special SCOOP Spin & Go’s – These offer Main Event tickets worth $10,300 from as little as $4.
  • Sunday Storm Anniversary Promotion – The first 50,000 players who bust in the Sunday Storm anniversary receive a SCOOP Freeroll ticket. Tickets to the Medium Main Event will be up for grabs.
  • Player of the Series Leaderboard – Player leaderboards have been altered a bit this year. For the first half, there will be a leaderboard based on player participation and success with winners receiving SCOOP tickets. In the second half, cash prizes will be up for grabs. The overall Player of the Series earns a $20,000 cash prize and SCOOP Trophy.
