SCOOP: Hallaert, Mateos, Wasserson Win Titles Despite Outage Issue

The PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker is one of the highlights of the online poker calendar year. A widespread outage on Monday however put a damper on the festivities as a number of events were cancelled as players were unable to connect to PokerStars. Before all of that though, Kenny ‘SpaceyFCB’ Hallaert, Adrian ‘Amadi_017’ Mateos and Eric ”thechips55′ Wasserson each managed to get into the winner’s circle.
Hallaert beat out 788 other players to win SCOOP Event #29 High ($1,050 Eight Max NLHE) and $147,937.50. It was the first SCOOP win of his career and the second from a 2016 November Niner this year. Jerry ‘hummylun’ Wong won Event #14 High ($2,100 Razz) earlier this week. Arne ‘juarnes’ Coulier finished second for $106,515. Former #1-ranked Patrick ‘pads1161’ Leonard, who also recently won a SCOOP title, finished fourth for $59,175.
‘Hiran bass’ won the Medium version of the event for $57,233.94 while ‘Fralanganas’ took home $13,517.36 after topping the 9,318-player field in the Low version.
Mateos added a SCOOP title to his list of impressive accomplishments by taking down Event #30 High ($2,100 Six Max No Limit Hold’em) for $234,030.07 after coming to a heads-up deal with Luuk ‘pokerkluka’ Gieles.
‘Naza114’ walked away with $118,890.42 for winning the Medium version of the event while ‘Jociasiee’ beat out 10,572 players to win the Low.
The final two players in Event #31 High ($2,100 No Limit Hold’em) got together after outlasting 874 others to chop up a little over $543,000. ‘FaNjkEEE’ ended up with $284,918.82 after eventually beating ‘Nolet20‘. The runner-up had to settle for $258,201.18. The final three players in the Medium version also chopped up the winnings. Korpieworm took home $173,243.90 after finishing first, ‘D1ngD0ng11’ got $163,024.88 as runner-up while ‘Gaoyu123’ earned $142,315.48 for a third place finish. ‘Ekonom82’ won the Low version outright for $39,100.55.
Wasserson won Event #32 High ($1,050 Six Max Pot Limit Omaha Progressive KO) for $36,393.40, plus another $14,190.41 in bounties, after chopping heads-up with ‘Badger’. The Medium version went to ‘Kinpez’ for $15,814.73, plus $5,488.34 in bounties.
The Low version was one of ten events cancelled due to a server outage. PokerStars has indicated that Events #32, #33 and #34 will be replayed next week.
