Shawn Buchanan won his second SCOOP event in a week

Sunday was a good day to be a pro in the PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker, or SCOOP. Pros ruled the roost on the final day of the weekend, with several familiar faces winning events.

Shawn ‘buck21’ Buchanan, fresh off winning his fourth career SCOOP title last week in the high-stakes version of Event #14, won one for the thumb on Sunday in Event #24, a $2,100 No Limit Hold’em Eight-Max, after a heads-up chop with Rocco ‘Sephirot88’ Palumbo.

Buchanan was second in chips when the final table started and faced a group of seven opponents that included Palumbo, Viktor ‘Isildur1’ Blom, and Dylan ‘ImaLucSac’ Lynde. After a swingy heads-up session, Palumbo and Buchanan ultimately struck a deal that gave the former $262,000 and Buchanan $260,125, leaving $10,000 in cash and a SCOOP title to play for.

Down the stretch, Buchanan won 11 out of 13 hands. More importantly, he raked the decisive final pot in which his AdTd outlasted Palumbo’s Ac2d. He succinctly Tweeted when the tournament was over, “BINK #scoopheater.” Buchanan now has five career SCOOP wins.

Dan ‘Danny98765’ Smith also found gold on Sunday. The high-stakes poker pro took down a $2,100 Zoom Mixed PLO Six-Max and now has two-thirds of a Triple COOP title, needing only a WCOOP win to fill it out.

Smith, who also won the Sunday Million four years ago, blasted through a field of 179 players and outwitted a final table that include heavyweights like Shaun ‘shaundeeb’ Deeb and Brazil’s Felipe ‘mojave’ Ramos. His reward was $85,000, which pushed his career online tournament winnings past $2.8 million.

In the high-stakes version of Event #21, a $700 Pot Limit Five-Card Omaha Six-Max Cubed event, Calvin ‘cal42688’ Anderson, who was ranked #1 in the world on PocketFives as recently as 2013, narrowly missed out on extending his own record of six SCOOP wins. His pursuit of #7 came up just short, as he finished in third place for $26,000.

Switzerland’s ‘Kamchatka 1‘ ultimately won the Cubed event, although his heads-up opponent, ‘danfiu‘, was the one who sent Anderson to the rail. Anderson has eight career COOP wins, tied with Shaun Deeb for the most ever.

Longtime PocketFiver ‘l33t_hax0r‘, who plays as ‘goleafsgo41‘ on PokerStars, won a $215 Pot Limit Mixed Omaha event for $29,000. He’s up to almost $2.5 million in career online tournament winnings and earned his first career SCOOP title. The entire tournament, which was played in a Turbo Zoom format, lasted only four-and-a-half hours.
