Two massive names grabbed more poker glory over the last few days as Connor Drinan equaled Shaun Deeb’s SCOOP record and Mike ‘Sir Watts’ Watson proved that even if he’s multi-tabling, you still can’t hope to beat him.

At poker’s highest stakes, any consistency is incredible. Not only do you have to be in incredible form, but you’re also relying on others who barely put a foot wrong to make the odd mistake and then capitalize on it before they make the correction. You’re looking for chinks in armour as dense as the tightest chainmail.

Legendary warriors in online poker don’t come much bigger than Mike ‘Sir Watts’ Watson or Connor Drinan, both of whom have been two of the bigger winners in recent years on sites such as PokerStars, where this year’s record-breaking SCOOP is being held as usual.

Mike ‘Sir Watts’ Watson took down one SCOOP and finished as runner-up in another on a spectacular day for him at the felt. In Event #65, Watson was only behind Noah Boeken in the $1,050-entry 8-Game SCOOP tournament. With 193 entries including such poker superstars as Connor Drinan, Mike Leah and Talal Shakerchi, that was impressive enough, and bagged Watson a cool $29,098 for his efforts.
