After a busy weekend of action, three big name pros once again cemented their reputations and ‘scooped’ up big online titles.

Winning a Spring Championship of Online Poker event is something many players have done, yet many big names have missed out on, too. Dominik ‘Bounatirou’ Nitsche was amongst the number of players who didn’t have a SCOOP title before his victory in the $530-entry Event #87. A high roller event, the tournament featured 956 players, and had a prize-pool of $500,000. Although slightly short of the guarantee, missing it by 44 entries, PokerStars won’t be too disappointed, with the rake covering the tourney by a few thousands. 

Nitsche’s victory was worth $82,365 to the 888poker player and after the event he took to Twitch to walk through some of the plays on his DTO Poker Trainer. It’s fair to say that after such a result, Nitsche might see a spike in players signing up.

While Nitsche was winning his first SCOOP title, another player was banking his third victory in the popular online poker series, that this year has been extended to exceed the GG Poker WSOP Guaranteed prize-pool. Or, ahem, to continue to make poker fun.
