A recap from the virtual rail that includes PokerStars adding a further five events to the Spring Championship of Online Poker, and win for the PocketFives #1 Niklas Åstedt, and an update from Run It Once Poker.

Remove your balaclava, drop the bank from your rifle scope, and make a brew – it’s time for the Virtual Rail.

We begin at PokerStars, and the Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) has grown by an additional 15 tournaments and $5m+ in guaranteed prize money.

The hyenas are laughing, the seals are clapping, and the fish are not sure what to think. The highlights include a $2,100 buy-in, $1m GTD No-Limit Hold ’em (NLHE) 8-Max, a $25,000 buy-in, $1.5m GTD NLHE 8-Max, and three more 6-Plus Hold ’em events.
