Just a day after wrapping up its three PLO Main Events, PokerStars played out the NLHE Main Events at the ongoing Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP). The most prominent of the three winners was the Belarusian online pro ’Alexgirs,’ who captured the $10,300 NLHE Main Event title for $920,596, following a three-way deal with online beasts Pablo ‘pabritz’ Brito (runner-up for $764,942) and Alex ‘dynoalot’ Difelice (3rd for $722,075).

Joining ‘Alexgirs’ on the podium was João ‘HayashiJoão’ Hayashi, who came out on top of a record-breaking field of 6,475 entries in the $1,050 buy-in Main Event. Hayashi defeated Michael ‘merla888’ Gathy (runner-up for $655,853) heads-up to collect $920,067.

In the $109 NLHE Main Event, it was Latvia’s ‘auercan,’ who championed the massive 46,238-entry field to win $371,751 after striking a three-way deal with ’UruRey’ (runner-up for $323,656) and ’penguy2’ (3rd for $270,144).

There are a host of other side events running daily as well.

The featured tourney at the series, the $10,300 buy-in Main Event saw the Belarus-based ’Alexgirs’ running past a star-studded final table to win $920,596.

The event generated a $6,090,000 prize pool on the back of a 609 entry field.

‘Alexgirs’ claimed one of the most coveted titles in online poker after cutting a three-way deal with Pablo ‘pabritz’ Brito (runner-up for $764,942) and Alex ‘dynoalot’ Difelice (3rd for $722,075).

It is hardly surprising that all three finalists are well-known masters of the game. ‘Alexgirs’ holds the distinction of winning the High Rollers 37: $10,300 NLHE [8-Max] in April for $215,927. Brito has won the $10,300 MILLIONS South America Main Event for $1 Million and has an Irish Open online title under his belt. Difelice also has two past WCOOP titles to his credit and boasts of over $5.2 Million in online cashes!

A slew of heavyweights were present on the final table, and the first to fall was Finnish high stakes pro ‘EEE27’ who had started out as the shortest stack. Raise Your Edge founder Benjamin ‘bencb789’ Rolle finished eighth.

WSOP bracelet winner Max ‘goodeh99’ Silver and Spain’s poker phenom Michael ‘imluckbox’ Addamo were the next one`s out in seventh and sixth place.

Daniel ‘Oxota’ Dvoress exited in fifth place with the 2019 WCOOP Main Event finalist Pieter ‘XMorphineX’ Aerts missed out on partaking in the deal after his fourth-place exit.

Shortly after the deal was made, the chip leader ‘Alexgirs’ became short-stacked but bounced back almost immediately with three double-ups in quick succession.

‘Difelice’ exited in third place. In the end, it was ‘Alexgirs,’ who took down the title after eliminating ‘Brito’ in the heads-up.
