In the high SCOOP Main Event, a $10,300 buy-in tournament, an unknown player using the screen name "kZhh" ruled the field for $878,871 via a three-way chop against Dan "Dannyz0r" Borlan, who actually received a slightly higher amount ($894,551), and 3rd place Kayhan "KayhanMok" Roshanfekr ($791,074).

When the players agreed to the chop, Borlan, a Romanian player, held the chip lead. Thus, he earned a slightly higher payout after they played down to a winner. The player known as "kZhh," despite receiving less in the chop, is credited with the SCOOP title.

A player from the Netherlands using the screen name "Beowulf3182" finished in 4th place, good for $443,934. David "MissOracle" Yan, from New Zealand, took 5th place and earned a $325,098 payday. In 6th place was German poker star Christian Rudolph, who has had quite an impressive month of online poker. Rudolph took home $325,098 for his efforts.
