The 16th edition of PokerStars' Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) returns next month, running from May 5 to 29 with a staggering 128-event schedule. As always, SCOOP 2024 will feature a wide variety of poker formats across the Low, Medium, and High buy-in tiers, ensuring that there's a tournament for players of all bankroll sizes and specialities.
In total, there's $75,000,000 guaranteed across the series with at least $2,000,000 guaranteed each day until May 27. In addition to the ever-lasting glory, the champions of each event will receive a highly-coveted SCOOP trophy to mark their achievements.
The three weeks of action will culminate with the three tiers of Main Events - in both No-Limit Hold'em and Pot-Limit Omaha - on May 26.
- $109 NLHE Main Event Low with $2 million GTD
- $1,050 NLHE Main Event Med with $3.5 million GTD
- $10,300 NLHE Main Event High with $5 million GTD
- $215 PLO Main Event Low with $250k GTD
- $1,050 PLO Main Event Med with $400k GTD
- $5,200 PLO Main Event High with $500k GTD
Mystery Bounty events highlight schedule
SCOOP 2024 will be the first edition to offer Mystery Bounty Events, with twelve events spread across the three buy-in tiers guaranteeing over $7,500,000 in combined prize money.
The ever-popular tournament format sees players compete for unknown bounty prizes, awarded for eliminating players once the money bubble bursts. Mystery Bounty events will feature in every buy-in level, starting at $3.30 and going all the way up to $5,200.
Benny Glaser back on the COOP title hunt
Last fall, the United Kingdom's own Benny Glaser made history by capturing seven World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) titles, bringing his total COOP title count to a mind-boggling 25. Notably, Glaser fell short in the race for the Player of the Series honor - a loss that put a damper on an otherwise legendary run.
This spring, Glaser will no doubt look to continue his dominance on the virtual felt, but may have to keep an extra dose of attention focused on the Player of the Series leaderboard.
