PokerStars SCOOP Schedule Released

Spring is in the air and as is tradition with most online poker rooms the Spring tournaments seasons start to pop up. PokerStars, never one to be left out has released a tentative schedule for its very own 2013 Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP). This year's SCOOP is bigger than ever with a massive 42 events beating last year's number by 2 and it all begins on Sunday May 12th. Just like the 2024 series there will be 3 buy in amounts for each event meaning that players with all bankroll sizes get to be part of the action, so we are looking at a total of 126 tournaments. All manner of games will be on the schedule such as no-limit holdem, no limit draw, seven card stud, pot limit Omaha, Omaha hi-lo and badugi and tourney #1 is a big affair with a $2,100 NL Holdem although with the 3 levels of buy ins you could opt for the $27 version. The huge main event is a monster buy in of $10,300 at the high level and a more 'easy does it' $109 at the low level and that one takes place on Sunday May 26th. To give you an idea of the size of this whole series then last year the main event winner Nick "GripDsNutz" Grippo won $798,675 and that was because of a three way chop on the final table. 2011 saw Sami "Lrslzk" Kelopuro walk away with main event winnings of $505,000 and that was part of a five way deal! This is just a tentative schedule and Stars will take player feedback before giving it all the green light, but we anticipate no major changes, with a few players already stating that maybe Sundays should not be set aside for no-limit holdem games alone. Here's a look at the schedule as of now, using the low buy ins as examples, but remember that there will be 3 of each tourney on that specified day and we'll give you the exact schedule when Stars say all is good.
