PokerStars 2020 Spring Championship of Online Poker 96-M: $530 Main Event 2nd Chance Starts at 1 PM
At 1 p.m. EST, it's time for the PokerStars 2020 Spring Championship of Online Poker 96-M: $530 NLHE [8-Max, Main Event 2nd Chance] kicks off another 3-day event which comes with a guaranteed prize pool of $1,500,000. Earlier this week, Joao "HayashiJo?o" Hayashi took down the SCOOP-74-M: $1,050 NLHE [8-Max, Main Event] by defeating Michael "merla888" Gathy heads-up for $920,067 in a field of 6,475 entries which broke all the previous attendance records.
Who knows who will take this tournament down as it offers players another chance of winning big with a $530 buy-in. As this is the first time that PokerStars has organized a tournament under this moniker, this gives everyone a chance to make their mark in history by becoming the inaugural SCOOP Main Event 2nd Chance Champion. With over a week of tournaments still to come, this is one of the ones that would look good on anyone's online poker resum��.
Players will get 100,000 chips to start with and play 20-minute levels throughout all three days according to the tournament lobby. Players can reenter three times for a total of four entries during the first six hours and 5 minutes of late registration that is possible. There's a 5-minute break every hour at 55 minutes past and Day 1 will end after 8h30. Play should resume at 1:05 p.m. EST on May 25 and end when there are 16 players left. The final day will see those 16 players return at 1:05 p.m. to battle it out to a winner.
