Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier isn't the only player winning multiple Spring Championship of Online Poker titles on PokerStars. On Tuesday, May 21, a Canadian player under the alias ‘dragonwarior' won two high buy-in events within a few hours and collected over half a million dollars!
He started off by winning Event 30-H, a Super Tuesday Special edition to collect $275,202.50. According to PokerStars Blog, the finish time for the event was 6:42 am ET. Not even four hours later, at 10:02 ET, he collected another $256,056 for being the last man standing in Event 33-H.
Just like in many other online tournaments with big prize pools, it's common with deals on SCOOP final tables. However, dragonwarior won both events without a chop, which is kind of remarkable when taking into account how much prize money was at stake on both final tables he played.
