Had it not been for the Michael Phelps like-performance of Connor ‘blanconegro’ Drinan during the PokerStars Spring Championships of Online Poker (SCOOP) (his swimming and not his poker performances), Michael ‘SirWatts’ Watson would have blipped on more radar screens.
He’s blipping today.
The Canadian High Roller took down the third win of the series, and all three have been in different disciplines, demonstrating the incredible quality and diversity of this genius.
Watson vanquished 148-entrants in Event #113: $1,050 6+ Hold’em to claim the $29,997.02 first prize after beating ‘GODofHU’ in heads-up action. He adds the 6+ Hold’em title to Event #51: $1,0500 No Limit 2-7 Single Draw, and Event #66: $2,100 No Limit Hold’em. Watson has now won six career SCOOP titles.
Michael ‘iambest2’ Eibinger also secured a victory before we all settled down to watch the mayhem on CNN this past weekend. The Austrian star defeated 96-entrants in Event #105: $5,200 No Limit Hold’em Midweek Freeze Six Max. The win earned Eibinger $111,703.80 game points, and he will need them with the Super High Roller Bowl Online (SHRBO) submerging most people’s bankrolls deeper than they usually go.
Here are the results.
