SCOOP 2016: Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi Wins $10K Main Event for $1.468M
Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi has won the high-version of the 2016 Spring Championship of Online Poker Main Event (Event #54-H $10,000 NL).
Shakerchi started the final table with a good chip lead and outlasted players like John "LuckBox" Juanda and Scott "gunning4you" Seiver before finally defeating Sean "Nolez7" Winter heads-up.
The English hedge fund tycoon started his heads-up against Winter with a 2-1 edge and it only took four hands to finish when both players rivered a flush, but Shakerchi had the nuts to claim the pot and the title.
Shakerchi earned a whopping $1,468,000.88 for his Main Event win and it was already his 3rd career SCOOP title. The final nine players made no deals at the final table.
Elsewhere, Andres 'Educa-p0ker' Artinano took down the medium-version of the Main Event (Event #54-M $1,000 NL) for $578,621.27 and "mmleandro" from Brazil won the low-version of the Main Event (Event #54-L $100 NL) for $196,058.77.
