The 2016 Spring Championship of Online Poker will be the biggest in the festival's history, PokerStars.com, an Amaya Inc. brand, revealed today.
This year's SCOOP, which takes place from May 8-22, has been increased by nine events to a record 55 (nine more than last year's 46) across three stakes (Low, Med, High), making for a total of 165 tournaments. The guaranteed prize pool is more than $40 million.
Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier, who won three SCOOP events in 2015 to become Overall Player of the Series, is targeting top spot on the Leaderboard again.
"After a very successful SCOOP last year, winning three titles and the overall Player of the Series, I'm going to be fully focused on defending that title and taking down some more events," Mercier said. "There are 165 tournaments and an incredible array of games and formats – it's just a great time of year for online poker players and I can't wait for the series to start."
