Poker Stars' SCOOP Series Will Feature $25K Buy-in Event

For as little as five bucks and for as much as 25 grand, you can buy into the event of your choice at the first-ever Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP).

PokerStars announced the schedule for its new series this week, which contains 22 events at three different levels of buy-ins so that all players, no matter the size of their bankroll (well, assuming it has at least $5.50 in it), can participate in the championship series.

The 2009 SCOOP will kick off with a no-limit hold’em rebuy event on April 2 at 2:30 p.m. EST for $5.50, $55, and $530 and conclude with its two-day main event on April 12-13 at 4:30 p.m. EST for $109, $1,050, and $10,300.

The series has a number of noteworthy tournaments, including a no-limit heads-up tournament for a buy-in price tag of $25,500 for the most expensive level on April 12. While that might be too rich for some people’s blood, some smaller-stakes players will get a rare chance to participate in a two-day tournament for as little as $33 on April 5.

The series will feature events in hold’em, Omaha, Omaha (eight-or-better), five-card draw, H.O.R.S.E., triple-draw deuce-to-seven, mixed hold’em, seven-card stud, seven-card stud (eight-or-better), razz, and eight-game mixed.

Including second chance events and one rebuy/one add-on events, there will be four rebuy events.
