A new SCOOP record is set before the extended schedule even began in the biggest series in online poker history.
While all eyes were on the Main Event finales last night one player who was quietly earning the respect of his peers was American pro Connor Drinan.
He took down the $10,300 PLO Main Event for $322,264 and in doing so broke the record for most SCOOP titles in a single year.
He has taken down five events this year so far, all in non-hold’em disciplines.
| Event | Runners | Prize |
|---|---|---|
| SCOOP-34-H: $530 PLO8 | 378 | $34,420 |
| SCOOP-40-H: $5,200 PLO | 150 | $152,011 |
| SCOOP-45-M: $215 NLO8 | 1,052 | $14,584 |
| SCOOP-56-H: $1,050 HORSE | 139 | $30,232 |
| SCOOP-75-H: $10,300 PLO Main Event | 159 | $322,264 |
This beats the previous record held by Shaun Deeb and despite the fact that this year SCOOP has been extended, Drinan won them before the extension and in his own words he started a week late.
Not one for tweeting about poker tournament wins but feels somewhat mandatory after shipping scoop #5 of the series in the plo 10k main. Sorry @shaundeeb

It’s unfortunate for Drinan that he is unable to take this mixed game run of form into the WSOP (SCOOP has always been something of a World Series warm-up, especially for mixed game specialists) but with the series now running until (at least) the end of the month, he has plenty of time to try and extend his own record.
In case you are wondering where you heard his name before, he was previously well known for taking this incredible bad beat in a $1 million buy-in event like a champ
