BEHIND THE HEADLINES
Ole Schemion
Near miss for Moraes: The Brazilian PokerStars Ambassador Rafael “GM_VALTER” Moraes already has one SCOOP title to his name, earned in 2016, and Moraes very nearly added a second last night. He was one of the final three players in SCOOP-13-M, the $1,050 buy-in Super Tuesday, but could not quite get over the line. Moraes perished in third, for $66,373, and watched his countryman “paulinhoo00” defeated heads-up by “Perfect123” of Hungary. The win was worth $123,765, which is a fitting amount for that screen-name. There were 727 entries to that one.

Winter Series champ denies Glaser his eighth: SCOOP-14, which played to a conclusion last night, was a tasty PLO event, whose highest buy-in was $1,050. That tournament attracted 257 entries, with the likes of Dominik “Bounatirou” Nitsche and Benny “RunGodlike” Glaser going deep. Those two perished in fifth and fourth respectively, however, leaving Norway’s “locomi”, a two-time SCOOP champion, to go heads up with Ireland’s “ArtHouse2011“, best known for winning the Winter Series Main Event in 2019. This time, the decorated SCOOP-ers were left behind as ArtHouse2011 closed it out, getting on the SCOOP winner’s list for the first time. They won $49,659 and added the Irish flag to the board for SCOOP 2022 too.
Taylor tells all: We’ll be hoping to catch up with a few SCOOP champions this year and find out exactly how they won. We kick off we a cracker, as Jack Stanton talked to Guy “temp0r2k” Taylor, who battled through some severe inconvenience to win SCOOP-07-M. “I played the first three hours of it on my iPad stuck on the train in the middle of nowhere,” Taylor says.

TWEET OF THE DAY
Tobias “Senkel92” Leknes responded to our report on Day 3 action requesting a second leader board — for second-place SCOOP finishes. Leknes has three titles, but seems like he is more often the bridesmaid. (He finished second twice on Tuesday night.)
We need a counter for those second places as well, approaching 10 quickly
