The champion tweeted, “Got my 3rd ever SCOOP win today”. Day 23 of SCOOP crowned 12 winners in total.

After intense hours of grinding, Halleart took home $47,867 for his victory despite not collecting the biggest share of the prize pool as ‘Glash0’ held the chip lead. In the end, ‘nefrsondaca’ settled in the second place for 43K and ‘Glash0’ in the third position for $50K.
