This time last year, Russia’s Konstantin ‘krakukra’ Maslak was celebrating after winning the PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker Player of the Series award. This year, Maslak put himself in position to repeat that title after winning his second 2020 SCOOP title.

Maslak won Event #118 High ($2,100 Six Max Turbo NLHE PKO) on Sunday to earn $37,899.83 from the prize pool and collected another $35,046.87 in bounties. Slovakia’s ‘Dajvey‘ was eliminated in second place and had to settle for $37,899.65 from the prize pool and just $6,906.25 in bounties. Canadian grinder Mike ‘goleafsgoeh’ Leah finished in third-place for $24,031.12 and $20,640.63 in bounties.

Maslak now sits second on the 2020 SCOOP Player of the Series behind Rui “RuiNF” Ferreira with only six events on Sunday before 2020 SCOOP draws to a close.

The only other High event that played down to a winner on Saturday was Event #112 High ($1,050 NLHE). ‘MRiverAce‘ beat out 485 other players to win $88,882.35 and the SCOOP title. Runner-up Marty ‘TheLipoFund’ Mathis earned $65,058.60 while ‘T3G3S‘ took the bronze medal and a $47,620.50 score.
