There’s no waiting around with rising antes.
For two days, paromology fought off rising tides to become the ante up champion. In that time, a field of 11,779 players was reduced to just one.
After being one of the 35 players to survive day 1, paromology fought through ups and downs at the final table and overcame a chip deficit heads up to become the champion.
For the win, paromology earned $9,617.06 and the title of SCOOP champion.
Aside from paromology, a total of 1,530 players got a slice of the $80,332.78 prize pool.
But the real money was up top, with the final nine.
