David "deivid29" Tavor saw his tournament end in ninth place, a finish good for $7,638. "Twicyyy" and "Vadim_VGKS" joined Tovar on the sidelines before Espen "Hymn2Ninkasi" Jorstad fell in sixth and banked $21,087.

One of two Brazilians who navigated their way to the final table, Luiz "Giant_Santos" Constantino, dusted off his stack in fifth place. Constantino collected $29,582 for his efforts. Fellow South American "josechoche" of Uruguay was next out of the door before Matts "Matsull" Ullereng busted in third to leave Marty "TheLipoFund" Mathis and Diego "TheGrinderØ" Falcone heads-up.

Falcone bowed out in second place and reeled in $81,672, leaving a delighted Mathis to secure a $114,574 payday and his first SCOOP title.

Benny "RunGodlike" Glaser Takes Down $215 PLO PKO Event For $29,547]

Benny "RunGodlike" Glaser won his sixth SCOOP title of his glistening career on Day 15 of the 2021 SCOOP. Glaser came out on top of a 1,085-strong field in the $215 PLO 6-Max Progressive Knockout event.

Glaser, a three-time WSOP bracelet winner, came away with a combined prize worth $29,547, $14,729 of that sum stemming from the bounties he collected on his way to yet another victory. A significant chunk of that bounty payment came from eliminating "HugoBozz888" of the Netherlands when the tournament was heads-up. Glaser won the Dutch grinder's bounty plus the payment on his own head.

We have to give a shout-out to seventh-place finisher "MPLBRUTUS" of Belgium who burst the final table bubble. The Belgian's bounty payment weighed in at $5,656. Only Glaser and runner-up HugoBozz888 ($6,325) managed to secure more money from the bounty prize pool, going to show how profitable PKO tournaments can be for aggressive players.
