We're the fifth of 12 days of SCOOP 2016. Here's the most recent update with 37 of 165 tournaments (from 55 three-tiered events) now completed. 

* Shawn "buck21" Buchanan claims a fourth SCOOP title* Otitov of Russia wins big within the Super Tuesday* Beeethoven87's SCOOP masterpiece

Buchanan took his fourth title in SCOOP 14-H, an Omaha H/L contest with 158 players. Buchanan secured the win after a one handed heads-up scrap against Us Alex of Russia. Top prize was worth greater than $82,000 to Buchanan. Will O'Connor was to be had with the report at the final table, that you may read here. 

The biggest win of the day was easily that of Otitov who won SCOOP 10-H, often referred to as the Super Tuesday Special Edition. With a field of greater than 1,500 first prize was worth greater than $235,000 to the Russia, after a two way handle second placed Sinoire of Slovenia who took $214,571. Read Pauly McGuire's report at the event here. 

Lastly, Beeethoven87's win in SCOOP 14-M was not the richest, nevertheless it was arguably probably the most convincing. As Alex Villegas reported, Beeethoven87 conducted a white wash of his opponents, eliminating every player on his strategy to the $27,000 first prize, each elimination worthy of an encore.
