Take a Second Shot at 2025 PokerStars SCOOP Main Event Glory

The three 2025 PokerStars Spring Championship Of Online Poker (SCOOP) Main Events have crowned their champions, wth that trio walking away with more than $1.1 million combined. While the SCOOP Main Event 2nd Chance events won’t pay out as much as the originals, there’s still $1.25 million combined between them.

Three SCOOP Progressive Knockout Main Event 2nd Chance events shuffle up and deal at 5:30 p.m. BST on June 1. They come with buy-ins of $55, $215, and $1,050, and guaranteed prize pools weighing in at $400,000, $1 million, and $750,000, respectively. Play one, play all three, just get involved anyway you can.

SCOOP 121-L, the more affordable $55 buy-in Main Event 2nd Chance comes with $400,000 guaranteed to be won. Entrants sit down with 25,000 chips and play to a 15-minute clock throughout two days. Day 1 ends 7 hour 55 minutes after the first cards are pitched, with five re-entries permitted during the first 3 hours 35 minutes.

Satellites from only $2.20 feed into this event. However, the best value satellite is a $5.50 buy-in at 4:05 p.m. BST on June 1. Why is the best value? Because PokerStars has slapped a 50x $55 seat guarantee on it!

The $215 buy-in edition boasts a $1 million guaranteed prize pool. Enter this and you’ll receive 50,000 chips and play to 15-minute blinds throughout. Upt o four re-entries are permitted during the first 3 hours 45 minutes, which is when late registration ends. Like the $55 edition, Day 1 ends 7 hours and 55 minutes after the tournament starts.

Dozens of satellites run around the clock for this event, but our favorite starts at 4:15 p.m. BST on June 1. It is a $22 buy-in affair with a cool 100x $215 seats guaranteed!

Last but certainly not least is the $1,050 buy-in, $750,000 guaranteed PKO Main Event 2nd Chance. Eliminating an opponent will be worth at least $250, meaning you could be freerolling if you bust just four foes. A 20-minute clock is in play throughout, with Day 1 ending once the money places are reached. Those with several $1,050 tickets, deep pockets, or a combination of the two can re-enter up to three times during the first 5 hours and 5 minutes.

You’d be wrong if you thought this $1,050 event was reserved only for well-heeled players. What if we told you that at least 25 PokerStars players will win a $1,050 seat for $109 in the satellite starting at 5:15 p.m. on June 1? More affordable satellites feed into that $109, so there could be some crazy ROIs to shout about come Tuesday morning!
