He is one of the greatest mixed games players in the world.

That’s his second title of this festival and to win it he beat a final table that included Noah “Exclusive” Boeken, Mike “goleafsgoeh” Leah and Konstantin “krakukra” Maslak.

Benny Glaser: Another SCOOP title
A very familiar figure rose to the top of SCOOP 40-M last night when “Tankanza” won the Mini Super Tuesday for more than $80K. The Austria-based player last won the SCOOP High Main Event for $1.13 million, not long after winning the WCOOP version of the Super Tuesday, for $230K.
Another former WCOOP champion, “Grafftekkel”, from the Netherlands, won the High version of the event, and picked up the day’s biggest prize of $203,215, after a chop with “dartazzz” of Lithuania. “Graftekkel” previously won the three-max, but prevailed from a regular nine-max field this time.
Konstantin “krakukra” Maslak earned another handful of leader board points, even if he was denied a second SCOOP title, when he finished second in SCOOP 39-L. Read all about our leader board leader.
Rui “RuiNF” Ferreira has shaken things up at the top of the leader board by winning SCOOP 39-H, the fixed limit event. Terrence “Unassigned” Chan had to make do with fifth.
