Severin Rasset, director of poker innovation and operations at the stars group said the following:
“SCOOP is one of our legendary tournament series so we’re incredibly proud to offer a really exciting schedule of events to our Southern European players, including Portugal for the first time. We’ve worked hard on our schedule and believe it truly has something for everyone. The variety of buy-ins and satellites is intended to give players of all levels an opportunity to turn a small investment into a life-changing prize, all while enjoying playing alongside some of the best in the field.”
Italy will host its own SCOOP series, but the prize pool will be less (€ 5,000,000). Both poker festivals will start simultaneously, but the Italian series will end on April 8th.
