Sebastian "peace&loove" Huber Doing the Business for Team Spraggy
As SCOOP Captain Benjamin "Spraggy" Spragg watched his beloved Manchester United take an unexpected slide down the Premier League table after their tough 4-0 defeat against Crystal Palace yesterday, there's a silver lining in his poker world. His roster of poker enthusiasts have handed him 700 reasons to crack a smile.
Team Spraggy currently sits atop the Team Standings with 700 points, with fellow ambassador Sebastian "peace&loove" Huber being a driving force behind the early points haul after notching five cashes across the opening two days.
2024 SCOOP Team Standings:
- Spraggy - 700pts
- Lex - 660pts
- Tonkaaa - 590pts
- Fintan - 335pts
In SCOOP 12-L $33 NLHE, Huber's 15th place finish awarded him a payout of $1,146, while a modest $88 went into his poker purse after his 245th placement in the $44 SCOOP Bounty Builder.
Over the last 48 hours, Huber's performances have seen him accrue 135 points in the SCOOP League Table, putting him second in the overall leaderboard. He's only trailing behind online phenom Simon "C Darwin2" Mattsson (160pts), who's also another horse for Team Spraggy.
