Calvin Anderson Closing in on Shaun Deeb's Record
Last year Shaun Deeb rocketed to the all-time SCOOP win lead, winning four events and bringing his total title count to five, but Calvin "cal42688" Anderson is steadily catching up.
Anderson defeated a field of 639 last night to win over $23,000 and his fourth SCOOP watch.
Anderson has earned over $4.5 million playing online tournaments, and had to defeat a tough heads-up opponent in Nick Abou Risk to close out his most recent victory.
Abou Risk, a poker pro from Dublin who plays as tanglewizard on Full Tilt Poker, took down almost $18k for the runner-up finish.
Also cashing in this event were Australian James “Andy McLEOD” Obst (14th), Chad “lilholdem954” Batista (18th) and Sorel “zangbezan24” Mizzi (20th).
