Espen Jorstad On Course for a $186K Score
Espen "Hymn2Ninkasi" Jorstad, the 2022 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event champion, is on course to become a 2024 PokerStars Spring Championship Of Online Poker (SCOOP) champion. Jorstad is way out in front at the nine-handed final table of SCOOP 016-H: $10,300 NLHE Super Tuesday High Roller.
Jorstad has twice as many chips as any of the other eight finalists, but what a talented group the chasing pack is. Estonia's "DingeBrinker is Jorstad's closest rival and the only other player with more than one million chips at their disposal.
Others hoping to prevent a Jorstad victory are Adrian "Amadi_017" Mateos, Simon "C. Darwin2" Mattsson, Juan "Malaka$tyle" Pardo, Dinesh "NastyMinder" Alt, Pedro "pvigar" Garagnani, Artem "veeea" Vezhenkov, and Niklas "Lena900" Astedt.
