It's no secret that Pot Limit Omaha is an action game and while you combine that action with $11 rebuys, you're definitely going to peer an immense field come together and the chips fly. Virtually of course, as 2,442 entrants came out for Event #11-L: $11+R PL Omaha [6-Max], $25K, adding 4,300 of these rebuys throughout the first hour of play and an extra 1,666 add-ons once late registration closed. When it was all said and done, this low SCOOP event had greater than tripled it's prize pool, with $84,080 up for grabs. 

In total 330 players made their way into the money, including a few of online poker's best. Deeagle, from Thailand, wasn't one in every of them though, falling at the bubble before the remainder of the sector played through a handy guide a rough one-day structure. PokerStars Team Member Stavros Kalfas finished 300th, earning $58.85, and Kyle Julius finished 120th for a $113.50 score. The 2 biggest names, Shaun Deeb and Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier likely only measure their SCOOP successes in wins and so they fell with a couple of tables remaining in 29th and 24th place, respectively. They'll need to wait so as to add to their trophy cases but heading into the overall two tables, it gave the look of a well stacked Dmitry 'Colisea' Urbanovich was in pole position to just do that. 

The Polish professional was just named European Breakout Player of the Year and just over a year ago, he won four titles at EPT11 Malta. He looked to be cruising to the general table before taking a couple of tough beats to bow out in 12th place for a $735 score. One player who did cruise to the overall table though was the six-handed leader Dimoni. The UK-based player scored the previous few knockouts to get to a half dozen players after which took 21,378,000 into the development #11-L final table.  Event #11-L - Final Table Chip Counts:  Seat 1: Skjervoy - 2,510,820Seat 2: Abbe77 - 6,674,561Seat 3: gregor7878 - 2,190,000Seat 4: Lystig - 2,435,756Seat 5: Dimoni - 21,378,080Seat 6: me so fish - 11,015,777

The final table came together in Level 38, with blinds at 125K/250K, meaning three players, Skjervoy, gregor7878 and Lystig were coming in near the 10 big blind mark. Two of these short stacks haven't begun to taste COOP glory but gregor7878 was the exception to that rule, as his two WCOOP titles, from $215 NLHE events in 2011 and 2014 made him probably the most experienced tournament player at this Event #11-L final table. 

While greggor7878 likely had the table covered in past tournament results, Andres 'Skjervoy' Torbergsen have been one of the most online world's biggest and best PLO players over the past few years. The Norwegian burst onto the scene in 2005 and quickly ascended to the nosebleed stakes and despite his short stack, he needed to be considered a threat heading into the overall table. 

While there has been a log jam on the bottom of the leaderboard, there has been some serious separation on the top. Dimoni had the second one biggest stack, me so fish, nearly doubled and it was the chip leaders who used that advantage to quickly send those short stacks to the rail. 

SHORT AND SWEET: Experience can only take you so far, gregor7878 out in 6th place 

Despite being the one player on the Event #11-L final table with past COOP victories, gregor7878 was only in a position to last a couple of hands. Presently after the general table came together, he and chip lead Dimoni got the chips in pre flop, with Dimoni opening the action with a raise to 500,000 from middle position. gregor7878 three-bet to 1,625,000 from the large blind and Dimoni quickly clicked raise again, with gregor7878 calling off his final half-million.

gregor7878 held the most productive of it when the cards were tabled, as his A♠Q♦J♠J♣ had Dimoni's A♣Q♥7♦7♠ dominated. That was, until the 9♦7♥4♦ flop fell, giving the chip leader a collection and leaving gregor7878 drawing to the turn and river. There wasn't a re-suck out, because the K♥ and 5♦ completed the board and confirmed gregor7878's early exit from the general table. He'd make $1,593.31 for his 6th place finish, while Dimoni increased his chip result in just over 23,000,000. 

BACK TO BACK: Dimoni not done yet, Skjervoy eliminated in 5th place

If this wasn't online poker, Dimoni likely would have still been stacking his chips from the last pot when he and Skjervoy got involved at the very next hand. Thankfully, the pixels figured themselves out quickly enough to look the fast stacked high stakes player open to 875,000 from the cutoff. Dimoni then three-bet to 2,750,000 from the large blind and the Norwegian called off for 1,095,000 more. Dimoni was again behind, showing A♣T♣9♦2♣ to Skjervoy's A♠A♦K♦T♦. 

The chip leader hit all of the T♥9♠2♦ flop though, leaving his opponent in search of help. It didn't come, because the 8♠ fell at the turn and the 3♦ was another brick at the river to make sure Skjervoy's 5th place elimination. Andres Torbergsen makes $2,942.80 for his final table run while Domini added to his advantage at the top of the leaderboard. 

YOU'LL GET ONE DOUBLE BUT THAT'S IT: Lystig doubles but then hits the rail in 4th place

On the very next hand, the fast stacks finally got some traction, albeit some short lived traction.  Lystig scored a double through Abbe77 but a couple of hands later, was sent to the rail one spot wanting the podium. 

The double was picked up with Abbe77 opening to 555,555 from the cutoff and Lystig, next to behave at the button, quickly three-bet to 2,041,665. That represented a majority of his stack and Abbe77 then wasted no time getting it all-in, with Lystig calling for 269,000 more. He had to hold to stick alive, as his A♠K♠K♣6♠ was against Abbe77's A♥Q♥T♦7♥. 

The A♣4♣4♥J♣3♣ runout was good for the double, as Lystig's pair of kings came in handy to symbolize his high-card. That shot him as much as 4,990,0000, while Abbe77 was left with slightly below 5,480,000. A half dozen hands later, that double counted for nothing though. Lystig bumped into me so fish, starting his run up the leaderboard. 

me so fish opened the button to 625,000 and Lystig three-bet to 2,000,000 even from the massive blind. me so fish then clicked it back to 6,125,000, which was good enough to position the fast stack all-in, as Lystig called off for 2,600,000 more. He had to crack aces to stick alive, holding A♥K♠Q♦T♣ to me so fish's A♦A♠4♦8♥. 

After the 7♦7♣5♥ flop, it wasn't looking good for Lystig and when the 2♦ fell at the turn, he was officially drawing dead. The K♣ completed the board however it was too little, too late, with Lystig falling in 4th place for a $4,624.40 score. me so fish moved just below 14,000,000 after the hand, still trailing the general table chip leader Dimoni by a good margin. 

CHANGE ON THE TOP: me so fish takes two pots, chip lead off Dimoni

For the primary few hands of ultimate table play, it appeared like Dimoni was going to move wire-to-wire and run away with this Event #11-L title. That was, until me so fish got involved with the chip leader to first take the chip lead after which extend it in a question of some hands.

Both of these hands were in blind versus blind encounters, with the primary seeing Dimoni opening to 750,000 from the small blind. me so fish called within the big to look the K♣T♣7♣ flop. Dimoni made the similar wager at the flop and me so fish just called again to look the A♦ fall at the turn. Dimoni didn't slow down, betting 1,500,000. The Fin called for a 3rd time and after the 7♠ paired the board at the river, Dimoni finally pumped the brakes. 

He checked and me so fish bet 5,000,000. Dimoni quickly called only to peer his opponent table A♣K♥K♦7♥, for a rivered full house. A 16,000,000 chip pot was heading to me so fish and with it, went the chip lead, as he was playing 21,995,000 to Dimoni's 18,700,000.

A few hands later, me so fish's chip lead was increasing with Dimoni at the wrong end of another battle of the blinds. Dimoni raised to 625,000 from the small blind and me so fish again just called to look a 7♣7♥4♠ flop. Dimoni check-called 750,000 and after the K♣ fell at the turn, he checked for a second time, only to lift to 4,500,000 after me so fish bet 1,750,000. 

me so fish called and after the J♠ completed the board, both players quickly checked. Domino turned over K♦Q♦6♥5♥ for kings and sevens but that was no good, as me so fish tabled Q♥9♥7♠4♥ for a flopped full house. When the chip settled, me so fish was playing the easier a part of 28,000,000, while Domini was at his lowest standing, with 12,000,000, since there have been two tables remaining. 

DIMONI'S FALL CONTINUES: Abbe77 doubles to knock Dimoni down even further

When three-handed play began me so fish and Dimoni controlled nearly 40,000,000 of the 46,000,000 chips in play however the two big stacks couldn't stay out of every other's way, with Dimoni seeing his chip lead quickly disappear. Abbe77 was the player working the fast stack but after playing spectator while the massive stacks clashed, he scored a drop Dimoni down even further. 

That hand was picked up after Level 39 began, pumping the blinds to 150K/300K, with Abbe77 opening to 600,000 from the button and Dimoni three-betting to 2,100,000 from the small blind. The large blind folded and Abbe77 called to peer the Q♣5♥4♥ flop in position. Dimoni shoved the flop and Abbe77 called off for his 3,760,000 chip effective stack, holding Q♦Q♠8♦3♠. Dimoni turned over A♠Q♥J♠T♣ and while he had top pair, he was drawing thin, as Abbe77 had flopped top set. 

The J♣ gave the previous chip leader a gut-shot draw to broadway at the turn but after the 6♥ bricked out at the river, Abbe77 was scoring the double. He chipped as much as 12,030,000 and Dimoni was left working 4,200,000, the shortest stack remaining on the final table. 

 BRICK, BRICK; RIGHT DOWN TO TWO: Dimoni's draw doesn't get there, he's out in 3rd place

After giving up the chip lead on the end of the last level, nothing perceived to go Dimoni's way and eventually, he was all-in with an important draw against me so fish's two pair. That hand was picked up with Dimoni opening to 900,000 from the small blind and the Fin calling to look the Q♠T♣2♣ flop. 

Dimoni bet 1,999,9999 and me so fish quickly raised to 4,800,000. That was enough to position the quick stack all-in, as Dimoni called off for just 2,028,000 more. He held A♣K♣T♥8♣ for bot flush and straight draws but me so fish had him again, holding Q♣T♠9♠6♦. The chip leader's two pair held throughout the 8♥ turn, which gave Dimoni and inferior two pair hand, and after the 9♥ completed the board, Dimoni's downfall was complete, as he hit the rail in 3rd place. 

Dimoni made $7,146.80 for his podium finish but that meant that Event #11-L : $11+R PL Omaha [6-Max], $25K was heads up for the title. me so fish held a virtually 2.5:1 chip lead, working 32,882,000 to Abbe77's 13,322,000. 

 ACES VERSUS KINGS FOR THE ENTIRE CHIPS: Cooler ends Event #11-L, Abbe77 eliminated in 2nd place, me so fish wins first SCOOP title and $13,244

Pot Limit Omaha can be a game of draws and slight edges but a couple of hands into Level 40, with the blinds at 200K/400K, the chips got within the middle with each player trying to go Route 1. me so fish held pocket aces and Abbe77 held pocket kings, with that hand starting with the chip leader opening to 2,400,000 from the button. 

Abbe77 then three-bet to 7,200,000 from the massive blind and it was only a matter of time until the four-bet came, as me so fish clicked it back to 21,600,000. Abbe77's effective stack was just 12,675,000 and he called, turning over K♥K♠T♣9♠. He needed help though, as me so fish tabled A♣A♦Q♦6♠. 

Help didn't come at the 8♦4♣2♦ flop and after the 6♦ fell at the turn, Abbe77 was drawing dead heading to fifth street, as me so fish had improved to the nut flush. The 7♣ cruelly completed the board, and a meaningless straight for Abbe77. He'll make $9,669.20 for his runner-up finish while me so fish takes home $13,244.01 for the win.
