Finland��s Jussi ��calvin7v�� Nevanlinna secured a brace of titles, taking his combined SCOOP and WCOOP haul to a dozen titles! Here��s what went down on the fifth day of the $100 million guaranteed SCOOP.

Third Time��s a Charm For Elias ��SinKarma�� Gutierrez
Elias ��SinKarma�� Gutierrez took full advantage of being able to re-enter in the SCOOP-18-H: $2,100 NLHE 7-Max event, firing three bullets on his way to an impressive victory.
A total of 139 entries were processed, which wasn��t enough to hit the $750,000 guarantee, not that those who finished in the money minded.
David ��dpeters17�� Peters was the unfortunate soul who burst the money bubble, paving the way for such luminaries as Steve ��Mr. Tim Caum�� O��Dwyer, Aliaksei ��ale6ka�� Boika, and Aleksejs ��APonakovs�� Ponakovs to reel in some prize money.
$26,250 was the least any of the seven finalists could win. Andy ��BowieEffect�� Wilson banked this sum only a couple of days after becoming a SCOOP championship himself. Wilson��s fellow Brit Patrick ��pads1161�� Leonard joined him on the rail before Pavel ��silentm0de�� Plesuv busted in fifth-place.
Sami ��Lrslzk�� Kelopuro was the fourth-place finisher, a result worth a cool $60,000. Marius ��DEX88�� Gierse ran out of steam in third and won $82,500, the last prize not to weigh in at six-figures.
Heads-up pitted Gutierrez against Renan ��Internett93o�� Bruschi, and it was the former who clinched the title and the $174,375 top payout. Bruschi, while disappointed not to win, cannot be too disheartened as he collected $120,000.
2021 SCOOP-18-H: $5,200 NLHE 7-Max Final Table Results
Sami ��Lrslzk�� Kelopuro made amends for slipping up at the final table of the $5,200 NLHE 7-max event by coming out on top in the SCOOP-25-H: $1,050 NLHE 8-Max Turbo.
Some 390 players bought in to ensure the $225,000 guarantee was blown out of the water. It was the top 48 finishers who got their hands on a slice of the $390,000 prize pool.
A min-cashed was worth $2,130, but each of the eight stars who navigated their way to the final table locked up at least $10,431. That sum went to Samuel ���urop�an�� Vousden who could not get going at the final table and was the first out of the door.
��takisxa��, ��CrazyLissy�� and Cristian ��cstival�� Stival were the next players heading for the exits, before Canada��s ��roo_400�� and ��fkiw�� of Sweden bowed out. The Swede��s exit set up a mouth-watering clash between Ukraine��s ��Remi_Lebo_10�� and the legendary Kelopuro.
Kelopuro rarely loses when he finds himself heads-up, and he did not lose this time. Victory came with a $70,557 prize, while the runner-up padded their bankroll with a $53,696 consolation prize.
