Alexgirs Shares His Journey to Winning the Main SCOOP Tournament

Poker player Alexgirs recently won the main SCOOP tournament, a significant achievement in his career. Alexgirs started playing poker professionally in 2013, initially combining it with work in a bank while studying at university. He moved to Moscow in 2015 with university friends to work in the financial sector, but decided to focus on poker after winning over $100k in 2017.

Alexgirs prefers playing on other platforms rather than PokerStars due to stronger competition. He won a $10k tournament in April by qualifying through satellites, a strategy he often employs. During SCOOP, Alexgirs played only one 'pяterка' and focused on knockouts up to $2k and freerolls up to $1k.

Alexgirs' strategy involves playing fewer tables to maintain focus and concentration. He won the main SCOOP tournament by qualifying through a satellite, showcasing his skill and strategic planning. His journey from combining poker with work to becoming a full-time professional player is an inspiring story for many aspiring poker players.
