Another memorable moment from SCOOP 2024 was the performance of veteran player Sarah “QueenOfHearts” Roberts, who claimed victory in the High Roller event and pocketed a cool $500,000. Roberts, a former SCOOP champion, demonstrated her skill and experience at the tables, outlasting some of the toughest competition in the field.
In an emotional post-tournament interview, Roberts reflected on her journey in poker and the challenges she has faced along the way. “It’s been a long road to get to this point, but all the hard work and dedication has paid off,” she said. “I’m grateful for the support of my fellow players and the poker community, who have always been there for me.”
