The victory was Hand’s third in successive years with the Irishman having won the $1,050 Afternoon Deep Stack for $73,653 and followed that up by winning the $5,200 NLHE PKO High Roller for a career-best $232,156 in 2021. Hand now has a trio of SCOOP titles; this latest triumph came with an impressive $119,046 with bounties included.
