His victories fetched him $567,287 in total prize money, taking his total cashes to around $8.8 million.
Drinan is a Chicago native and his win came after a tough heads-up with Finland’s Jens “Jeans89” Kyllonen who eventually settled for $245,286. Also at the final table was Portugal’s Joao “Naza114” Vieira who fell just short of his second SCOOP title of the series, finishing third for $186,695 payday.
