Two big Progressive KO events are set to crown champions today in the 2025 Spring Championship of Online Poker, with SCOOP 62-M ($215 NLHE) and SCOOP 62-H ($1,050 NLHE) both down to their final stretch, with cards going in the air at 5:30 p.m. BST.

SCOOP 62-M: $215 NLHE [8-Max, PKO, Bounty Builder HR], $300K Gtd

Just 55 players remain from a 1,471-entry field, all chasing a $20,075 top prize — not including bounties that could easily double that score.

Shunzao leads the way with nearly 6 million chips and $1.5K in bounties. PokerStars ambassador Marle "MarlzTV" Spragg, wife of Team Pro Spraggy, is also still in the mix looking for a deep run of her own.

Ignacio "Nacho124441" Moron leads, while elite crushers Sergi Reixach, Andras Nemeth, and Gediminas Uselis remain in contention.

Just 20 players remain from the original 170-entry field in SCOOP 64-H: $1,050 NLHE, with a $175,000 prize pool and $16,902 set aside for the winner—plus bounty prizes still up for grabs.

Matthew "Stumpfed" Stumpf, a two-time SCOOP champion, leads the way heading into the final day.

Patrick "pads1161" Leonard, a Team Spraggy pick and 10-time SCOOP winner, sits in third with over 1.45 million chips, well-positioned for another deep run.

Team Kelvin_FP:AR's Renan "Internett93o" Bruschi enters in 11th place, while SCOOP leaderboard leader and Team Spraggy rep "King153246" holds 13th in chips as he looks to add to his already massive $260K in series earnings.

Play resumes at 8:05 p.m. BST tonight and plays down to the champion.

Whats On the Cards Today? Thursday SCOOP Preview

It’s a busy one on PokerStars today as 22 SCOOP events will play down to a winner. There’s plenty of silverware up for grabs across a mix of formats and stakes. On top of that, the ever-popular Thursday Thrill kicks off its SCOOP edition tonight with three buy-in levels, including a spicy $10K High Roller.

Meanwhile, a couple of big two-day events — SCOOP 62 and SCOOP 64 — return to action this evening. We’ll be checking in on who’s still in the hunt for those titles later today, with a few SCOOP League draftees still in the mix and eyeing valuable leaderboard points.

The headliner has to be SCOOP-69, which gets going at 17:30 BST. There’s the $109 Mini, the $1,050 standard version, and the $10,300 High Roller, all running as Progressive Knockouts and all packed with value. These are two-day events, so anyone still bagging chips tonight will be back tomorrow to battle for six-figure prizes and those sweet, sweet bounties.

If Hold’em’s not your thing, don’t worry there’s plenty of variety on today's schedule. SCOOP-68 brings Limit Hold’em back into the spotlight with three 6-Max tourneys starting at 16:30 BST. And PLO8 fans get their turn at 18:30, with the $5.50, $55, and $530 versions of SCOOP-70 on the schedule.

Later in the evening, things get faster. SCOOP-71 is a Turbo 6-Max at 20:05, followed by SCOOP-72, a Freezeout Turbo PKO at 21:30. If you’ve still got some energy left by 22:30, the SCOOP-73 Mystery Bounty Supersonic is a fun one.

There’s a little bit of everything today, slow-structured deep runs, rapid-fire turbos, and everything in between. Whether you’re taking a shot at your first SCOOP title or jumping into the high-stakes streets, Wednesday has you covered.

We’ll have more later on who’s closing in on those final tables and which SCOOP League teams might be adding some silverware to the trophy cabinet.

The 2025 Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) on PokerStars continues to deliver the virtual felt action and breakout moments, as sixteen more champions etched their names into the series history books on Wednesday.

Of those, thirteen players captured their first-ever SCOOP titles, but there was still room for familiar faces to make headlines.

One of those was Bulgaria’s Ognyan "cocojamb0" Dimov, who claimed his third career SCOOP victory in SCOOP 61-H: $320 PLO Mystery Bounty. The 2015 EPT Deauville Main Event champion added $22,687* to his bankroll with a dominant performance.

Elsewhere, Renan "Internett93o" Bruschi showed why he's a SCOOP staple. The Team Kelvin_FP:AR pro picked up his fourth SCOOP title by taking down SCOOP 63-H: $1,050 Razz, banking $18,823 and denying SCOOP captain Parker "tonkaaaa" Talbot in a heads-up duel.

There was also a return to glory for "Stro0onG", who claimed a second SCOOP title in SCOOP 65-M: $55 NLHE Mystery Bounty, earning $11,355 for the win.

And congratulations are in order for PokerNews alumni Jason "WacKyJaxon" Glatzer, who grabbed his first SCOOP title in SCOOP 56-L: $11 NLHE Micro Super Tuesday, topping a massive field of 7,658 for a $10,592 score.

Benjamin "Spraggy" Spragg's team added another 490 points to their already impressive tally yesterday, extending their lead over Sebastian Huber's Team peace&loove. Fintan Hand's Team easywithaces edged a little closer to second place after Ole "wiowizo" Schemion took down the high-stakes 2-7 Triple Draw event. Hand's team could earn a bagful of points on May 21 thanks to Hand being deep into the $1K Super Tuesday.

Despite some heroics on the virtual felt, Team Tonkaaaa continues to lag behind. However, they are now within 230 points of Team Kelvin_FP:AR.
