Lauri “Lateski” Varonen claimed the most prestigious Pot-Limit Omaha title of the series, taking down the SCOOP 85-H: $5,200 PLO [6-Max, PLO Main Event] for $192,074 and their first-ever SCOOP title.
The Finnish pro navigated a field of 61 total entries and overcame a tough final table that saw eight players return, with only seven guaranteed a slice of the $500,000 prize pool.
Returning in eighth, Elkku35 was the unfortunate bubble boy after busting early in Day 2 action. From there, the remaining seven locked up at least $19,000, but it was Varonen who steadily climbed to the top, eventually defeating start-of-day chip leader "gragik" heads-up to secure the title and nearly $200K in prize money.
The latest super high-stakes title of SCOOP went to Niklas “Lena900” Astedt, who took down the SCOOP 90-H: $15,000 NLHE Super High Roller after a heads-up deal with fellow Swede Simon “C. Darwin2” Mattsson. Astedt walked away with $233,310, while Mattsson collected $205,312.
The one-day event attracted 56 total entries, including 11 re-entries, generating an $820,400 prize pool. Seven players were paid.
The final duel was a meeting of two of the most successful online tournament players of all time. Astedt and Mattsson opted for an ICM deal before playing it out, with Astedt emerging victorious to collect his 10th SCOOP title.
Argentina’s avr0ra claimed third place for over $132K, while Haringbuis, yAawn, and Ole "wizowizo" Schemion also recorded six-figure payouts.

Anatskiy's SCOOP Titles
Anatskiy has been a fixture in SCOOP results for a dozen years. His first victory came in 2013, and he’s since racked up titles across a range of formats, from freezeouts and turbos to PKOs and re-entry events.
His biggest SCOOP result came in 2024, where he won the $1K Thursday Thrill for $701,000, one of the largest single payouts in the series that year.
Day 3 of the SCOOP NLHE Main Events is upon us, with all three marquee tournaments—Low, Medium, and High—set to play down to their respective nine-handed final tables today.
Action resumes at 4:30 p.m. UTC, and by the end of the day, each field will have its final table locked in ahead of tomorrow's conclusion when three new Main Event champions will be crowned.

Over in the $1,050 SCOOP 82-M: Medium Main Event, just 79 players are left from a 3,465-entry field. The prize pool totals $3,465,000, with $497,321 awaiting the champion.
PokerStars ambassador Laurie “LaliTournier” Tournier is riding high, sitting fourth in chips as she eyes one of the biggest scores of her career. However, Preben "prebz" Stokkan is in the driver's seat for the near $500K payday.
Fellow ambassadors and SCOOP League skippers Parker “Tonkaaaa” Talbot (30th – 4.7 million) and Ben "Spraggy" Spragg (79th – 623,120) are still in the hunt, hoping to ladder up when cards go in the air later today.

$109 Main Event Down to Final 159
Finally, the $109 SCOOP 82-L: Low Main Event continues to showcase just how massive this series can be, with 20,110 entries contributing to a prize pool of $2,011,000. Only 159 players remain, each gunning for the $208,398 top prize. PokerStars ambassador and SCOOP League captain Fintan “easywithaces” Hand was the only Stars rep to cash in this event, bowing out in 704th place.
It was a high-scoring day across the board in the SCOOP League, with all five teams putting up solid numbers. Team Peace&Loove were the best performers, adding 460 points on Monday to climb within striking distance of the lead. But it’s still Team Spraggy on top for now.

After gaining just 80 points the day before, Team Peace&Loove bounced back in a big way with a +460-point day. That pushes their total to 4,955 points, just 440 behind Team Spraggy at the top. A key contribution came from FAL1st, who won their eighth SCOOP title in the $22 PLO Turbo Progressive KO.
Spraggy’s squad did exactly what they needed to, keeping the lead intact with a 295-point day following a more modest +90 on Sunday.
Team Kelvin_FP:AR also had a strong showing, improving on Sunday’s +235 with another +440-point performance. Now sitting at 5,145 points, they remain just 250 off the top spot and within reach of overtaking Spraggy if their current form holds.
Austria's "RhoNin9" helped themselves to an impressive $73,823 score and a 2025 Spring Championship Of Online Poker (SCOOP) title after coming out on top of the $1,050 Pot-Limit Omaha Main Event. The event attracted 409 entrants who created a $409,000 prize pool that the top 53 finishers shared.
Each of the seven finalists locked in more than $12,000 for their efforts. Sweden's "anonymstruts" was the first finalist out of the door, followed by "dx2celt,""MonkeyFather," and Finland's "jopppi."
Ten-time SCOOP champion Ole "wizowizo" Schemion busted in third, leaving "jedimaster82" heads-up against "RhoNin9" for the title of champion and the largest slice of the pie. The one-on-one battle went the Austrian's way, and they captured a $73,823 prize, leaving the Swedish runner-up to pad their bankroll with $54,123.
SCOOP 85-M: $1,050 PLO 6-Max PLO Main Event Final Table Results
Team PokerStars' Marle "MarlzTV" Spragg reached the final table of SCOOP 89-M: $215 NLHE PKO Bounty Builder HR on May 27. Spragg found herself as the second-shortest stack with only ten players remaining, but a key hand went down that saw her double through Brazil's "danield7."
That timely double gave Spragg more breathing room; she called it a "huge momentum shift" while streaming. Unfortunately for Spragg and her legion of fans, it was not meant to be, and she bowed out in eighth place for a $3,988 addition to her bankroll.
The title and a $44,492 payday eventually went to "billionaire," who defeated fellow Brazilian "danield7" heads-up. The runner-up walked away with a $30,302 payout.
