The No-Limit Hold’em Super Tuesday events are among the most anticipated tournaments on the SCOOP calendar each week. With the first batch of these SCOOP editions wrapping up tonight, several of online poker’s top grinders are off to a flying start in their spring championship campaigns.
Both the $1,050 NLHE Super Tuesday (SCOOP 16-M) and the $5,200 NLHE Super Tuesday High Roller (SCOOP 16-H) have reached their final tables after play kicked off on Tuesday across the virtual felt. And in a rare double final-table feat, Pascal "Pass_72" Lefrancois has secured seats at both final tables

The race for SCOOP League supremacy is heating up and after a huge Tuesday run, Team Spraggy has rocketed into first place with a massive 690-point haul, bringing their total to 1,120 points.
It was a true team effort across the board, with standout results pushing them past early frontrunners Team easywithaces and into the top spot.
Thanks to a standout performance on Day 3 of SCOOP, “King153246” became the highest-scoring drafted pick of the SCOOP League so far, racking up 550 points, the most among all 30 players across the five teams. His solo effort contributed nearly half of Team Spraggy’s total, propelling them to the top of the leaderboard, even with Daniel "SmilleThHero" Smiljkovic yet to play a single event!
Here’s how the leaderboard stands going into today:

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Spraggy | 1,120 | +690 |
