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

Eduardo "Eduardo850" Silva leads the charge in the mid-stakes edition, bringing 46 big blinds into the final session. Close behind are Matthew "mjw006" Wakeman and Jans "Graftekkel" Arends, two highly respected online veterans. Also in the hunt is EPT Cyprus Main Event champion Gilles "TaxationIsTheft" Simon who is sitting in the middle of the pack with 31 big blinds.

The $1,050 edition drew 386 entries, generating a $386,000 prize pool with 47 players paid. Everyone at the final table is guaranteed $7,634, but all eyes are on the $70,562 top prize.

SCOOP 16-H $5,200 NLHE Super Tuesday High Roller FT Chip Counts

While the mid-tier event drew a deep field, the high-stakes $5,200 Super Tuesday came just shy of hitting its guarantee after attracting 77 entries.

"Ebaaa11" leads the final table with just over 2.5 million chips (31 big blinds), followed by "13santoy13" and "[Removed:560]". Team tonkaaaa Simon "C. Darwin2" Mattsson is also in the mix. The minimum payout is $12,471, while the eventual winner will walk away with $107,964.

The final table was set when SCOOP Team Captain Kelvin "Kelvin_FP:AR" Kerber bowed out in 10th place on the stone bubble, after his pocket aces were cracked by Team Spraggy’s "king153246".

SCOOP League

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!
