2025 PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker
It's been a good SCOOP for Renan "Internett93o" Bruschi, winning three SCOOP titles in quick succession, bringing his total to five.
The first draft pick from Kelvin "Kelvin FP:AR" Kerber in the SCOOP League looks to be repaying him with plenty of points, as well as the $25,148 he won for his latest victory.
Bruschi took down SCOOP 74-M: $109 NLHE after defeating Austria's "ShoveShuva" heads-up. Finishing in third was "oPyri" who later that night would go on to win their first title in SCOOP 79-L.

In the 892nd episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Kyna England talk about the counterfeit poker chips that were discovered at a Texas cardroom, a home game robbery in Hawaii, and a huge laydown in a $2.4 million cash game pot from Triton Poker.

Speaking of big winners, Kevin Li took down the 2025 WSOP Tournament of Champions, Stephen Song was victorious on The Lord Poker Tour for $750K, and both Corey Wick and Josh Freund claimed big mid-major wins.
The crew then discusses Alan Keating's NBA adventure that involved busting Steph Curry and winning a bracelet; the return of the PokerStars Big Game; and how Mike avoided a deadly shooting at his Las Vegas gym thanks to his friend, Jeff Madsen.

Despite winning a maiden SCOOP title last night, Team peace&loove has found itself dropping to third in the SCOOP League race as Main Event Sunday comes around.
Renan "Internett93o" Bruschi's fifth SCOOP title win — his third of 2025 — has seen Team Kelvin_FP:AR move into second spot, but still some way adrift of Team Spraggy atop the counts.
Will Sunday bring another dramatic swing?
He called it "one of the best streams he's ever had," as Sebastian "peace&loove" Huber finally became a SCOOP champion.
His victory in SCOOP 77-M: $55 8-Game saw him grab the first SCOOP title of his career, defeating a field of 565 players and taking home almost $4,000, including $1,875 in bounty payouts.
Other players who cashed in this event include Patrick "pads1161" Leonard (14th - $319), Denis "aDrENalin710" Strebkov (29th - $125) and Lasse "Wistern" Jagd Lauritsen, who managed a 47th place finish for $86.
