SCOOP Sunday Debrief: Main Events Reach Day 2 & SCOOP Captain Kerber Gets Ninth SCOOP Title
Sunday was the biggest day yet in the Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP), with all six Main Events kicking off their Day 1 action in what promises to be a blockbuster final week.
We’ll dive deeper into those prestigious tournaments soon—but first, let’s shine the spotlight on Sunday’s champions, with nine players etching their names into the SCOOP history books.
Among them was SCOOP League captain Kelvin "Kelvin_FP:AR" Kerber, who secured his ninth career SCOOP title by taking down SCOOP 86-H: $1,050 PKO Sunday Cooldown. He earned $49,155 for the win, including $30,781 in bounties. It marked his first title of the 2025 series and his eighth since 2022, with his maiden win dating back to 2015.
Another familiar name returning to the winner’s circle was Ihar "OMGitshunt" Soika. The Belarusian, who famously finished runner-up in the 2019 SCOOP Main Event, topped a 343-entry field in SCOOP 87-H: $530 6-Max Mystery Bounty. Fellow SCOOP League draftee Renan "Internett93o" Bruschi also made the final table, finishing sixth.
The Women’s Event—SCOOP 83: $55 NLHE—also crowned its champion, with “fvallerio” outlasting 246 entries to earn $2,478.
