SCOOP Thursday Recap: Mattsson’s Gets Record-Extending 14th Title and Satellite Heroes Shine
Another dramatic day of action played out on PokerStars yesterday as the Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) powered toward its final stretch. The latest batch of events saw fresh-faced champions, veteran crushers returning to the winner’s circle, and a few feel-good satellite stories that prove you don’t need a big bankroll to score big.
Simon “C.Darwin2” Mattsson continues to cement his legacy as one of the series’ all-time greats. The Swedish superstar claimed his fifth title of the 2025 series — and a record-extending 14th of his career — after taking down SCOOP 107-H: $1,050 5-Card PLO [6-Max, Progressive KO] for $26,612. His run is one of the defining performances of this year’s championship.
There was also a standout story in SCOOP 103-M, where dweep2 turned a $22 satellite entry into an $18,486 payday, good for a jaw-dropping 839% ROI. Likewise, RRi59 pulled off an even more impressive feat in SCOOP 111-L, converting a $1.65 seat into $5,255 and their first-ever SCOOP title, for a staggering 3184% ROI.
Familiar Names Back on Top
Elsewhere, the Thursday grind saw some familiar names bag another trophy. Michael Keys grabbed his second SCOOP title in SCOOP 101-H, pocketing $45,885, while Luigi “Gofaziin26” Soncin added a second trophy in SCOOP 106-H for $33,453.
Two players also won their third career SCOOP titles. Daniel “dani aziz” Aziz bagged #3 in SCOOP 110-M ($25,521), and HighRiskHReward in SCOOP 110-H ($31,485)
And in the Hyper-turbo finale of the night, Gediminas “Gedis92” Uselis nabbed his second title with a $24,051 win in SCOOP 112-H.
