Neymar is a regular on PokerStars during major online poker festivals such as SCOOP. In September 2025, he finished seventh in the WCOOP $10,300 Super Tuesday and was back in action on the opening night of SCOOP 2026.
From a field of 240 in the SCOOP 02-H: $530 SCOOP Kickoff, just 16 players remain. Neymar sits in first place, ahead of five-time SCOOP winner Andrey "Anjeyyy" Novak and two-time winner Pavel "silentm0de" Plesuv.
Also still in contention are all-time SCOOP title leader Simon "C. Darwin2" Mattsson (14 titles), who sits 14th of 16 left, and Adrian "Amadi_017" Mateos, who is outside of the top ten in 11th.
The remaining players have all locked up $1,361 with $23,075 awaiting the winner.
