Pavel "silentm0de" Plesuv Brings Up 5 SCOOP Titles

Eliot Thomas

2023 World Series of Poker Millionaire Maker bracelet winner Pavel "silentm0de" Plesuv made it 5 SCOOP titles on Sunday, after taking down the SCOOP 124-H: $530 NLHE [6-Max, Hyper-Turbo, Sunday Supersonic], $100K Gtd.

Plesuv, who banked $19,003.72 for his efforts, would require 3 buy-ins, but got the job done against the 222-entry field to bank yet another impressive score on the PokerStars spring series.

There was no shortage of talented players at the final table, not least 3-time SCOOP champion Benjamin "bencb789" Rolle, who last year won the 2025 WSOP Online Main Event for $3,907,707.

However, it was Plesuv left standing when all was said and done. Check out the final table results below:

SCOOP 120: $55 NLHE [Progressive KO Women's Event] turned up a remarkable story, after British-based "tlh1278" turned a $2.20 satellite into $2,537 and a first SCOOP title.

The tournament drew a large field, exceeding the $10,000 GTE with a prize pool of $11,500, and featured a talented field of female grinders, including PokerStars Team Pro Marle "MarlzTV" Spragg.

"Fal1st" Captures Title No.14, Moves Into Joint 2nd

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Eliot Thomas

“Fal1st” might feel a touch unlucky not to have become the all-time SCOOP leader, as the online series legend claimed their 14th SCOOP title on the very same night Patrick Leonard surged ahead with a rapid double.

The serial SCOOP winner and mixed-game specialist became just the fourth player in history to reach 14 titles, joining Jerry Odeen and Simon Mattsson, after taking down SCOOP 115-H: $1,050 NLHE [6-Max, Turbo], $75K Gtd for $22,132.64 on Saturday.

It adds to a remarkable run for “Fal1st,” who won their first SCOOP title in 2021 and has already captured four more in this year’s series, maintaining an extraordinary tempo.

Check out the final table results below:

Patrick Leonard Becomes All-Time SCOOP Leader with 15 Titles

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Eliot Thomas

Patrick Leonard became the all-time PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) leader on Saturday, claiming two titles in under 10 minutes to reach a record 15 victories in the series.

Leonard, playing under the handle "pads1161," captured back-to-back 8-Game titles in SCOOP events 107-M and 107-H, overtaking Simon Mattsson and Jerry Odeen to become the all-time leader in online poker’s flagship spring series, which recently surpassed $1.5 billion in total payouts.

Saturday's dual victory is the crowning moment in what has been a remarkable 2026 SCOOP for Leonard, widely considered to be one of the best online players in the world, who has won five titles in just a few short weeks.

And with three days remaining, including the marquee SCOOP Main Events kicking off on Sunday, there’s every chance the Brit isn’t finished yet.

All-Time SCOOP Leaderboard Top 5*

Rank	Player	SCOOP Titles
1	Patrick "pads1161" Leonard	15
2	Simon "C. Darwin2" Mattsson	14
2	Jerry "Perrymejsen" Odeen	14
2	"FAL1st"	14
3	Andre "Premove" Skvortsov	13
4	Benny "RunGodlike" Glaser	12

5	Denis "aDrENalin710" Strebkov	10
5	Ole "wizowizo" Schemion	10
5	Kelvin "Kelvin_FP:AR" Kerber	10

That Leonard's Saturday SCOOP double came in mixed-game events will be little surprise to anyone familiar with the man from Newcastle, England, who just last month finished 2nd to Yuri Dzivielevski in the $15,000 Big Bet Mix at the 2026 PGT Mixed Games Series for $166,950.

He kicked off his SCOOP weekend with a win in SCOOP 107-M: $109 8-Game, $15K Gtd, an event that smashed its guarantee with a $26,400 prize pool and earned Leonard $5,088.96.

Just nine minutes later, he followed up with victory in SCOOP 107-H: $530 8-Game, $20K Gtd, which also exceeded its guarantee with a $34,000 prize pool, taking home $9,176.97 and banking more than $14,000 in less time than it takes to drink a cup of coffee.

That double was enough to leapfrog Odeen and Mattsson, putting Leonard firmly atop the all-time SCOOP leaderboard on a record 15-titles.

Saturday at the PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) felt like one of those days that will be referenced for years to come.

Twenty-one events produced winners, but the headlines belong to Patrick "pads1161" Leonard, who surged into outright first on the all-time SCOOP leaderboard, capturing two titles on a single night that now pushes him to 15 in total, a mark that now stands alone at the top.

Right behind him, "Fal1st" did everything required to steal the spotlight, only to be edged out by timing. Another title took them to 14 career wins, a tally that would have matched the record on any other day. Instead, they now sit alongside former pace setters Simon "C. Darwin2" Mattsson and Jerry "Perrymejsen" Odeen.

The milestones kept stacking up. Michael "merla888" Gathy moved to eight SCOOP titles, while "Bxrn" and Robin "robinho" Ylitalo each moved to four career wins. Elsewhere, "Gremio CEM" and "SerMaxPro" both notched a third career win, while "mijauhdax111" collected a second trophy to boot.

It was relentless, record-breaking, and at times hard to keep up with. A proper SCOOP Saturday. Check out all the winners below:

Patrick Leonard Deep in Two 8-Game Events

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Matthew Pitt

Most people know Patrick "pads116" Leonard for his No-Limit Hold'em prowess, but the 13-time SCOOP champion is also a dab hand at mixed games. He has won SCOOP events in Pot-Limit Omaha, PLO8, Stud Hi-Lo, and 2-7 Triple Draw. Now, Leonard has two chances of adding an 8-Game title to his CV.

Leonard is second I chips with only 20 players remaining in the $109 8-Game event, which resmes at 6:30 p.m. GMT. He also occupies second place in the $530 8-Game event, where only nine players remain in the hunt for the title.

Markku Koplimaa Wins $15,880 in Three Hours

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Matthew Pitt

The $530 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Max Hyper PKO Daily Supersonic shuffled up and dealt at 10:30 p.m. GMT on March 19. Three hours and six minutes later, 149 of the 150 field had busted. Estonia's Markku "markovitsus" Koplimaa was the only player left standing; he scooped $15,880 and his fourth SCOOP trophy.

A five-minute clock made short work of the stacked field, and the money bubble was reached rather quickly. Once Breno "Breno2728" Drumond fell in 20th and burst the money bubble, players such as Leonard "Grozzorg" Maue, Dalton "daltonhb" Hobold, "king153246," Peter "Belabacsi" Traply, "FAL1st," and Jonathan "Proudflop" Proudfoot busted but with prize money to show for their efforts.

In-form Renan "Internett93o" Bruschi recorded his 89th cash of the 2026 SCOOP but had to make do with a seventh-place finish.

Third-place went to Gilles "TaxationIsTheft" Simon, who had won a $109 satellite into this event. That $109 is now worth $6,960.

Simon's untimely demise left the tournament heads-up, where Koplimaa defeated fellow Estonian "TheDzuu" to clinch his fourth SCOOP victory and a top prize of $15,880, including bounties.

Matthew Pitt

A victory in the $530 No-limit Hold'em 7-Max Turbo Mystery Bounty was the third such result for Daniel "SmilleThHero" Smiljkovic. The Austra'based star left a trail of 161 opponents in his wake as he got his hands on $20,499, which included $13,500 from the mystery bounty prize pool.

The seven-handed final table was crammed with legitimate superstars. Brunno "botteonpoker" Botteon was the first of the seven finalists to bow out, followed by Joris "BillLewinski" Ruijs, Patrick "pads1161" Leonard, and Alexandros "Pwndidi" Theologis.

Brazil's "danield7" crashed by the wayside in third before Smiljkovic defeated "Piranha_n1" heads-up to capture his third SCOOP title and complete his hat trick.
