It was another high-volume, high-profile Monday on SCOOP for PokerStars Ambassador Neymar, who stacked two High-tier final tables and now heads into Tuesday with a real shot at a Super High Roller title.

His day began as the Day 2 chip leader in SCOOP 02-H: $530 NLHE [SCOOP Kickoff], where 240 entries built a $120,000 prize pool. Neymar navigated a final table that included Pavel “silentm0de” Plesuv, Adrian “Amadi_017” Mateos and 14-time SCOOP champion Simon “C. Darwin2” Mattsson before bowing out in seventh for $4,538.36. The title went to "aminolast", but it was an early sign that Neymar was settling into the series quickly.
