Skvortsov Wins Two SCOOP Titles in One Night; 24 Champions Crowned on March 5
Thursday, March 5 delivered another packed night at the 2026 Spring Championship of Online Poker, with 24 new SCOOP champions crowned across a busy slate of events. For most of them, it was a breakthrough moment, as the majority of winners captured their first SCOOP title.
The big story, however, belonged to Andre “Premove” Skvortsov, who pulled off one of the most impressive performances of the series so far by winning two titles in the same night.
Skvortsov first took down SCOOP 22-M: $109 NLO8 [Progressive KO], topping a 344-entry field for $7,306 and his 12th SCOOP title. He followed that up shortly after in the $1,050 High edition, where 68 entries created a $68,000 prize pool. Skvortsov once again came out on top, banking $22,487 and securing SCOOP title No. 13.
The double puts Skvortsov just one title behind all-time SCOOP leader Simon “C. Darwin2” Mattsson and moves him past Benny “RunGodlike” Glaser into second place on the all-time SCOOP title leaderboard.
Elsewhere on the schedule, the biggest payday of the night went to "Tapiscalle?", who captured SCOOP 21-H: $1,050 NLHE [Progressive KO, Bounty Builder HR] for $34,695, the largest winner’s payout of the day.
A few familiar names also re-entered the winner’s circle. Timothy “1BigAceHole” Ulmer claimed his second SCOOP title in SCOOP 29-H: $215 NLHE [The Copacabana Unlimited] for $21,521. Brazilian Thiago “tgrigoletti” Grigoletti also secured his second title in SCOOP 31-M: $109 PLO, while UK pro Gavin “gavz101” Cochrane picked up his third SCOOP trophy by winning SCOOP 31-H: $530 PLO.
The TJS also added to their collection by winning SCOOP 28-M: $109 Stud Hi/Lo, their fourth SCOOP title.
2023 EPT Paris Main Event champion Razvan "razvqq" Belea was among the first-time SCOOP winners. The Romanian grinder — who made the most recent Sunday Million final table — took down SCOOP 25-M: $109 NLHE [7-Max, Deep Stacks], $125K Gtd for $22,371.
