Nedelcu Wins SCOOP Sunday Million for $150K & Repeat Winners Add to Tallies
Monday, March 16 delivered another busy day of action at the 2026 Spring Championship of Online Poker, with a host of winners crowned across formats, but one result stood above the rest.
Narcis “Narcisus90” Nedelcu was the headline act after taking down SCOOP 81-M: $530 NLHE [Sunday Million] for $150,167, the biggest score of the day. The victory secured Nedelcu his sixth career SCOOP title and, perhaps more importantly, saw him add the prestigious Sunday Million champion tag to his résumé.
There were also several familiar names back in the winner’s circle. Nilson “Cabeca Rush” Junior moved up to four career SCOOP titles with victory in the Sunday Kickoff, while Michael “merla888” Gathy added to his tally with a seventh career title in the Warm-Up High. In the Stud streets, "FAL1st" continued to climb the all-time list, now sitting on 11 career SCOOP titles.
Elsewhere, Leonardo “Leeeo9” Camara, Felipe “feldegani.ps” Degani, and Brandon “Tyrion2205” Sheils were among those to get their hands on a SCOOP trophy, while Patrick “JaegsPL” Lauber came out on top in the $530 PLO Turbo PKO.
A number of events also got underway and will play down to a winner today, including the $530 Deep Stacks (85-H) and a trio of Progressive KO events across Events 86 and 88. The standout among them is the $2,100 NLHE PKO (86-H), which drew 105 entries, while the $215 PKO (86-M) pulled in a strong 1,519-entry field.
