Christian Jeppsson is the 2026 SCOOP Main Event Champion
The $5,200 No-Limit Hold'em Main Event is the tournament that every PokerStars player dreams of winning during SCOOP. Not only does it come with a huge payday, but it also comes with a ton of adulation from the poker community. This year's champion is none other than Christian "eisenhower1" Jeppsson of Sweden.
Jeppsson outlasted a star-studded field of 443 entrants and got his hands on $397,025 of the $2,215,000 prize pool. The Swede defeated "NY17PATS14" heads-up to clinch the title and left the runner-up to collect a still large $295,097 consolation prize.

All eyes were on Benjamin "bencb789" Rolle at the start of the final table because he had the chance of adding a $5,200 SCOOP Main Event title to the $5,000 WSOP Online Main Event he won back in September 2025. Unfortunately for Rolle and his legion of fans, he could only muster an eighth-place finish worth $49,756.
Jeppsson is a veteran of the online poker world, having enjoyed big results for more than a decade. Much has changed in the world and in his life since his first online score, but one thing has remained: Jeppsson's almost unnatural ability to get the job done in the biggest online tournaments.
