Niclas Thumm
Niclas Thumm

There were 316 entries in Event SCOOP 91-M: $215 PLO8 [6-Max] with just 15 players remaining. Leading the survivors is Andre "Premove "Skvortsov" ahead of 2023 PSPC and 2024 EPT Monte Carlo final tablist Niclas "flushiisback" Thumm.

Skvortsov already has 10 SCOOP titles, and was previously tied with Calvin "cal42688" Anderson and Benny "RunGodlike" Glaser for the all-time record. After Glaser added a tenth on Saturday night, can Skvortsov bag an eleventh of his own?

Lex Leads SCOOP League By Almost 2,000 Points

Much was made of the squad Team Lex had assembled in the inaugural SCOOP League draft, with heavy-hitters Patrick "pads1161" Leonard, Benny "RunGodlike" Glaser, Jerry "perrymejsen" Odeen and Denis "aDrENalin710" Strebkov. In fact, his squad has won nine SCOOP titles this year, with two players (Odeen and Strebkov) bagging two each.

With one week left — including the Main Events which start on Sunday — can anyone catch him?

Third SCOOP Title for 2022 WSOP Main Event Champion Espen Jorstad

Espen Jorstad
Espen Jorstad

2022 World Series of Poker Main Event champion Espen Jorstad has made the headlines once again, with his latest marquee moment taking place in the 2024 PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker.

Jorstad was one of 21 players who conquered their respective fields on the virtual felt, finding form ahead of the SCOOP Main Events that kick off this coming Sunday.

Jorstad Claims Top Honors in SCOOP 99-H: $530 Fenomeno HR SE

The Norwegian's battleground this time around was SCOOP 99-H: $530 NLHE [Fenomeno HR SE], where he outlasted 346 other entries to claim his third SCOOP honor as well as the lion's share of the $173,500 prize pool.

His conquest yielded his bankroll a further $32,244, a nice sum to have in the bank ahead of the 2024 WSOP, which is right around the corner.

Notable names like Blaz "Scarmak3r" Zerjav, Matthew "Stumpfed" Stumpf, and Ivan "Negriin" Luca were present when the field convened around one table but their bust outs paved way for Jorstad's success.

Pardo Reels in Sixth SCOOP Victory and $127K Score

Juan Pardo

Another familiar face added their impressive poker resume, with Juan "Malaka$tyle" Pardo topping the 116-entry field in SCOOP 90-H: $5,200 NLHE [Super Tuesday High Roller]. Along with the $127,128 up top, the biggest prize awarded yesterday, the Spanish maestro secured their sixth SCOOP title after overcoming a star-studded final table.

On the FT, Pedro "pvigar" Garagnani and Pedro "PadiLhA SP" Padilha bowed out in ninth and eighth place, ahead of "drew.derzh" who departed in seventh.

Patrick "pads1161" Leonard banked some more points for Team Lex in the inaugural SCOOP League with his sixth-place finish. It's been a great few weeks for Leonard, who won his eighth title earlier on in the series. Additionally, the Brit is smashing the SCOOP Leaderboards, currently leading the High Leaderboard and sitting in third place Overall. Should Leonard top both tables, he'll be treated to an extra $40,000 in prizes come the end of the series.

The elimination of veteran grinders "Gogac sniper" and "Natrium111" set up three-handed play, where Pardo's compatriot, Vicente "vicenfish" Delgado, exited in third.

Pardo last defeated Canada's "Notmystyle" in heads-up, with the latter collecting the $98,497 silver medal prize.

Double Delight for Dzivielevski

So far this year, only Kelvin "Kelvin_FP:AR" Kerber and the Stumpf could boast about two SCOOP triumphs in the same night. That was until Yuri "theNERDguy" Dzivielevski crashed the party after his Mixed Games heater last night.

The Brazilian sensation first reigned supreme in SCOOP 91-H: $2,100 PLO8, which paid out $36,708 to its victor. The tournament had a $136,000 prize pool, surpassing the $100K guarantee thanks to the 68 entries.

Luminaries such as Denis "aDrENalin710" Strebkov, Niklas "Lena900" Astedt and Joao "Naza114" Vieira also were in attendance for the finale, but could not halt the eventual champion's pursuit of first-place.

Dzivielevski then turned his focus onto SCOOP 97-H: $530 FL Badugi [6-Max], where he tasted glory once more, adding $9,809 to his day's earnings.
