There may be days left in the Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) on PokerStars, but there are still plenty of titles to be won.
Team Lex looks to be assured of victory in the inaugural SCOOP League, and was helped on Saturday night by three of his picks winning titles — including Denis “aDrENalin710” Strebkov winning his fourth of the year, bringing him to 19 COOP titles overall.

Unstoppable Strebkov Wins SCOOP 108-M: $109 HORSE [Progressive KO]
Everyone knew coming into SCOOP 2024 that Lex had drafted an incredibly strong team. But few could have expected his SCOOP League team to have dominated in such fashion.
Most of that is in part to Denis “aDrENalin710” Strebkov who has doubled his SCOOP titles tally in a single year, winning his fourth last night in SCOOP 108-M: $109 HORSE.
This year, Strebkov has won SCOOP titles in 8-Game, 2-7 Single Draw, 5-Card PLO and now HORSE, showing he’s a true mixed games competitor. In fact, only one of his SCOOP titles has ever come in NLHE.
The top four in this particular event had all won SCOOP titles before, but Strebkov came out on top to deny “soumi7” and “DeathBrain09”, with “JRIXYZLE” also denied having won their first SCOOP title earlier this week in Event 97-L: $22 FL Badugi.

Roman “Gogac Sniper” Hrabec Wins Two in One Night
It was quite a night for Roman “Gogac Sniper” Hrabec who first banked one of the largest first prizes of the festival in SCOOP 102-H: $5,200 NLHE [Progressive KO, Thursday Thrill High Roller] before adding a second title later that evening in SCOOP 111-M: $109 NLHE [6-Max, Turbo].
Earlier this month, Hrabec won the largest ever $100,000 High Roller at Triton Poker Jeju, winning $4.33 million, and he had to battle an equally tough final table in the Thursday Thrill High Roller that featured the likes of Sergio “zcedrick” Aido and Ben “bencb789” Rolle.
Kelvin “Kelvin_FP:AR” Kerber won his third SCOOP title of the year earlier this week and he was eliminated in third place, before Hrabec defeated “.COM??LOL” heads-up.
Hrabec banked $162,826 for his Thursday Thrill High Roller victory and $27,331 for his second, bringing him to three SCOOP titles in total.
Ole “wizowizo” Schemion Wins Ninth SCOOP Title
It’s one of the most recognizable online nicknames, and now Ole “wizowizo” Schemion is back in the SCOOP winner’s circle after taking down SCOOP 111-H: £1,050 NHLE [6-Max, Turbo]. He defeated Renan “Internett93o” Bruschi heads-up to deny the Brazilian his second SCOOP title of the year, after Bruschi won SCOOP 09-H: $1,050 HORSE in the opening week.
Schemion’s first SCOOP titles came in 2018 when he won two. The first was his largest SCOOP victory overall, winning a $10,300 PLO High Roller for over $283,000. Two more titles followed in 2020, and three in 2022 including another $10,300 High Roller win
Schemion’s nine titles see him tied for third on the all-time SCOOP title list alongside Niklas “Lena900” Astedt, who also won his ninth this year.

Saturday, May 25 SCOOP Results
A total of 21 players won SCOOP titles on Saturday night, and they included Jerry “perrymejsen” Odeen, who won his third SCOOP title of the year and his eighth overall. This sees yet more points go the way of Team Lex who surely must have done enough to wrap up the SCOOP League title.
However, Team Spraggy isn’t going down without a fight as “FAL1st” notched their second SCOOP title of the year and fifth SCOOP title.
Meanwhile, “NorBaggio”, “Zhagy27SLO” and Nilson “Cabeca Rush” Junior all grabbed the second SCOOP titles of their careers.
