At the start of SCOOP (Spring Championship of Online Poker) 2025, Briton Benny Glaser “RunGodlike” was the biggest winner in the series’ history, with 11 titles. However, last year, he went empty-handed, and while he couldn’t find the top of the podium on PokerStars, he saw Simon Mattsson win five titles and reach 14, taking the lead for the most titles.

However, in the very first days of SCOOP 2026, Benny Glaser seems to be back on track. This Tuesday (3), the Briton won Event 12-High (US$ 320 Fenomeno HR Turbo), pocketing US$ 16.626. It is his first title in the traditional PokerStars series since Event 75-Low (US$ 55 NLH Turbo) of SCOOP 2024.
Now, after so much time seeing players chasing him in the number of victories, Glaser seeks to catch Mattsson, who remains at the top with 14 titles. The Briton, however, becomes the sole second place in this ranking, breaking the tie with Swede Niklas Astedt and Russian Andre Skvortsov, who both remain with 11, each.

Among the biggest winners of SCOOP tournaments, Brazil also appears. This is because Kelvin Kerber has nine titles in the series, and the expectation is that he will be in the spotlight throughout this month to try to climb the ranking. SCOOP started last Sunday (1º) and will be played until the upcoming 24th on PokerStars.
