There were lots of movers and shakers throughout the Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) 2023 — the 15th edition of the prestigious series which ran from May 7 through Thursday, June 1, 2023.
Here you’ll find an up-to-date list of the players who have won the most SCOOP titles throughout their careers.
Last updated: March 2024
BENNY ‘RUNGODLIKE’ GLASER – 10 TITLES
Incredibly, the UK’s Benny “RunGodlike” Glaser has won at least one title in every COOP series dating back to 2018.
Following his incredible performance throughout SCOOP 2023 in which he won three more trophies, Glaser went on to dominate WCOOP 2023, winning an astonishing seven titles. He stands alone as the most decorated COOP player in PokerStars history with 25 wins overall across SCOOP and WCOOP.
What’s remarkable about Glaser is his proficiency across all poker variants and tournament formats. Scan his SCOOP successes below and you’ll find wins in no limit hold’em (he won his first NLHE title in 2023), PLO8, NLO8, HORSE, PLO, 8-game, 2-7 triple draw, fixed limit hold’em, and stud hi/lo.
Glaser also has four World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets, more than any other Briton.

CALVIN ‘CAL42688’ ANDERSON – 10 TITLES
We don’t see Calvin “cal42688” Anderson on the PokerStars tables much these days, but the legendary online crusher still boasts a record-tying 10 career titles, his last wins coming in 2018. For five years he stood alone in the top spot on this list.
Anderson, from Yukon, Oklahoma, has focused on live poker in recent years, where he has more than $3 million in cashes. But his impressive SCOOP record demonstrates a striking consistency of results. Aside from 2012, he won at least one title every year from 2010 to 2018.
Note the variation too. Anderson has a title for nearly every type of poker in existence.
ANDERSON’S 10 SCOOP TITLES

2010 β 17L: $16.50 Pot Limit Omaha (6-Max, rebuys) β $26,940
ANDRE ‘PREMOVE’ SKVORTSOV – 9 TITLES
By far the most mysterious player on this list, Russia’s Andre “Premove” Skvortsov is the only one we don’t have a photo of. He rarely plays live poker, instead opting to crush online.
And crush he does. Skvortsov — who now plays from Montenegro — was one of only five players in 2023 to win three titles (Glaser being one of them) during SCOOP 2023. He also won two in 2022 and 2021.
Like Glaser and Anderson, his trophies come in a range of poker disciplines, proving he’s one of the best all-around online tournament players out there.

2023 — 66-M: $33 NLHE 8-max Weekend Starter – $7,750

2019 — 16-H: $2,100 NL Omaha H/L – $47,793
OLE ‘WIZOWIZO’ SCHEMION – 8 TITLES
Itβs hard to believe that German wunderkind Ole βwizowizoβ Schemion is only 30 years old. It feels like heβs been crushing both live and online tournaments forever.
Since 2018, Schemion has captured eight SCOOP victories. He won three in 2022 and added one more in the most recent series: a 5-card PLO title.
He now lives and plays in Austria and is always a threat, particularly in High Rollers where he has an impressive three wins in $10K buy-in events.

NIKLAS “LENA900” ASTEDT – 8 TITLES
Considered by many to be the greatest online tournament player of all time, Swedenβs Niklas βLena900β Astedt has amassed an incredible $25.5 million in online cashes β second of all time β and won just about everything there is to win along the way.
Astedt entered the 2023 SCOOP with six titles and added two more, both in Progressive Knockout events (one NLHE, the other NLO8).
He plays all of the games excellently and you’d be a fool to bet against him from winning events in any series.

The UK’s Matthew “MUSTAFABET” Ashton picked up two shiny new trophies in the 2023 SCOOP series, taking his total tally up to eight. His first came back in 2016.
Ashton is one of the most feared mixed games players, not only online but also in the biggest live cash games in the world.

TOBIAS ‘SENKEL92’ LEKNES – 7 TITLES
Norwegian mixed games master Tobias “senkel92” Leknes was one of the five hat-trick winners throughout SCOOP 2023. But it could have been so many more as he had multiple runner-up and third-place finishes too.
Leknes also boasts the second-most WCOOP titles with 12, making him Glaser’s closest competitor on the all-time COOP list. He won three WCOOP titles in 2022 and continued that trend in SCOOP 2023. He then won three more WCOOP titles in 2023.
His victories across all series come in every form of poker.

MIKE ‘SIRWATTS’ WATSON – 7 TITLES
Despite being a successful poker pro for 15+ years, Mike “SirWatts” Watson always seems like he’s just getting started.
Watson — who took down the EPT Monte Carlo 2023 Main Event to become one of only three people to have two EPT live titles — had seven SCOOP victories heading into the 2023 series, winning three in 2020 alone.
He didn’t manage to add any silverware in 2023 but enjoyed several deep runs, notably finishing third in the $25K Super High Roller.
Watson has always shown tremendous versatility in SCOOP, with seven titles coming from six different variations of poker.

JUSSI βCALVIN7Vβ NEVANLINNA β 7 TITLES
Finnish pro Jussi “calvin7v” Nevanlinna had an epic year in 2021, securing two SCOOP titles to make it seven in total.
Youβll notice that Nevanlinna, like many of the players mentioned here, targets not only Holdβem, but all formats of poker. He also plays at all stakes, with titles in $5.50 games as well as $1K events.
Nevanlinnaβs 2021 double was a story in itself β two titles on the same night, in the same event. One in the low-stakes version and one in the high-stakes version of the FLO8.
He’s also got six WCOOP wins.

PATRICK “PADS1161” LEONARD – 7 TITLES
Perennial SCOOP Leaderboard performer Patrick “pads1161” Leonard is undoubtedly one of the most successful pros of his generation, racking up seven SCOOP titles from 2017 onwards and doing the double in both 2020 and 2021.
Leonard captured his seventh trophy by winning the $5,200 Titans PKO for a massive $197. But while Leonard is an NLHE wizard, he’s also an incredible player in every game.
You can expect him to add plenty more titles in mixed games over the coming years.

RUI “RUINF” FERREIRA – 7 TITLES
In 2020, Portuguese phenom Rui “RuiNF” Ferreira was crowned SCOOP player of the year without even winning a title. He did this by cashing more than 100 times and making nine final tables, with his top three cashes alone totalling nearly $300K.
He’s come close to winning the Player of the Series title every year since and in 2023 he picked up two more trophies, one in NL 5-card draw and the other in NLHE.
Ferreira now plays from Brazil and is one of the most accomplished players across all buy-in tiers.
