The 2024 PokerStars Spring Championship Of Online Poker (SCOOP) is only days away, and players from far and wide are hitting the online poker tables with renewed vigor, hoping to hit form in time for the $75 million guaranteed series. Thomas “WushuTM” Muehloecker has done precisely that, taking down the $5,200 Titans Event for a cool $83,672, leaving a trail of superstars in his wake.
Sixty-two players, including re-entries, built a $310,000 prize pool that the top nine finishers shared. “SerVlaMin,” thought to be Ukrainian star Vladimir Minko, was the unfortunate bubble boy, bowing out empty-handed in tenth.

With the bubble popped, all but one of the finalists locked in a five-figure score, with Jans “Graftekkel” Arends collecting $9,664 for his ninth-place finish. From there, the big names continued falling. Bruno “great dant” Volkmann busted in eighth, “POKOL0C0,” “Heidigger807,” and “Harringbuis” saw their tournament’s end a few spots before they would have likes.
Polish grinder “happykk99” came in fourth for $35,158, leaving a trio of elite-level stars to fight it out for the title and the $83,672 top prize. After Marius “DEX888” Gierse‘s untimely demise, those three became two, and what a pair they were.
Thomas “WushuTM” Muehloecker fought it out with Patrick “pads1161” Leonard for the largest slice of the $310,000 prize pool. It was Muehloecker who came out on top, resigning Leonard to a $62,670 consolation prize, while locking up yet another online poker title for himself.

Simon “C. Darwin2” Mattsson came out on top in the $1,050 Sunday High Roller PKO, outlasting 121 opponents en route to scooping $30,359 of the $122,000 prize pool. Mattsson not only bolstered his bankroll but gave his confidence a shot in the arm by navigating his way through a star-studded field.
Such luminaries as Sami “Lrslzk” Kelopuro, Preben “prebz” Stokkan, and Tomi “elmerixx” Brouk all came up short at the final table, with Mattsson eventually finding himself one-on-one against Canada’s “roo_400.”
Both heads-up players secured $11,836 from the regular prize pool, leaving five-figure bounties to play for. Mattsson came out on top and walked away with a total prize worth $30,359, leaving “roo_400” to head into the night with $14,492 and a second-place finish.
