«king153246» keeps crushing the leaderboards

Albania-based «king153246» picked up his second SCOOP title by taking down the $55 NLHE Mini Super Tuesday (3,145 entries, $22.7K). He also scored on every weekly leaderboard:

  • High: 2nd place ($3.5K). Winner: Renan «Internett93o» Bruschi ($5K)
  • Medium: 1st place ($3.5K)
  • Low: 2nd place ($1K). Winner: «Moralezz» from Brazil

In the Overall Leaderboard, «king153246» is running away with it, sitting at 3,170 points. His nearest challenger, «Fal1st» (Thailand), has 2,260 points. For context: «Fal1st» won the leaderboard in 2023 and finished 2nd in 2024 (overtaken by Denis «aDrENalin710» Strebkov on the final day). This time, though, a comeback looks unlikely.

Reminder: SCOOP leaderboard points are awarded for every cash — 5 points for a min-cash, 100 points for a win.

While the Main Events are done, SCOOP continues through June 2.
