Sebastian "peace&loove" Huber Doing the Business for Team Spraggy

As SCOOP Captain Benjamin "Spraggy" Spragg watched his beloved Manchester United take an unexpected slide down the Premier League table after their tough 4-0 defeat against Crystal Palace yesterday, there's a silver lining in his poker world. His roster of poker enthusiasts have handed him 700 reasons to crack a smile.

Team Spraggy currently sits atop the Team Standings with 700 points, with fellow ambassador Sebastian "peace&loove" Huber being a driving force behind the early points haul after notching five cashes across the opening two days.

2024 SCOOP Team Standings:

Spraggy - 700pts
Lex - 660pts
Tonkaaa - 590pts
Fintan - 335pts

In SCOOP 12-L $33 NLHE, Huber's 15th place finish awarded him a payout of $1,146, while a modest $88 went into his poker purse after his 245th placement in the $44 SCOOP Bounty Builder.

Over the last 48 hours, Huber's performances have seen him accrue 135 points in the SCOOP League Table, putting him second in the overall leaderboard. He's only trailing behind online phenom Simon "C Darwin2" Mattsson (160pts), who's also another horse for Team Spraggy.

Adrian "Amadi_017" Mateos Goes Wire-to-Wire in $5,200 Titans

Adrian "Amadi_017" Mateos led the pack of 13 survivors who made it through to the finale of SCOOP 04-H: $5,200 Titans and went the distance to capture his sixth SCOOP title.

The generational talent defeated Alisson "heyalisson" Piekazewicz in heads-up play to seal the victory, along with the $68,255 first-place prize. Mateos' massive $76,367 in bounties boosted his total prize to $144,622, kicking off the Spanish maestro's SCOOP grind in spectacular style.

The final table was full of crushers, sharing 35 SCOOP titles between them. Ignacio "Nacho124441" Moron rounded out the podium while the aforementioned Mattsson booked a fifth-place finish.

2013 PCA Main Event winner Dimitar "KuuL" Danchev also saw a return on his investment, bowing out in eighth place for $19,550.

Ambassador Round Up

As always, plenty of PokerStars Ambassadors were in SCOOP action on Monday. Lex "L. Veldhuis" Veldhuis impressed with a fifth-place finish in the $3,150 Side Event, earning $12,096.44. A nice bounce back after bricking the $5,200 Titans the night before.

Rafael Moraes claimed 33rd place in SCOOP 12-H $1050, winning $1,750, and Spraggy booked a couple of results: 360th place in the $320 Side Event ($131.25) and 99th place in the $215 event ($479.31).

Fintan "easywithaces" Hand has the opportunity to put his second notable score on the board, making Day 2 of SCOOP 08-M: $109 NLHE. He finds himself in the bottom half of the remaining 107 players, with a prize of $448 guaranteed.

Can the Irishman spin it up and seize the $58,352 up top?

"Sintoras" became a four-time champion while Jonas "donut604" Mackoff, "Bxrn" and "BigM_King17" completed their respective hattricks.
