The Spring Championship of Online Poker is in full swing at PokerStars, offering players a wealth of online tournament options. For poker player Simon Mattsson, the events have been fruitful. The player just recently won not one event, but two, claiming SCOOP victory in a PKO event as well as an NLO8 event. Known as C. Darwin2 online, Mattsson was able to defeat two different fields to claim the wins.
$1,050 8-Max Turbo PKO Win
On April 13, PokerStars hosted several events including the SCOOP 46 High event, the NLHE 8-Max, Turbo, Progressive KO. The event had a buy-in of $1,050 and saw 461 players enter. This pushed the advertised $350,000 prize pool guarantee to a whopping $461,000.
Because bounties were included, players were able to claim not only the prize money for finishing in a certain position but also their bounty earnings for knocking players out of the competition. In this event, Mattsson would make his way to the heads-up round to take on Tauan “kylix42” Naves.
The two would go head-to-head for a bit before Mattsson would claim the first-place finish. He earned $74,465 for the win and his first SCOOP title of the day.
Final Results:
| Place | Player | Total Prize |
| First | Simon Mattsson | $74,465 |
| Second | Tauan Naves | $37,137 |
| Third | Jens Lakemeier | $47,870 |
| Fourth | Niklas Astedt | $23,832 |
| Fifth | Peter Turmezy | $20,030 |
| Sixth | Pedro Padilha | $18,114 |

The second win for Mattsson came during the NLO8 event. The online poker tournament had a buy-in of $530 and featured a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool. With 262 players competing, the prize pool increased to $131,000. Mattsson cut a heads-up deal and ended up with $21,166 in prize money and the title win.
