The 2026 SCOOP festival is reaching its business end. The three Main Events ($109, $1,050, and $5,200) start on Sunday at 5:30pm WET and will play out over four days, with champions crowned on Wednesday, March 25.
That means the Pick 3 sweat is well and truly on, as teams battle for the $5K Irish Open package.
As expected, the Big Hitters have dominated proceedings. 'FAL1st' was drafted 99 times and repaid his managers by shooting straight to the top of the Overall leaderboard after the first week. He's still there now. He’s already scored 3,805 points, picked up three SCOOP titles, and is still grinding.
Incredibly, 'FAL1st' is not only at the top of the Overall SCOOP leaderboard but also at the top of the High and Medium leaderboards and second in the Low. That’s serious domination.
Team StopLossing has built a decent lead at the top of the Pick 3 leaderboard, and all three of their players have scored in the four figures. 'AmateurGOAT' is the player who's propelled them to the top with 1,330 points despite being drafted by just eight managers.
1st: Team StopLossing
- FAL1st: 3,805
- zidix: 1,040
- AmateurGOAT: 1,330
Team StopLossing's lead is 245 points over Team Fandango's Flyers. The second-place side also has 'FAL1st' and 'zidix', with 'Bxrn' completing the lineup. All three players have scored four figures as well.
Ivan 'zidix' Zhechev was drafted by 93 managers. 
2nd: Team Fandango's Flyers
- FAL1st: 3,805
- Bxrn: 1,085
- zidix: 1,040
All to play for in the final stretch
There are still plenty of titles (and points) to play for. Patrick 'pads1161' is currently looking for his fourth and fifth titles of the 2026 festival. He's leading the final three in the SCOOP 107-H $530 8-Game event, and he's leading the final six in the SCOOP 107-M $109 8-Game event. That would be an incredible double.
Can Patrick Leonard pick up a crazy SCOOP double on Saturday night?If your team is still in with a shot at the top spot, you can sweat all the Main Event action on the PokerStars Twitch channel.
On Tuesday, the stream will show the action from 40 down to the final nine players. Those nine players will resume on the livestream Wednesday, when all of the other SCOOP 2026 events conclude.
