Russian Poker Pros Shine in SCOOP Tournament
Russian poker players have made a significant impact in the SCOOP tournament on PokerStars, securing 17 final tables and over $1 million in prizes. Among the notable achievements, Feruell won a mixed hold'em tournament, while Aleksey Makarov triumphed in a pot-limit Omaha tournament on Victory Day.
Aleksey Makarov's victory was particularly impressive, as he faced Mikael Tureniec in the final hand with only a 5% chance of winning. Despite the odds, Makarov emerged victorious, adding to his reputation as a top player. Shon Deeb, known for his distinctive hairstyle, also won the middle pot-limit Omaha tournament with rebuys, showcasing the diverse talent among Russian players.
Nikolay Losyev also made a strong showing, finishing second in the SCOOP-04-M Badugi tournament. This achievement highlights the depth of talent among Russian poker players, who continue to make their mark on the global poker scene.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
