Cal Anderson Joins Shaun Deeb as 4-time SCOOP Winners

Posted February 22, 2026 by TitanPokerBonusCodes in News.

Calvin "Cal42688" Anderson is one of the better known online poker tournament players in the game (and for good reason) and 2026 could very well be the breakout year for Anderson considering he has had a fair amount of live tournament success in 2026, and just made poker history by joining online poker legend Shaun Deeb as the only poker players with four PokerStars SCOOP titles.

In 2026 Anderson has finished 5^th in the 2026 Irish Poker Open Main Event, 10^th in the PokerStars EPT Berlin Main Event, as well as cashing in the PokerStars PCA Main Event and the EPT Grand Final Main Event. Anderson's biggest live tournament score came in 2026 when he finished 14^th in the PokerStars PCA Main Event for $115k.

Anderson's fourth SCOOP win came in Event #25-M, a $215 Fixed Limit Holdem 6-Max tournament. Cal Anderson took on another talented poker player who flies under the radar, Nick Abou Risk from Ireland, who finished as the runner-up in Anderson's historic win:

1. Calvin “cal42688″ Anderson (Mexico) $23,643.00
2. Nick “nabourisk” Abou Risk (Ireland) $17,636.40
3. b8chatz (United Kingdom) $13,099.50
4. jonstarz (United Kingdom) $8,946.00
5. nimzon (Finland) $6,390.00
6. Truelove13 (Russia) $3,834.00

Here is a look at Anderson's three other SCOOP titles:

• 2026SCOOP -12-H: $2100 PL Omaha Heads-Up: $18,408
• 2026SCOOP-27-H: $2100 Razz: $46,200
• 2026SCOOP – 17-L: $15 PLO w/Rebuys: $26,940

Not to be outdone, Deeb is also making waves during the 2026 SCOOP series. Deeb won four titles last year on his way to the SCOOP leader-board title, and this year Deeb has already made multiple final tables, and is now sitting atop the SCOOP leader-board for the second straight year. Here is a look at the Overall Leaders on the SCOOP leader-board (PokerStars also runs individual leader-boards for the Low, Medium, and High buy-in events):

Place	User ID	Country	Played	Points

There is still a lot of poker left to be played before the 2026 SCOOP tournament series comes to a close, including the Main Events this Sunday, so there is still plenty of time for a leader-board shakeup, as well as more SCOOP history to possibly be made.
