Scott Margereson
Chesterfield, England, United Kingdom
Scott Margereson from Chesterfield is one of the most active British tournament players in the world right now, and the number that proves it is not his earnings total but his Global Poker Index rank: 52nd, which is top-flight current form rather than a historical reputation. He has $5,457,877 in live earnings, 23rd on The Hendon Mob's United Kingdom all-time list and 20th on its England list, with a best live cash of $696,740.
His 2025 and 2026 read as a run of outright wins rather than deep runs. He took the PokerStars Open Main Event at EPT Malta in October 2025 for $497,329, the €2,700 EPT Second Chance at EPT Barcelona in August 2026 for $421,287, and the APT High Roller at APT Jeju on 3 October 2026 for $188,246 — then won a second Jeju bracelet three days later, a KRW 500,000 no-limit Courchevel hi-lo turbo, for $2,823. The Barcelona festival has been unusually kind to him: he also won a hyper-turbo knockout freezeout there in August 2025.
He is an online player as much as a live one. The Hendon Mob credits him with $7,865,997 in online tournament earnings — more than he has won in live poker — which is the usual shape for a British player of his generation and the context for his PocketFives ranking of 373rd. Figures per The Hendon Mob, read 7 October 2026.
