Thought Sponge checks the total number of cards drawn by each opponent, not how many were drawn due to a single instruction.
Thought Sponge checks how many cards were drawn by opponents this turn, even opponents who have left the game. The greatest number drawn by a single opponent is how many +1/+1 counters it enters with.
