Patrick Leonard Wins Back-to-Back WCOOP Titles
Patrick LeonardPatrick "pads1161" Leonard is enjoying a purple patch of form, one that has seen the popular British superstar secured back-to-back WCOOP titles. Leonard won the WCOOP #08-H: $5,200 NLHE 8-Max PKO on August 24, and followed that up with victory in the WCOOP-15-H: $1,050 NL 2-7 Single Draw 7-Max event.
Leonard’s victory came after he navigated his way through a star-studded field of 70 players in the $1,050 buy-in NL 2-7 Single Draw 7-Max tournament.
Finland’s "serkku21" burst the money bubble after busting in 11th, paving the way for a cash of at least $2,450 for the surviving players. That prize money increased to $3,150 by the time the seven-handed final table was reach.
