Flashback: Edward Leonard Wins 2025 PokerStars Open Philadelphia Main Event

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Edward Leonard

As the grind of the final day at the PokerStars Open Philadelphia series wore on back in April, Edward Leonard insisted that winning was not his focus in the $1,100 Main Event.

All 146 returning players were looking to make a deep run at Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia, and it took more than 18 hours of play to reach the final three contenders. The trio paused the clock to look at a deal, one that left Leonard finally realizing what he had just accomplished.

After reaching an agreement with Guan Huang and Frank Funaro, it was time to let all of that exhaustion and emotion out.

“I feel pretty great,” the newly crowned champion told PokerNews after the deal was concluded. “It’s been a pretty sick start to the year for me, definitely didn’t expect this one but I mean, I ran pretty pure.”
