Patrick Leonard Strikes Gold in the Sunday Supersonic
Few things in life are certain, but you can bet your bottom dollar that Patrick "pads1161" Leonard will capture at least one Spring Championship Of Online Poker (SCOOP) title each year.
Leonard kept up his annual tradition of becoming a SCOOP champion by coming out on top in the $530 buy-in edition of the Sunday Supersonic, a hyper-turbo structured event that saw 204 entrants create a $103,942 prize pool.
Benjamin "bencb789" Rolle was the last player to leave this event empty-handed, his 25th place finish coming with nothing but the unwanted title of bubble boy. Rolle's demise locked up at least $1,156 for the 24 surviving players.
Gavin "gavz101" Cochrane, Pedro "PaDiLhA SP" Padilha, Peter "Belabacsi" Traply, Kelvin "Kelvin_FP:AR" Kerber, and Dimitar "KuuL" Danchev were among those who saw a return on their $530 investments.
That $530 buy-in was worth at least $4,202 to the seven players who reached the final table. "Kobe843" of Lithuania collected this sum after finishing in seventh place.
Renan "Aziz.Mancha" Aziz, Germany's "HardiZ1," and "TigerFish111" busted to leave only three players in the hunt for the title. Those three became two when Costa Rica-based Dutchman Joris "BillLewinsky" Ruijs fell by the wayside.
Ruijs' exit left Leonard heads-up against Andorra's "SuspiciousCat," and there was only going to be one outcome: a Leonard victory. Leonard did eliminate his final opponent to bank $20,396 and the 11th SCOOP gong of what continues to be an incredible poker career.
