Patrick Leonard Has a Chance to Top the SCOOP All-Time Leaderboard
British pro Patrick "pads1161" Leonard has won 13 SCOOP events during his illustrious career. On March 18, Leonard has the opportunity to climb to the top of the all-time SCOOP leaderboard by capturing his 14th and 15th titles.
Only Swedish duo Simon "C. Darwin2" Mattsson and Jerry "Perrymejsen" Odeen, with 14 victories, have won more SCOOP events than Leonard. However, the popular Brit finds himself deep in $215 and $1,050 buy-in editions of the Super Tuesday.
Some 883 players bought into the $215 Super Tuesday, but only 31 remain in contention for the $28,269 top prize. Leonard returns to the action with 1,878,986 chips, enough for ninth place at the restart.
Only 20 of the 177 starters remain in the $1,050 Super Tuesday. While Leonard's 423,417 stack places him 14th when play resumes, a player of Leonard's undoubted ability can easily turn things around.
Play in both Super Tuesdays mentioned here resumes at 5:30 p.m. GMT on March 18. Stay tuned to PokerNews to discover if Leonard does indeed come out on top in both and becomes the first-ever player to win 15 titles.
