Patrick Leonard became the all-time PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) leader on Saturday, claiming two titles in under 10 minutes to reach a record 15 victories in the series.

Leonard, playing under the handle "pads1161," captured back-to-back 8-Game titles in SCOOP events 107-M and 107-H, overtaking Simon Mattsson and Jerry Odeen to become the all-time leader in online poker’s flagship spring series, which recently surpassed $1.5 billion in total payouts.

Saturday's dual victory is the crowning moment in what has been a remarkable 2026 SCOOP for Leonard, widely considered to be one of the best online players in the world, who has won five titles in just a few short weeks.

And with three days remaining, including the marquee SCOOP Main Events kicking off on Sunday, there’s every chance the Brit isn’t finished yet.

That Leonard's Saturday SCOOP double came in mixed-game events will be little surprise to anyone familiar with the man from Newcastle, England, who just last month finished 2nd to Yuri Dzivielevski in the $15,000 Big Bet Mix at the 2026 PGT Mixed Games Series for $166,950.

He kicked off his SCOOP weekend with a win in SCOOP 107-M: $109 8-Game, $15K Gtd, an event that smashed its guarantee with a $26,400 prize pool and earned Leonard $5,088.96.

Just nine minutes later, he followed up with victory in SCOOP 107-H: $530 8-Game, $20K Gtd, which also exceeded its guarantee with a $34,000 prize pool, taking home $9,176.97 and banking more than $14,000 in less time than it takes to drink a cup of coffee.

That double was enough to leapfrog Odeen and Mattsson, putting Leonard firmly atop the all-time SCOOP leaderboard on a record 15-titles.
