Patrick Leonard Keeps SCOOP Rolling as UK Mixed-Game Players Stay in the Spotlight

Patrick Leonard’s latest PokerStars SCOOP run has reinforced a familiar point for anyone tracking elite online tournament series: the United Kingdom continues to produce players who can compete across the full mixed-game schedule, not only in No-Limit Hold’em. Leonard won SCOOP 56-M, the $215 Fixed-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw event, for $5,569 after a 132-entry field generated a $26,400 prize pool.

The win was not an isolated result. Leonard had already captured SCOOP titles earlier in the same stretch in a $530 Sunday Supersonic and a $1,050 PLO8 event, underlining the breadth of his game rather than a single-format spike. In the $215 2-7 Triple Draw itself, he defeated fellow Brit “CnlSayWanker” heads-up, while another UK player, “The TJS,” finished third, making it a particularly strong showing for British mixed-game specialists.

The higher buy-in version of the same discipline also featured UK success. In SCOOP 56-H, the $1,050 Fixed-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw, UK player “elkKJliow” finished third for $7,086, while Leonard himself added a fifth-place finish worth $3,322. That event was won by Austria’s “Dosenpfand,” but the British presence deep in the field again stood out in one of the most technically demanding formats on the schedule.

What makes these results more interesting than a simple national tally is the type of games involved. Mixed formats such as 2-7 Triple Draw, PLO8, Razz and 8-Game expose weak spots far more quickly than standard hold’em-heavy schedules. Leonard’s run, alongside other British results across the series, suggests that UK regulars are not merely surviving in specialist events but actively shaping them.

There is also a wider competitive signal here. Leonard was already pushing up the all-time SCOOP leaderboard during the series, showing that this was not just a one-off result but part of a sustained run. When a player is threatening leaderboard history while doing much of the damage in mixed formats, it says something about both current form and technical range.
