2026 SCOOP: Patrick Leonard becomes all-time SCOOP king

Pads SCOOP titles

Patrick Leonard is now alone at the top after winning his 14th and 15th SCOOP titles on Saturday, giving him the all-time lead.

Leonard won a pair of 8-Game championships within a matter of 10 minutes. Leonard took down the 264-entry $109 Event #107-M for $5,088, and topped the 68-entry $530 #107-H for $9,177.

In addition to his incredible run of three titles in three days, Leonard now has five titles in 2026, by far the best Spring Championship of Online Poker of his career.

With the second win, Leonard broke a tie with Simon “C. Darwin” Mattsson, FAL1st, and Jerry “Perrymejsen” Odeen.

A dream come true

Patrick Leonard says it’s mission accomplished after going atop the all-time SCOOP leaderboard. Although the attached graphic says otherwise, Leonard’s 28 combined COOP titles now tie him with Benny Glaser.

Leonard’s five titles eclipse his previous best of two, achieved in 2020, 2021, and 2025.

Amazingly, five titles in one year would have tied Simon Mattsson’s record from last year. However, “king153246” won a record seven titles in 2026, while Brazilian crusher Renan “Internett93o” Bruschi won six titles.

2026 has been a year of multiple title winners, with “TapiscallĂ©?”, Jerry “Perrymejsen” Ă–deen, and “FAL1st” each winning four titles.
