Mike ‘goleafsgoeh’ Leah Wins Second 2016 SCOOP Title

Mike ‘goleafsgoeh’ Leah now has two 2016 SCOOP titles.

Just four days after beating Ari Engel heads-up to win his first 2016 Spring Championship of Online Poker title, Mike ‘goleafsgoeh’ Leah scored his second win in Event 48 (H), $2,100 Seven Card Stud, after overcoming a star-studded final table that included Jens ‘Fresh_oO_D’ Lakemeier, Stephen ‘stevie444’ Chidwick and eventual runner-up Luke ‘lb6121’ Schwartz.

After his victory, Leah took to Twitter to celebrate before turning his focus to the rest of Sunday’s schedule.


Leah’s final table victory was one of 15 on a busy Sunday. The biggest score on the day belonged to ‘OtB_RedBaron’, who took down the $21,000 buy-in High Roller Heads-Up No Limit Hold’em event for $229,600. The high stakes regular added the SCOOP title to the WCOOP High Roller Heads-Up title he won in 2014. The final eight of the event included Doug ‘WCG|Rider’ Polk, Ben ‘Ben86’ Tollerene, Timofey ‘Trueteller’ Kuznetsov and eventual runner-up Jake ‘JLlama’ Abdalla.

The win in the mid-stakes version of the event went to ‘jamjam818’ who beat ‘dougiedan678’ to win $83,800. The pair agreed to a chop midway during their heads-up finale allowing ’dougiedan’ to walk away with $89,000 thanks to the chip lead he held at the time. Ukrainian pro ’serhiy1989’ won the low-stakes version for $25,104.18.

Niall ‘firaldo87’ Farrell also had a Sunday to remember. Farrell beat out 423 other players, including former November Niner Felix ‘ZhipOHoy’ Stephensen heads-up, to win $159,040.00 in Event 47 (H), $2,100 No Limit Hold’em Min-Max.

While there were 15 titles handed out on Sunday, it also marked Day 1 of the Main Event at all three buy-in levels. The $10,000 buy-in high stakes event brought in 824 players with 129 moving on to Day 2. Germany’s ‘lissi stinkt’ leads heading into Day 2. In the mid-stakes version, 5,206 players put up the $1,000 buy-in with only 251 advancing to Day 2 and the overnight chip leader is ‘Airdraken’. The low-stakes version brought out 24,591 players including Japan’s ‘jp_legacy’ who turned his re-entry into the event into a chip lead with 222 players left. Action resumes Monday.
