WCOOP: Mike ‘GoLeafsGoEh’ Leah Wins Third Title, $85K

Mike Leah didn’t get to play much of the 2019 World Series of Poker after his first child was born during the summer. The Canadian doesn’t have to miss a single hand of the PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker though and on Saturday he made the most of it by winning his third career WCOOP title.
Leah topped a 219-player field in Event #38 High ($2,100 No Limit Hold’em Turbo) for $85,476.67. After the victory, he tweeted a winner photo that included his newest addition.
