PokerStars 2020 SCOOP News: Titles For Nitsche and Leonard

Another round-up from the world of PokerStars and their Spring Championships of Online Poker (SCOOP), and Dominik ‘Bounatirou’ Nitsche has won his first-ever title.

The four-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner, and World Poker Tour (WPT) Champions Club member, is now a SCOOP Champ after winning the 956-entrant Event #87: $530 No Limit Hold’em.

Nitsche has earned more than $5.8m playing online multi-table tournaments (MTTs) through more than 100 victories, and this ranks as his fourth most substantial score.

Known more for his live exploits, the ‘DTO Poker’ creator currently ranks number 2 in the German online poker rankings on PocketFives behind ‘nilsef.’

Patrick Leonard Wins Another One

Moving swiftly on from the German #2 to the World #3, and Patrick ‘pads1161’ Leonard has been handing out more black eyes than Iron Mike Tyson these past few weeks.

Less than a fortnight ago, Leonard bested a 117-entrant field to collect the $52,605.66 first prize in Event #53: $2,100 Pot Limit Omaha 6-Max, and over the weekend he collected his second title of the series, beating a 460-entrant field in Event #93: $215 No Limit Hold’em Turbo w Rebuys. Leonard earned $41,808.65 for the win. Andras ‘probirs’ Nemeth finished fourth.

Let’s not forget that sandwiched between those two titles came a $1.6m score on GGPoker.
