British grinder Leonard is a regular sight at the tables and won the fourth SCOOP-title of his career in
SCOOP-57-H: $1,050 NLHE [Freezeout, Afternoon Deep Stack] for $60,953. Leonard defeated a 324-player field with such luminaries as Dante "dantegoyaF" Goya (2nd), the red-hot Joao "Naza114" Vieira (5th), and Conor "1_conor_b_1" Beresford (7th) at the final table.
With the victory, Leonard strengthened his bid to win the Player of the Series leaderboard. Being more than halfway through the series, Leonard jumped ahead of the Swedish end bosses Niklas "Lena900" Astedt and Simon "C. Darwin2" Mattsson to take the lead on the High leaderboard.
